ECOSYS P3055dn
For floors where the printer rarely gets a quiet moment, the ECOSYS P3055dn is Kyocera's departmental answer in the 3045-3060 range: higher throughput than its smaller siblings, built-in duplex and network support, and a long-life drum that keeps toner as the only routine purchase. North American stock carries this model's cartridge under its own number, the TK3182, from the same TK-3160 series that feeds the whole family.
Think of the P3055dn as the printer a department graduates to when output is measured in reams. It is not a desktop unit stretched past its limits; it is a shared machine meant to sit at the center of a busy floor, turning out two-sided documents all day while the supply closet holds exactly one cartridge type. That simplicity is the ECOSYS bargain — enterprise running gear, office-supply ordering.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Since every listing here is the same TK3182 cartridge, choose by consumption. A department that changes toner a few times a year is well served by the single or the 2 pack, which keeps a spare ready without tying up shelf space. Floors that print continuously should run the arithmetic the other way: the 5 and 10 packs cut the cost per cartridge and mean the supply closet gets restocked on a schedule instead of in a panic. For context, the wider TK-3160 series spans standard, high-yield and extra-high-yield capacities for the different models in this family; the TK3182 is the number assigned to the P3055dn, so it is the only code you need to reorder.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A compatible TK3182 arrives with its recognition chip fitted, and the P3055dn reads cartridge levels across the network, so whoever manages supplies can see a change coming days ahead. When you install a fresh cartridge, slide it in until it seats with a click and let the printer finish its brief warm-up before sending a long job. Toner that has sat for months benefits from a gentle side-to-side rock before installation to loosen the powder evenly. As with any laser cartridge, keep spares sealed, flat and away from radiators and sunny windowsills.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the P3055dn cartridge carry a different number from the TK-3160 series name?
The TK-3160 name describes the cartridge family across the range. Kyocera assigns model-level numbers for North American stock, and for the P3055dn that number is TK3182 — the cartridge to order for this printer.
Which toner fits the ECOSYS P3055dn?
The TK3182 black cartridge, sold here as a single and in 2, 3, 5 and 10 packs.
Will I also need to buy a drum unit?
No. The long-life drum is part of the printer itself on this ECOSYS model; toner is the only consumable on the regular order list.
What protection do I get with a compatible cartridge?
Our compatible cartridges are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
