Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm this is the cyan cartridge and not another color?
Check the short code on the label: TK867C is the cyan unit, and the final C is the part that matters. Kyocera's color codes all share the same TK867 stem, so the last letter is what separates cyan from its neighbors. Match TK867C against the cartridge you removed and you have the right slot.
Why do my prints look too red when the cyan runs low?
Because cyan is the counterweight to red in everything the machine prints. As it fades, reds and magentas stop being balanced and take over the page — photos lean pink, company blues turn purple, and neutral grays pick up a warm cast. Black text stays crisp through all of it, which is why a color imbalance like this almost always traces back to one fading color cartridge rather than the printer itself.
What does the 12,000-page rating mean for a color cartridge?
It is measured at standard coverage, where each page uses a modest amount of cyan. A text-led office barely sips at it, since letterheads and charts use far less cyan than a full-bleed photo page. Expect the rating to hold up well for document work and to shrink on image-heavy runs — that is coverage doing the arithmetic, not a short-filled cartridge.
Can I swap the cyan in the middle of a print run?
Yes — pause the job, open the cover, and exchange the one unit. The TASKalfa 250ci keeps each color in its own bay, so the black, magenta and yellow cartridges are not disturbed, and the run can pick up again with the color balance restored from the next page onward.
My old cyan still has toner moving inside it. Is it really empty?
Possibly not quite — rocking the old cartridge gently side to side redistributes what is left and can carry a short, urgent job. Treat that as a bridge, not a fix: once the warning has appeared, output quality drops off quickly, and pale or streaked blues will follow within a handful of pages.
What protection comes with this cartridge?
It is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, detailed on our shipping & returns page. If the cartridge underperforms or fails within the year, returning it costs you nothing — the cover applies to this unit on its own, whatever the other colors are doing.
How do I verify the color balance is really back after fitting this cyan?
Reprint a document your office knows by heart — the letterhead with its blue logo, or a regular chart — and compare it with a copy printed when the TK867C was last healthy. Restored cyan is obvious on familiar content: blues sit where they should and grays lose their warm, pinkish cast. A brand-new document gives you nothing to judge against, so verification is weaker.
A long color run is coming up — what should be checked before it starts?
All four toner levels, not only the cyan you are about to fit. A fresh TK867C does the run no good if the magenta or yellow is two hundred pages from empty. Two minutes at the supply screen before a big job — and fitting anything that is clearly low — is what stops the run pausing halfway through for a cartridge nobody looked at.
Should the old cyan go straight out once the new one is in?
Keep it for a few days. If the warm cast and pink-leaning photos disappear with the TK867C fitted, the old cartridge was the fault and it can go. If the same imbalance survives a fresh cartridge, the spent unit is proof the problem lies with the machine or another slot — and having it to hand saves repeating the whole diagnosis from scratch.
Spent color cartridges are piling up by the printer. What is the sensible routine?
Give empties one collection point and clear them out in batches instead of one at a time. Keep any cartridge that failed early or printed badly separate from the genuinely exhausted ones: a faulty TK867C is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, and mixing it into the general pile is how a returnable unit gets thrown away by mistake.
About This TK867C Cyan Cartridge
Cyan carries more of this printer's color work than it gets credit for: it builds every blue, half of every green, and it is the brake that keeps reds honest. This TK867C refill restores that balance in the Kyocera TASKalfa 250ci at a rated 12,000 pages, and it is priced at $77.44 as part of our compatible Kyocera-Mita line. It suits offices whose printed color has started drifting warm and who want the one fading slot replaced without touching the rest of the set. Stock ships from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
