Xpress C1860FW
The Xpress C1860FW is the fully-loaded C1860 — fax and wireless on the fast color engine. The most capable variant in the CLT-504S family gets the heaviest use, and the heaviest use is where four compatible cartridges (CLT-K504S/C504S/M504S/Y504S) out-save four OEM ones by the widest margin. Our set fits the C1860FW.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to replace all four toner cartridges in the Xpress C1860FW at the same time?
No. The Xpress C1860FW is a color all-in-one with fax, wireless and NFC tap-to-print that lays down toner in four separate CMYK channels, so each cartridge — CLT-K504S black, CLT-C504S cyan, CLT-M504S magenta and CLT-Y504S yellow — is tracked and replaced independently. Black almost always empties first on text documents, while the three color cartridges drain together on graphics and photos. Replace only what the printer flags; buy a full set only when several colors are low at once.
Why do color prints from my Xpress C1860FW look washed out even though the cartridges are not empty?
Check that toner-save or draft mode is not stuck on in the driver, because the Xpress C1860FW will keep printing pale pages long after you forget enabling it. If density is set normally, pull the weakest cartridge, rock it gently side to side to redistribute the toner, and reseat it — that often restores rich color for a while. When all four colors fade together, the transfer belt or another imaging part is the likelier culprit than any single CLT-504S cartridge.
Can the Xpress C1860FW keep printing in black if one color cartridge runs out?
No — the Xpress C1860FW requires all four CLT-504S cartridges installed and recognized before it will print anything, including a plain black-text page. An empty CLT-C504S, CLT-M504S or CLT-Y504S halts the printer until replaced, not bypassed. If your workload is mostly monochrome, keep the driver default on grayscale so the color cartridges idle nearly full while black does the work.
