Frequently Asked Questions

What changes on the C831dn when a fresh cyan goes in?

The cool half of the palette comes back: blues regain depth, greens sit where they should and greys print neutral instead of warm. If your C831dn output has been drifting yellow-green, the cyan — cartridge 44844511, the subject of this listing — is the usual culprit, and one swap corrects the whole palette at once.

Does fitting this cyan mean touching the other cartridges?

No. The C831dn's colors are independent units, so the 44844511 lifts out and its replacement seats alone. The yellow 44844509 and magenta 44844510 stay undisturbed, and each is replaced on its own evidence in due course.

How does this listing relate to the 44844511 part-number page?

They are two doors to the same cartridge. This one is titled for the C831dn because many buyers search by the machine on their desk; the other is titled by the number on a supply list. Price, $47.48, and yield class, 10,000 pages, are identical whichever door you come through.

Which other machines share this cyan?

Through the 448445xx family, the same cartridge serves the C831 and C831n printers and the MC873dn and MC873dnc multifunction models. A mixed fleet of those machines needs only this one cyan on the shelf.

What is the running cost with this cartridge?

Roughly 0.47 cents per page for cyan — $47.48 spread over the 10,000-page rating. That matches the family's yellow and magenta exactly, so no color is the expensive one in this set.

Is this the original-brand cyan?

No — a compatible cartridge built to the same fit and yield standard, sold under our Clever Supplies name in our Okidata range. It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns under our shipping and returns policy, ships from IL, PA, GA or CA, and support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
