Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this C830dn set contain five cartridges instead of four?

A printer only has four positions — black, cyan, magenta and yellow — so a five-cartridge set means one position is covered twice. That is the point of the pack: the color your office burns through fastest gets a built-in spare, so the first low-toner warning does not force an emergency order. The set is built on the same Oki part-number family as the standard four-color set — 44059112, 44059111, 44059110 and 44059109 — with an extra cartridge added to the bundle.

Which cartridge is the doubled one?

That detail is not stated in the listing data we publish from, and we would rather tell you that than guess. Before ordering, ask our support team — Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — to confirm which color is doubled in this five-cartridge set, so the spare matches the position your C830dn actually consumes fastest. It is a two-minute check that makes the pack do the job it is bought for.

What is the fifth cartridge effectively costing me?

This five-cartridge set is $136.64, against $110.29 for the four-color set in the same family — so the extra cartridge adds $26.35 to the order, and the average across all five cartridges works out to roughly $27.33 each. Every cartridge in the pack is rated at up to 8,000 pages, black and colors alike at the standard 5% coverage, so the spare carries the same rating as the four it joins.

Who is a five-cartridge set the right size for?

An office that already knows its consumption pattern. If your C830dn consistently empties one color long before the others — black in most text-heavy offices — a pack with a spare in reserve smooths the reorder cycle. If your usage is light and even, the standard four-color set is probably all you need; there is no advantage in stocking a spare you will not reach for a year.

How should I handle the spare when the set arrives?

Install the cartridges you need now and keep the extra sealed in its packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry place out of sunlight. Sealed toner stores well for extended periods, so the spare will be ready the day its position runs dry. Rotate it in when the warning appears and your printer never waits on a shipment.

What cover and support come with this set?

Each cartridge carries a one-year warranty, and compatible cartridges from Clever Supplies come with one year of free returns; the process is described on the shipping and returns page. Sets ship from four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — and the four-color and eight-cartridge versions of this family can be compared on the Okidata page.
