Frequently Asked Questions

We barely print anything yellow — why is this cartridge empty?

Yellow hides inside colors you would never guess: greens are cyan plus yellow, warm grays and skin tones lean on it, and most photographs draw some yellow on nearly every page. So a C2500 that "never prints yellow" can still work steadily through the 10,500-page rating. It is the most commonly underestimated cartridge in the set.

Can the printer keep going in black if yellow runs dry?

For plain black documents, generally yes — the machine can continue monochrome work. Color jobs, however, will stall or shift visibly until yellow is replaced, which is why a fast shared printer like the C2500 is a poor place to discover an empty color on deadline day.

What does yellow add to our per-page cost?

At $64.98 for a rated 10,500 pages, yellow contributes about 0.62 cents per page at standard coverage, the same as the other two colors in this family. Offices that print mostly text use far less of it than the rating assumes, so their effective cost per yellow page is lower still.

Does this yellow cartridge work in anything other than the C2500 in the title?

Yes — the title names a single model, but the 842308 yellow cartridge is common to the Ricoh IM C2000 and IM C2500 platform, and the C2000 takes the same unit as the C2500. One spare on the shelf can rescue either machine.

How long do I have to change my mind or report a problem?

A full year. Every cartridge is warranted for twelve months, and returns are free throughout that first year, so there is no risk in keeping a spare or in reporting a unit that prints streaky from day one. Our shipping and returns page spells out the process.

How quickly can a replacement reach us?

We ship from four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — using whichever is nearest to your address. If you need a hand confirming the right cartridge before ordering, support is staffed Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 Central.
