Frequently Asked Questions

Is this 5-pack simply the same cartridge five times over?

Yes. The box holds five identical black 370QB0KM (TK-18) cartridges — the same cartridge sold singly, five units in one order for $242.37. There is no variation between the units, so any one of them can go into any printer that takes this supply.

Is each cartridge sealed on its own, or is this one bulk container?

Each of the five cartridges is individually sealed in its own packaging inside the outer box. You open one at a time as a printer needs it, and the remaining units stay sealed and protected on the shelf until their turn comes.

Does the 7,200-page rating apply to each cartridge or to the whole box?

To each cartridge. Every 370QB0KM unit in this pack is rated at 7,200 pages on its own, so a printer fitted with any single one of them gets the full rated life before it needs the next.

Can I split this pack between different printer models?

Yes — that is one of its main advantages. The pack serves any machine on the TK-18 supply list, starting with the FS-1018MFP and including the FS-1020D, FS-1118MFP, KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820. A unit can go into the copier in the office today and another into a desktop printer next month, in whatever order your machines run dry.

How should I store the spare cartridges, and when should I reorder?

Keep the sealed units flat, indoors, away from heat and direct sunlight, and use them in the order you received them. A practical reorder trigger is the day you open the second-to-last cartridge: at that point a fresh 5-pack ordered in will usually arrive well before the last unit runs out.

If one cartridge out of the five turns out to be faulty, what happens?

That unit is handled on its own — you do not have to send back the whole pack. The cartridges carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, detailed on our shipping & returns page, and a defective unit is covered even if the others have already been used.

What does each cartridge in this 5-pack work out to cost?

The pack is $242.37 for five cartridges, which comes to $48.47 per cartridge in a single order. That per-unit figure is the real comparison point when you are deciding between stocking ahead and ordering one at a time: you are paying for the same 370QB0KM (TK-18) either way, so the question is simply whether holding five on the shelf suits how your machines consume them.

What is the pack's combined page pool?

Five cartridges at 7,200 pages each give you 36,000 pages of printing at standard coverage across the whole pack. That is the planning figure for a shared supply shelf: whichever of your FS- or KM-series machines draws from the stock, the pool shrinks by one cartridge at a time, and dense pages will pull the real total below the headline number while light text work lands closer to it.

How do I learn how fast my machines actually work through these?

Write the fitting date on each cartridge's box as it goes into a machine, and note which machine took it. After a couple of swaps you will know each printer's real interval — the busy one by the door versus the quiet one in the back office — and reorder timing stops being a guess. The log also shows whether one machine is consuming noticeably faster than its rated share, which is worth knowing before you blame a cartridge.

Two machines run dry in the same week — how do I use the pack?

Fit the waiting work first. Every unit in the box is the same TK-18 and fits any model on the supply list, so no machine has a claim on a particular cartridge: put one where the urgent printing is, the next into the second machine, and let the remaining sealed units carry on as shelf stock. The pack does not need to be rationed by model — only by which printer is actually stopped.
