Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Premium Quality" mean on this set — and does the name add anything to the price?

It is the name of this listing line, and it adds nothing to the price. This Premium set is $307.80, which is exactly the same price as the standard TK-8327 four-cartridge set — you are not paying extra for the word "Premium" on the box. What arrives is the same four cartridges, under the same part numbers, with the same page ratings.

Are the cartridges inside a Premium set rated higher than the standard ones?

No, and we would rather say so plainly than let the name imply it. The black cartridge (1T02NP0US0, TK-8327K) is rated at 12,000 pages and the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges (1T02NPCUS0, 1T02NPBUS0, 1T02NPAUS0) are rated at 18,000 pages each — identical figures to the standard set, because the cartridges themselves are the same.

Which four part numbers should I check against my printer?

The set covers all four slots: black 1T02NP0US0, cyan 1T02NPCUS0, magenta 1T02NPBUS0 and yellow 1T02NPAUS0. If the cartridge you are pulling out carries any one of those codes, this set replaces it and its three partners in the same box.

Does the Premium name change the cover I get in any way?

No — the name changes neither the cover nor the returns terms, in either direction. These cartridges carry a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns under the same shipping & returns policy as every other cartridge we sell, and a faulty unit is sorted out on its own rather than as a whole set.

Can I mix cartridges from this set with ones from a standard set in the same machine?

Yes. Because the part numbers and ratings are the same, a cartridge from this Premium set and one from the standard set are interchangeable slot by slot. Plenty of offices end up with one of each on the shelf, and the printer cannot tell them apart.

So which of the two listings should I actually order?

Whichever is in front of you. At $307.80 for the same four cartridges — black rated at 12,000 pages and each color at 18,000 — there is no wrong choice between them, and no reason to wait for one listing over the other if your TASKalfa 2551ci is sitting empty today.

When the set arrives, how do I check I have the right four cartridges before opening anything?

Read the part number on each cartridge label while everything is still sealed, and match the four codes one by one: 1T02NP0US0 for black, 1T02NPCUS0 for cyan, 1T02NPBUS0 for magenta and 1T02NPAUS0 for yellow. The three color codes differ only in the letter before US0, so read them letter by letter rather than glancing at the TK-8327 family name. If all four match the codes coming out of your machine, the set is confirmed before a single seal is broken.

Does the whole Premium set have to go into the printer on the same day?

No. Fit only the cartridge the TASKalfa 2551ci is actually asking for and leave the other three sealed in the box. Slots empty one at a time and on their own schedules, so a set is normally drawn down over months, not installed in one session. Keeping the unneeded cartridges sealed protects them far better than fitting them early, and each one simply waits at full rating until its own slot calls for it.

What does this set work out to per printed page?

The arithmetic is straightforward from the figures on this listing. The set costs $307.80 and carries 12,000 rated pages in the black cartridge plus 18,000 in each of the three colors, which is 66,000 rated pages in total — roughly 0.47 cents per page across the whole set at standard coverage. Heavy color pages will pull the real figure up and plain text will push it down, but that blended number is a fair planning figure for a mixed office workload.

What should I do with the four empty cartridges as they come out?

Keep each empty until its replacement has printed a few clean pages, so the old unit is still on hand if a question comes up about the swap. After that, spent cartridges can go out through your local office-supplies or electronics recycling route, or a municipal recycling program that accepts toner cartridges. Do not put them in general landfill waste if a recycling option exists locally, and there is no need to stockpile empties once the new set has proven itself.
