Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answer first: is $43.80 a fair price for a 5,000-page cartridge?

At roughly 0.88 cents per page, this is not the cheapest black toner we sell, and we will not pretend otherwise. The SP 3400N is an older, low-volume machine, and cartridges for printers like it cost more per page than toner for current high-volume models. What the $43.80 buys is a cartridge rated for a full 5,000 pages that keeps a working printer in service — far cheaper than replacing the machine because toner got hard to find.

How long will 5,000 pages actually last in my office?

It depends entirely on your monthly volume. At about 200 pages a month, one cartridge covers roughly two years of printing. At 500 pages a month, expect around ten months. A busier desk printing 1,000 pages a month will go through it in about five months. The 5,000-page rating assumes the standard 5% page coverage, so heavy full-page documents will shorten those estimates.

My printer says the toner is low — is the cartridge really empty?

Often, not yet. Low-toner warnings appear well before the cartridge is spent. Take it out, rock it gently side to side a few times to redistribute the toner inside, and put it back. If the print comes out even and dark again, keep printing. Replace it when pages turn visibly faded or streaky even after a shake — that is the honest end of a cartridge.

Should I buy this single cartridge or jump straight to a multi-pack?

If your SP 3400N prints a few hundred pages a month, this single is the sensible buy: one cartridge already lasts most of a year or more, and your cash is not sitting on a shelf in toner form. If the machine is shared by several people or prints daily invoices and reports, a multi-pack lowers your cost per cartridge. Buy the size that matches the printer you actually have, not the one you might have someday.

Will this cartridge work in my printer?

This cartridge is made for the Ricoh Aficio SP 3400N and replaces the Ricoh 406465 cartridge. Before ordering, check the cartridge number shown on your current toner or in your printer's supply information — if it reads 406465, this is the correct match. If your machine is a different SP model, check its cartridge number first, since the SP family uses several look-alike cartridges that are not interchangeable.

What protection do I get if something goes wrong with it?

Every cartridge we sell is covered by a one-year warranty and one-year free returns, so a defective cartridge is replaced or refunded rather than argued about. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
