Frequently Asked Questions

What does "2 Black and CMY" mean — what is actually in this box?

Exactly what the name says: five cartridges. Two of them are the black cartridge, 1T02NP0US0 (TK-8327K), and the other three are one each of cyan 1T02NPCUS0 (TK-8327C), magenta 1T02NPBUS0 (TK-8327M) and yellow 1T02NPAUS0 (TK-8327Y). Think of it as the four-color set plus a spare black riding along in the same box.

Why would a set carry two blacks instead of one of everything?

Because black rarely runs out at the same pace as the colors. In an office printing contracts, invoices and letters all day, the black slot empties while the colors still have life in them. This set is built for that pattern: fit one black now, and the second black is already on your shelf when the first one finishes.

Do both black cartridges go into the printer together?

No — the TASKalfa 2551ci has a single black slot. One 1T02NP0US0 goes in; the other stays sealed as the spare. When the working cartridge runs out, the swap takes a couple of minutes and no ordering delay.

What page ratings do the five cartridges carry?

Each black cartridge is rated at 12,000 pages, and each of the three color cartridges is rated at 18,000 pages, at standard coverage. Those ratings belong to the individual cartridges, so the spare black on the shelf holds its full rating until the day it is fitted.

How do I keep track of the spare black so it does not get forgotten?

Store it flat and sealed next to the printer or in the supplies cupboard, and use the cartridges in the order they arrived. A simple habit — fitting the spare the moment the low-toner warning appears, then reordering — means the second black in this set quietly becomes your reorder trigger.

What if one cartridge out of the five turns out to be faulty?

It is handled individually. All five cartridges are covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns under our shipping & returns policy, so a problem with, say, the magenta does not mean returning the blacks and the other colors with it.

What is the cost per cartridge inside this five-cartridge set?

Divide the $378.98 set price by the five cartridges and you get about $75.80 per cartridge. That average blends two different ratings: each black 1T02NP0US0 is rated at 12,000 pages, while each color — cyan 1T02NPCUS0, magenta 1T02NPBUS0 and yellow 1T02NPAUS0 — is rated at 18,000 pages. So the per-cartridge figure is really a budgeting shortcut; the black works out dearer per page than the colors, which is normal for a family where black is the high-turnover slot.

In a text-heavy office, which cartridge in this set is likely to finish first?

Usually the first black, even though its 12,000-page rating is lower than the colors at 18,000. Letters, contracts and invoices draw almost entirely on black, while the colors are only sipped on the occasional chart or logo page. That mismatch is the whole reason the second black rides along in this box: when the first black gives out, its replacement is already in the building, and the colors are still working through their longer ratings.

What if one color runs out long before either black does?

Then just replace that one color on its own. Nothing about this set obliges you to renew all five cartridges together; each slot lives its own life. Order the single color the machine names — a TK-8327C, TK-8327M or TK-8327Y as the case may be — fit it, and leave the blacks and the remaining colors exactly where they are. The set was a buying convenience, not a fitting schedule.

Should I keep the five empty cartridges after the swaps?

Briefly, yes. Hold each empty until the cartridge that replaced it has produced some clean output, because the old unit is your evidence if a question arises about levels or fit. Once the new round is running properly, the empties can go out together through a local toner recycling route or office-supplies collection. There is no value in keeping them longer than that, and a cupboard full of spent cartridges helps nobody.

About This TK-8327 2 Black and CMY Set

This five-cartridge set pairs the complete TK-8327 color family with the way offices actually consume it: two black 1T02NP0US0 cartridges rated at 12,000 pages each, plus cyan 1T02NPCUS0, magenta 1T02NPBUS0 and yellow 1T02NPAUS0 at 18,000 pages each, all for the Kyocera TASKalfa 2551ci in the Kyocera-Mita range. At $378.98 it suits text-heavy workplaces that would rather have the next black already in the building.
