Frequently Asked Questions

How does the $155.58 price of this C5500 set break down?

There are four cartridges in the box — one black plus cyan, magenta and yellow — so the $155.58 set price works out to an average of about $38.90 per cartridge. The cartridges are the four Oki numbers 43324401, 43324402, 43324403 and 43324404, sold together so a full color refresh takes one order instead of four.

Why is the black cartridge rated at 6,000 pages while the colors are rated at 5,000?

Black does most of the work in everyday office printing — text, forms, invoices — so the black cartridge in this family carries the larger fill: up to 6,000 pages, against up to 5,000 pages for each color, all at the standard 5% coverage. In practice the black usually still runs out first, just not as quickly as it would with a smaller rating.

Which printers is this set made for?

It fits Oki color laser printers in the C5500 family group, including the C5500n, C5650dn, C5650n, C5800 and C5800Ldn. If your printer's supply list shows any of the part numbers 43324401 through 43324404, this set matches what it takes.

Can I replace just one cartridge and keep the rest as spares?

Yes. The four cartridges are separate units in the box, each swapped on its own schedule. Replace the empty one now and store the others unopened — toner cartridges keep well on a shelf in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight, so there is no penalty for working through the set gradually.

How long will this set last a small office?

It depends on your volume, but the ratings give a rough yardstick: at about 500 black pages a month, the 6,000-page black cartridge alone covers close to a year of text printing, and the 5,000-page colors last longer still in offices that print mostly documents with occasional color. Heavy color work shortens that, light use stretches it.

What happens if a cartridge from the set gives me trouble?

These are Clever Supplies compatible cartridges, and each one is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns. A cartridge that leaks, streaks or fails early within that period is replaced or refunded — details are on our shipping & returns page.
