Frequently Asked Questions
This is the Premium set — why does it cost exactly the same $165.62 as the standard set?
Because on this listing it does. The Premium Quality set on this page is priced at $165.62, the same figure as our standard TK-562 four-color set, and we are not going to dress that up as a special saving or a hidden surcharge. The name on the box does not add a cent to the price here, so judge the listing on the cartridges and the codes, not on the label.
Does Premium mean these cartridges print more pages?
No, and we will say so plainly. The ratings are the same family ratings either way: black 1T02HN0US0 (TK-562K) at 12,000 pages, and cyan 1T02HNCUS0 (TK-562C), magenta 1T02HNBUS0 (TK-562M) and yellow 1T02HNAUS0 (TK-562Y) at 10,000 pages each, all at 5% coverage. Any listing that promised extra pages for the same four codes would be inventing a difference that does not exist.
Are the cartridges inside the same four units as the standard set?
Yes — one of each color, each sealed individually: TK-562K, TK-562C, TK-562M and TK-562Y. You can fit a single color the day the box arrives and keep the remaining three sealed on the shelf; nothing about the set forces a four-cartridge change in one sitting.
Does the Premium name change the warranty or returns in either direction?
No. The label buys no extra protection and takes none away. These cartridges carry the same 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns as the standard set, with the full conditions set out on our shipping & returns page.
How do I confirm this set matches my printer before ordering?
Match codes, not names. If the cartridges coming out of your machine read 1T02HN0US0, 1T02HNCUS0, 1T02HNBUS0 and 1T02HNAUS0 — or your printer is one of the FS-C5300DN / FS-C5350DN machines that take the TK-562 family — this is the matching set, whichever of the two listings you choose it from.
So which of the two listings should I actually order?
Whichever is in front of you. Both listings describe the same four codes, the same page ratings and the same $165.62 price, so there is no wrong door here. Order this one and the cartridges that arrive are the TK-562K, TK-562C, TK-562M and TK-562Y units described above.
How should the four Premium cartridges be stored until each is needed?
Sealed in their bags, flat, in a cool dry cabinet away from sunlight and radiators — heat and light age toner even through packaging. When a unit's turn finally comes after months on the shelf, rock it gently from side to side a few times before fitting so the toner inside levels out evenly. Stored that way, each cartridge in this TK-562 set is ready to deliver its full rating whenever a slot calls for it.
In a text-heavy office, how do the ratings translate into time?
Expect the two sides of the printer to live on very different calendars. The black 1T02HN0US0 carries the daily load of letters, reports and invoices toward its 12,000-page rating, while the 1T02HNCUS0, 1T02HNBUS0 and 1T02HNAUS0 colors are touched lightly by comparison. In practice, black is the cartridge you will be reordering as a single while the colors from this set are still working through their first cycle.
Should I keep the cartridges I pull out, just in case?
Briefly, yes. Hold each removed unit until its replacement has printed cleanly for a few days of ordinary work. The old cartridge confirms the code you reordered and stands as evidence of what came out of the machine if a question ever arises, and the cover on this set runs per cartridge either way. Once the new unit has proven itself, the old one can go for recycling.
What happens to the spent cartridges from this set?
Each one goes back into the packaging its replacement arrived in, which keeps toner residue contained, and from there to a toner recycling route rather than general waste. Four slots means four empties spread across the life of the set — send them together once they have accumulated, or one at a time as each slot is renewed. Nothing about the Premium name changes how an empty is handled.
