MC890
The Okidata MC890 is a wide-format color multifunction printer aimed at offices and print shops that need tabloid-size output alongside everyday document work. It shares the OKI Type C17 cartridge family (44469801 black, 44469701–03 color) with the C510/C530 engine line. Because it is discontinued, compatible MC890 cartridges are the sensible path to keeping this large-format MFP productive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What toner does the Oki MC890 use?
The MC890 uses the 44469701 black, 44469702 cyan, 44469703 magenta and 44469801 yellow cartridges. As a color multifunction unit it draws on the same toner whether it is printing, copying or printing received faxes.
Does copying on the MC890 use more toner than printing?
Roughly the same — a color copy consumes the 44469702, 44469703 and 44469801 cartridges at about the same rate as printing the equivalent color page. The difference is behavioral: people tend to copy in color by default, so check that the copy default is set to black-and-white if most copies are documents.
Can the MC890 scan documents without using any toner?
Yes. Scanning to email, network folder or USB uses no toner at all — only printing and copying consume the 44469701–44469801 cartridges. A scan-heavy office can therefore run this multifunction machine with very low consumable costs.
