TASKalfa 300CI

Kyocera TASKalfa 300CI printer

The TASKalfa 300ci is the headroom model of Kyocera's entry color multifunction line: up to 30 pages per minute against the 250ci's 25, with color print, copy and scan sized for a mid-size workgroup that has outgrown entry-level color. It stays in the same TK-867 toner family as its smaller sibling (the US numbering of the TK-865 series). This page stocks the family's two color cartridges — cyan TK-867C (1T02JZCUS0) and magenta TK-867M (1T02JZBUS0), each rated at 12,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19798 — while black TK-867K (20,000 pages) and yellow TK-867Y (12,000 pages) complete the set of four.

Sharing one cartridge family across two machine sizes is a stocking gift. A single spare of each color covers both the 300ci on this page and a 250ci down the hall, so the supply shelf does not double just because the fleet did. And because each color is its own cartridge, the faster machine's heavier appetite shows up as one color emptying sooner — not as a full-set replacement. For an office standardizing on this platform, the supply routine stays exactly as simple at 30 ppm as it was at 25.

TK-867M magenta single (1T02JZBUS0) — Kyocera-numbered listing, about 12,000 pages
TK867 cyan cartridge (TK867C) — Clever Supplies listing of the same cyan cartridge
TK867 magenta cartridge (TK867M) — Clever Supplies listing of the same magenta cartridge

Which cartridge should you buy?

Both cyan listings above are the same compatible cartridge, and both magenta listings are the same compatible cartridge — one pair carries the Kyocera factory numbers, the other is the Clever Supplies line — so the choice is a preference, not a compatibility question. What matters is the color: the 300ci's panel reports each cartridge separately, and you replace only the one that is empty. Offices running the 300ci alongside a 250ci can buy for both machines from this single shelf, since the TK-867 family is identical across the two. Every cartridge listed here carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

Chip, toner and everyday use

A busier machine earns its keep between warnings, so treat the first low-color message as a prompt to check the spare shelf, not to rush a swap — the chip-based gauge leaves a margin, and a fading cartridge can be rocked gently side to side to level its toner for the remaining pages. When you do swap, seat the cartridge fully and let the TASKalfa finish its start-up calibration before sending a color-critical job. Yields are quoted per ISO/IEC 19798 at standard coverage; scan-heavy and copy-heavy months pull real numbers down. Keep spare cartridges sealed, flat and out of sunlight until the day they go in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the TASKalfa 300ci use?

The TK-867 family (US version of the TK-865): TK-867K black at about 20,000 pages and TK-867C, TK-867M and TK-867Y at about 12,000 pages each. This page stocks the cyan and magenta cartridges.

What separates the 300ci from the 250ci?

Print speed and headroom: the 300ci runs at up to 30 ppm against the 250ci's 25 ppm. Both models use the exact same TK-867 toner family, so supplies do not change with the upgrade.

Can one spare really cover two different models?

Yes. Because the 250ci and 300ci share the TK-867 family cartridge for cartridge, a spare cyan bought for one machine fits the other — that is the point of the shared platform.

How many pages does each color cartridge last?

About 12,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19798 for each color. Full-page color copies and dense graphics use toner far faster than the standard the rating is measured at.
