Frequently Asked Questions

What does one black printed page actually cost with this cartridge?

At $64.03 and a rated yield of 16,500 pages, black output works out to roughly 0.39 cents per page. That is cartridge cost only — paper and the machine itself are extra — but on a platform where black carries most of the everyday printing, it is the number that drives your real supply budget.

How long will 16,500 pages last in a real office?

An office printing about 1,500 black pages a month would get close to eleven months from one cartridge, while a busier department at 4,000 pages a month would finish it in around four months. Because the black yield on this platform is well above the 10,500-page color yields, black is normally the last cartridge to need replacing.

What is that 16,500-page figure based on?

It follows the standard yield measurement of about 5% page coverage — a normal text page with margins and line spacing. Dense reports, bold headings, and shaded tables draw more toner, so heavy-formatted output will land below the rating while plain correspondence can meet or beat it.

Is this black cartridge made only for the IMC2000 in the listing title?

No. The listing carries one model name, but this 842307 black cartridge belongs to the whole Ricoh IM C2000 and IM C2500 color MFP platform, and every machine in that family takes the same black cartridge. If your printer is part of that platform, this is the correct cartridge for it no matter which model name the listing shows.

How can I tell the cartridge is genuinely running low?

Watch for print getting lighter or uneven, especially down one side of the page, along with the machine's own low-toner warning. Removing the cartridge and rocking it gently side to side can redistribute the remaining toner for a short run of extra pages, but treat that as a bridge to a replacement, not a fix.

What happens if this cartridge turns out to be faulty?

It is backed by a one-year warranty, and returns stay free for a full year after purchase. The details live on our shipping and returns page, and the support team is on hand Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
