Frequently Asked Questions

How is the five-cartridge count in this set made up?

The listing is a five-cartridge set built on the four-number family 44844509, 44844510, 44844511 and 44844512 — which means one of the four positions is doubled up — but the product data does not state which position carries the extra cartridge. If the exact mix matters for your stockroom, contact our support team before ordering and we will confirm the breakdown for you.

What is the per-cartridge cost at the $172.95 set price?

Dividing $172.95 across five cartridges gives about $34.59 per cartridge, a small step down from the per-cartridge cost of the four-cartridge set in this same family. Each cartridge position here is rated at 10,000 pages — black at 10,000 pages and colors at 10,000 pages — so the extra cartridge buys you 10,000 more pages of coverage in whichever position it fills.

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

It suits a C831dn or MC873-series machine where one color position consistently runs out ahead of the others. Rather than placing a second order mid-cycle for a single cartridge, the doubled position is already on your shelf. If your usage is even across all four positions, the standard four-cartridge set is the simpler buy.

Which printers does this set work with?

The set is made for the Oki C831, C831dn and C831n, and for the MC873dn and MC873dnc. Those machines take the cartridge family referenced by 44844509, 44844510, 44844511 and 44844512, and this five-cartridge bundle covers that same family.

Are these genuine Okidata cartridges?

No, they are compatible cartridges made to fit the printers that use 44844509, 44844510, 44844511 and 44844512. You can browse the wider range on the Okidata brand page.

What warranty and returns apply to this set?

The set carries a one-year warranty together with one-year free returns — the details are on our shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This 5 Color Set for the C831dn

This is a five-cartridge bundle for the Oki C831, C831dn, C831n, MC873dn and MC873dnc, built on the 44844509, 44844510, 44844511 and 44844512 family, with the black rated at 10,000 pages and the colors rated at 10,000 pages. At $172.95 — about $34.59 per cartridge — it adds one extra cartridge beyond the standard four-position refresh; because the listing does not specify which position is doubled, our support team (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST) can confirm the exact mix before you order.
