Frequently Asked Questions

This listing says "Premium Quality" — does that name add anything to the price?

No, and it is worth saying plainly: this Premium set is priced at $402.05, exactly the same as the standard TK-8507 set listing. The name on the listing does not carry a surcharge. You get the same four cartridges — black 1T02LC0US0 (TK-8507K), cyan 1T02LCAUS0 (TK-8507C), magenta 1T02LCBUS0 (TK-8507M) and yellow 1T02LCCUS0 (TK-8507Y) — at the same money.

Does "Premium" mean these cartridges are rated for more pages?

No. The ratings are the family ratings, identical across both listings: the black cartridge is rated at 30,000 pages and each color cartridge at 20,000 pages, at standard office coverage. If a listing anywhere suggests the word Premium buys extra yield on this family, treat that as marketing language, not a specification.

So what, honestly, is the difference between this set and the standard one?

On everything that can be checked — part numbers, page ratings and price — the two listings match. Both are one-of-each sets for the TASKalfa 4550ci, TASKalfa 4551ci and TASKalfa 5550ci. Order whichever listing you land on; the cartridges that arrive cover the same four slots with the same codes.

Does the Premium label change the warranty or returns terms?

It changes nothing in either direction. This set carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, the same as the standard listing, under our shipping & returns policy. A faulty unit from the set is handled individually — you never have to return all four cartridges to claim on one.

Can I fit just one cartridge from the set and keep the rest sealed?

Yes. Each cartridge occupies its own slot and is replaced on its own schedule. Swap the color that has run out and leave the remaining cartridges in their sealed bags in a cool, dry cupboard; they will be ready months later when their slot calls for them.

How can I be sure these codes match my machine before I order?

Compare the code on the cartridge you are pulling out with the four on this listing — 1T02LC0US0, 1T02LCAUS0, 1T02LCBUS0, 1T02LCCUS0. One match is enough to confirm the family. If the code on your old cartridge is worn, the model name on the printer's front panel settles it instead.

Can one of these sets serve more than one of the listed machines?

Yes, in the practical sense that the four codes — 1T02LC0US0, 1T02LCAUS0, 1T02LCBUS0 and 1T02LCCUS0 — are the TK-8507 family for the TASKalfa 4550ci, 4551ci and 5550ci alike. An office running two of those models can hold this set as shared stock and fit each cartridge into whichever machine asks for it first. The cartridges do not care which of the three fronts they sit behind; matching the code to the slot is the only rule.

How do I keep track of which cartridge went into which machine, and when?

Keep a simple note — a label on the box or a line in a shared document — recording the date, the color fitted and the machine it went into. With ratings of 30,000 pages for black and 20,000 for each color, these cartridges live in a machine for a long stretch, and memory is unreliable over those spans. A dated note per slot turns the next reorder from guesswork into a quick look at how long the last one lasted.

What does this set cost per rated page?

Adding the ratings together gives 90,000 pages — 30,000 from the black and 20,000 from each of the three colors. At the $402.05 set price, that is roughly 0.45 cents per page at standard office coverage. Real results move with your document mix: text-heavy departments will see the black dominate the consumption, color-heavy ones will draw the colors down faster, but the blended figure is a sound basis for comparing this set against buying cartridges individually.

What happens to the cartridges I remove as this set is used up?

Keep each removed cartridge until the new one in its slot has printed a few pages you are satisfied with, so there is something to compare against if output looks off. After that, send empties out through a local toner recycling route or office-supplies collection point rather than general waste where a recycling option exists. The slots will empty months apart, so expect the empties to leave one at a time rather than together.
