Frequently Asked Questions

This C5850 set has five cartridges — how are they divided among the colors?

Here is the honest answer: the listing tells us this is a five-cartridge set from the 43865720, 43865719, 43865718 and 43865717 family, but it does not break down how the five are split across the four color positions, and we are not going to guess a split and print it as fact. If the exact division matters for your planning, ask our support team before ordering and we will confirm it from the box — better a quick question than a wrong assumption on paper.

What does the five-cartridge set cost?

$172.98 for the set, which averages about $34.60 per cartridge — a lower per-cartridge figure than the four-cartridge version of this family at $145.50 (about $36.38 each). Buying the larger set brings the average down, which is the straightforward arithmetic behind choosing it.

What page ratings apply?

The family ratings are up to 8,000 pages for black and up to 6,000 pages for each color cartridge, at standard coverage. We quote them by class rather than adding them into a single total, because how long the set lasts depends on which colors your C5850 work actually consumes — and, on this set, on the color split described above.

How do I verify the family fits my machine?

Match the number on a cartridge already in your printer against 43865717, 43865718, 43865719 and 43865720. One match confirms the family. That check matters more than the model name, since the same cartridge family serves more than one machine.

Can I work through the five cartridges gradually?

Yes. Install whichever cartridge the printer needs and keep the remainder sealed in a cool, dry place. Toner does not dry out in a sealed cartridge, so a larger set bought ahead of need keeps perfectly well until each cartridge's turn comes.

What cover backs this set?

Every cartridge is a Clever Supplies compatible with a one-year warranty and one-year free returns — see our shipping & returns page for the terms, and support can also confirm the set's color split for you, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central. Orders ship from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouses.
