Frequently Asked Questions
How much printing does $28.81 actually buy on an Aficio 2015?
One Type 1170D cartridge is rated at 7,000 pages, and at $28.81 that works out to roughly 0.41¢ per page. In real terms: an office copying and printing about 300 pages a month gets close to two years from a single cartridge, 750 pages a month stretches to around nine months, and even 1,500 pages a month still means roughly four to five months between changes. For a black-and-white copier that was paid off years ago, that is about as cheap as everyday office printing gets.
The toner warning is showing but copies still look good — how long can I keep going?
Longer than the warning suggests. The low-toner message is an early estimate, not an empty tank, and a few hundred decent pages usually remain after it first appears. Use that window to order rather than panic: keep printing until the output itself starts to fade, then take the cartridge out and rock it gently from side to side to redistribute the toner for a short extension. Treat that extra run as borrowed time, though — once fading returns, the cartridge has finished its 7,000 pages.
Which Aficio copiers take the Type 1170D?
This cartridge is the Type 1170D supply for Ricoh Aficio 2015, 2018 and 2020. The surest check is the type number on the cartridge you are taking out, or on the supply label inside the front cover — if it reads Type 1170D, this is your replacement. Several Aficio copiers of this generation share a very similar cabinet, so go by the type number rather than by how the machine looks from the front.
One edge of the page has started streaking — is the cartridge to blame?
Quite possibly. A cartridge nearing the end of its rated life often streaks down one side before it fades evenly across the page. The simple test is a swap: if a fresh cartridge clears the streaks, the old one was finished. If the marks stay in exactly the same place with a new cartridge fitted, the cause is more likely a dirty exposure glass or a drum issue — and our support team can talk you through telling the two apart, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
What cover do I get if this cartridge disappoints?
Every cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns. If it leaks, streaks from the start, or gives up well short of 7,000 pages, it is replaced or refunded, and returning it costs you nothing — the full terms are on our shipping & returns page. You are not stuck arguing about a faulty cartridge a month after it arrives.
We print in bursts, then nothing for weeks — does sitting idle harm the cartridge?
No. Toner is a dry powder, so there is nothing to dry out the way liquid ink does, and an installed cartridge tolerates quiet weeks without any loss of quality when the machine wakes up again. Keep the copier away from damp and direct heat, and the cartridge will simply wait. A sealed spare on a shelf keeps even better, which is why many owners of these older Aficios order ahead rather than waiting for a stoppage.
