Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an eight-cartridge set actually for?

Offices that print in real volume, run more than one printer from this family, or simply refuse to be caught without toner. Eight cartridges is roughly two full rounds of changes for a single machine, so this set suits a busy C5500-group printer or a small fleet sharing the same supplies — the cartridges all come from the same four Oki part numbers: 43324401, 43324402, 43324403 and 43324404. If you print a few pages a week, it is more toner than you need; the smaller sets exist for that.

How are the eight cartridges split between black and the colors?

This listing does not publish the exact breakdown — it does not promise two of each color, for instance. If the mix matters to your stocking plan, ask our support team (Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST) to confirm what is in the box before you buy, and we will verify it rather than guess.

What does each cartridge average out to at this set price?

The set is $292.66, which over eight cartridges averages about $36.58 per cartridge — below the per-cartridge average of the family's four-color set. The saving comes from committing to volume in a single order instead of reordering one set at a time.

What page ratings do the cartridges in this set carry?

The family ratings are up to 6,000 pages for black and up to 5,000 pages for each color, measured at the standard 5% coverage. Across two rounds of changes that is a deep reserve of printing, though your real totals will depend on how much color your documents use.

Will cartridges still print properly after months on our shelf?

Yes, with ordinary care: keep them sealed in their packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Stored that way, toner cartridges hold up fine over the kind of timeframe an eight-cartridge stock-up implies, and each one is still covered by its 1-year warranty.

Which printers does this set work with, and what if one cartridge fails?

The set serves the C5500 family group, including the C5500n, C5650dn, C5650n, C5800 and C5800Ldn — any printer whose supply list shows the 43324401, 43324402, 43324403 or 43324404 numbers. And if a cartridge from the set fails early, it is a Clever Supplies compatible backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, as described on our shipping & returns page.
