Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an eight-cartridge C5850 set actually for?

For a machine that prints enough that restocking is a recurring chore. This set puts eight compatible cartridges from the 43865720, 43865719, 43865718 and 43865717 family in one box for $272.52, so a busy C5850 can be fed from the shelf for a long stretch instead of being reordered every time a color runs dry. If your printer sits idle most weeks, the smaller sets in this family will suit you better — this one rewards volume.

How are the eight cartridges divided by color?

The listing does not say, and we will not invent a split. What is certain is that the eight cartridges all belong to the 43865717, 43865718, 43865719 and 43865720 family. If you need the exact division before ordering — for example, if your work is heavily black — contact our support team and we will confirm it from the actual box rather than leave you guessing.

What does the bigger box do to the per-cartridge price?

It brings it down. At $272.52 for eight cartridges, the average is about $34.07 each, against roughly $36.38 per cartridge in the four-cartridge set from the same family at $145.50. The saving per cartridge is modest but real, and it compounds across a set this size.

What yields does the family carry?

Up to 8,000 pages for black cartridges and up to 6,000 pages for each color cartridge, at standard coverage. We keep the two classes separate rather than summing them: how long eight cartridges last depends on the color split in the box and on how your printing divides between documents and color work.

How do I store eight cartridges without spoiling them?

Easily — keep them sealed, flat, and in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Toner is a dry powder, so a sealed cartridge does not dry out or expire the way liquid ink can. Install each cartridge only when its position in the printer actually runs out.

What warranty and returns cover a set this size?

The same cover as every Clever Supplies compatible: a one-year warranty and one-year free returns on the cartridges, detailed on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouses, and support — including confirming this set's color split — is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central. More of the family range is on our Okidata page.

Black cartridges in the family are rated up to 8,000 pages and colors up to 6,000 each.

For owners of Oki C6150dtn, Oki C6150hdn, Oki C6150n and Oki C6150dn, the color question ends at this four-color set. Those four numbers — 43865717, 43865718, 43865719 and 43865720 — can each be reordered singly when one color runs down ahead of the rest.
