Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridge number should purchasing put on the order?
TK8309K — that is the black toner cartridge specified for the TASKalfa 3050ci, and it is the number printed on the label of the unit currently in the machine. This listing is the five-cartridge stock-up, priced at $319.14.
Why would a department hold five cartridges at once?
Volume and predictability. A busy 3050ci works through toner on a schedule, and five cartridges on the shelf turn toner into a planned line item instead of a recurring emergency order. It also means one approval and one delivery cover a long stretch of printing.
How many pages does each of the five cartridges deliver?
Each TK8309K is rated at 15,000 pages under standard test coverage. Text documents and forms track that rating fairly closely; coverage-heavy work — presentation pages, shaded tables, bold graphics — draws more toner per page and shortens the run.
Do all five cartridges print with the same density and quality?
Yes — every unit in the box is the same compatible TK8309K build, so output stays consistent from the first cartridge to the last. There is no mixing of batches or suppliers inside one pack to wonder about when a new unit goes in.
What happens if a unit in the middle of our stock turns out faulty?
It is covered individually. Each cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and free returns for a year, regardless of when it comes out of the box, and our support team — available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — can help verify whether the cartridge or the machine is at fault before anything is sent back.
How is a bulk order like this delivered?
It ships from whichever warehouse in IL, PA, GA and CA is nearest to the delivery address. Expected transit times and full return instructions are posted on our shipping and returns page.
What does five cartridges work out to per unit and per page?
At $319.14 for five, each TK8309K comes to $63.83, and five cartridges at 15,000 pages each give 75,000 rated pages — about 0.43 cents a page at the rating. Turn the total into calendar time by dividing 75,000 by your monthly black page count, and you have the stretch this stock-up covers. Coverage-heavy work shortens the run and plain documents track it, so treat the figure as a planning guide rather than a promise.
How do I know when to order the next five-pack?
Count, not dates. When the last sealed TK8309K goes into the machine, order the next box that same day. A full cartridge is still running, so there is no rush — but the shelf is now empty, and the order placed at that moment arrives well before the running cartridge ends. Waiting for the low-toner warning instead leaves the whole cycle with no buffer.
Our print volume jumps in busy quarters — does the five-pack actually help?
Yes — that is what depth is for. A spike in volume draws down the shelf instead of triggering an emergency order, and the cartridges wait sealed in the meantime, so a quiet month costs nothing. Five deep means the department's printing schedule, not the delivery schedule, decides when toner becomes a task again.
Should I check anything on the box when a five-pack arrives?
Count five units and confirm that each label reads TK8309K before shelving them. A miscount found on arrival is easy to sort out; a miscount found months later, when the shelf is already drawn down, is not. Write the arrival date on the outer box as well, so the oldest stock is always the first to be opened.
