Frequently Asked Questions
Is a three-pack a sensible size for one SP C220, or is it overbuying?
It depends entirely on your monthly volume. Three cartridges at 2,000 pages each give you 6,000 pages: at 250 pages a month that is two full years, which is a long time to hold stock for one aging machine. At 500 pages a month it is a tidy one-year supply, and the pack starts to make real sense. The price helps the case — $161.30 total, $53.77 per cartridge, $36.97 saved against three singles. If your C220 prints steadily and is not about to be retired, the three-pack is the balanced buy; very light users should stay with a single or the 2-pack.
What does the per-page cost look like in this pack?
Bought singly, this cartridge runs about 3.3 cents per page — expensive, and we say so openly. In this three-pack the per-cartridge price falls to $53.77, which brings the page cost down to roughly 2.7 cents. Still not a cheap cartridge by any standard; the C220 family was built around small 2,000-page units, and no pack size changes that design. Buying three at once is about paying less for the same reality, plus not reordering as often.
Why stock up on the black cartridge for a color machine?
Because black does the heavy lifting even in a color printer — everyday documents, forms and labels are black work, and an empty black cartridge stops the machine entirely, including color jobs. Running out of black is the single most disruptive empty this printer can have. Holding two spares means a year or more where that particular stoppage simply cannot happen.
Which printers take these cartridges?
All three are the 406046 black cartridge built for Ricoh Aficio SP C220. Confirm the cartridge number on the black unit currently installed in your printer before you order; the wider Ricoh color range includes close-looking models that take different cartridges, and the printed 406046 number is the check that matters.
How should I rotate three cartridges so none gets wasted?
Keep the spares sealed, flat, and in a cool dry cupboard. Mark each box with the month it arrived and always install the oldest first. Toner keeps well sealed, so rotation is about simple order, not race-against-expiry. And swap only when print actually fades — the machine's early low-toner warnings leave a good amount of usable toner behind, which at this cartridge's price is worth using up.
What coverage do I get across the three cartridges?
Each one is independently covered by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — a problem with one cartridge is resolved on that cartridge without touching the other two, as set out on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is staffed Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if anything needs sorting out.
About This Ricoh 406046 Black Toner 3-Pack
Three compatible 406046 black toner cartridges for the Ricoh Aficio SP C220 color series, 2,000 pages each and 6,000 pages across the pack, priced at $161.30 — $53.77 per cartridge and $36.97 less than three singles. The honest framing: this is a low-yield cartridge in an older machine, so the pack's value is a lower per-cartridge price and a year-plus of black printing secured for the cartridge this printer cannot run without. Every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns from Clever Supplies, and the full lineup is on the Ricoh brand page.
