Frequently Asked Questions

Does the "Premium Quality" in the name make this set cost more?

No — and we would rather say that plainly than dress it up. This Premium Quality set is priced at $140.04, exactly the same as our standard TK-5142 four-color set. The name on the listing does not add a cent to what you pay at checkout.

So what do I actually receive for that price?

The same four cartridges the TK-5142 family always consists of: black 1T02NR0US0 (TK-5142K), cyan 1T02NRCUS0 (TK-5142C), magenta 1T02NRBUS0 (TK-5142M) and yellow 1T02NRAUS0 (TK-5142Y), one of each, for the M6530cdn.

Are the page yields any higher on this set?

They are not, and no higher figure should be read into the name. The ratings are the family ratings: 7,000 pages for the black cartridge and 5,000 pages for each of the three colors, measured the same way as on every other TK-5142 listing we sell.

How do I confirm these are the right codes for my machine?

Compare the four codes in the question above with the labels on the cartridges currently in the printer. TK-5142K, TK-5142C, TK-5142M and TK-5142Y are the set the M6530cdn asks for by name on its toner display; if the old units carry those codes, these are their replacements.

Does the Premium label change the warranty or returns in either direction?

Neither. The cover is the same as on the standard set: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with support available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. The label neither extends nor trims what you are entitled to.

Given all that, which of the two sets should I order?

Honestly, either — the cartridges, the codes, the yields and the $140.04 price are the same on both listings. Order whichever one you are looking at; what arrives at your door will be the same four TK-5142 cartridges.

How should the four cartridges be stored if the set is bought ahead of need?

Keep the set together, cartons flat and sealed, in an indoor cupboard at ordinary room temperature away from radiators, damp and direct sunlight. Storing the four as one group matters: when the M6530cdn finally calls for a refresh, the complete TK-5142 set is in one place rather than scattered across shelves bought at different times.

If one color keeps running out faster than the others, must we buy another set?

No. The four cartridges are also sold individually, so a color that empties early — often the one your documents lean on hardest — can be replaced on its own while the other three from this set keep working. The set is the right purchase when several slots are low together; singles are the economical top-up in between full refreshes.

Does it matter that our documents are mostly black text with a color logo?

It explains your consumption pattern. The black TK-5142K, rated at 7,000 pages, does nearly all the work on such pages, while the colors — 5,000 pages each — are drawn down slowly by the logo and occasional chart. Expect black to empty well before the colors, and do not read a long-lived cyan or yellow as a problem; it is the workload, not the cartridge.

What should we do with the old cartridges after fitting this set?

Box each empty in the packaging its replacement came out of and keep the four together for your office's recycling or disposal route. If one of the new units misbehaves early, hold onto the corresponding old cartridge until the replacement is printing cleanly — having the spent unit on hand makes any conversation with support, available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, straightforward.
