Okidata C5500 Toner | Compatible 43381904 Cartridges

C5500

From OKI's Type C8 generation, the C5500 is a color laser printer built for offices producing everyday color documents. Its standard cartridges are the 43381900 series — black 43381904 with cyan 43381903, magenta 43381902 and yellow 43381901, rated at 2,000 pages — while the 5,000-page high-capacity line carries its own numbers: 43324404 black, 43324403 cyan, 43324402 magenta and 43324401 yellow, each stocked here as a standalone cartridge.

Everyday color is the C5500's brief: the invoice run, the weekly report with its charts, handouts for the meeting. Nothing about that workload is extreme, which is why the two-tier cartridge system suits it — standard fills for quiet months, high-capacity units when a project lands. The compatible high-capacity cartridges on this page are where the running-cost argument is won, since a 5,000-page unit spreads its price over two and a half times the output of the 2,000-page standard.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Choose by volume, and be honest about it. If the C5500 prints color most days, the 5,000-page 4332440x cartridges are the economical default — fewer purchases, fewer interruptions, and a clearly lower cost per page than the 2,000-page standard 4338190x line. A machine that wakes up twice a month for a color document can stay on standard cartridges without waste. The sets listed under the table suit offices that prefer to refresh all four positions together at a planned interval. As always with a four-cartridge machine, day-to-day replacements should be single: change the color that is empty and leave the rest working.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The C5500 identifies each cartridge by its chip, and a compatible cartridge carrying the correct chip is accepted without messages or menus to fight through. Yield numbers are quoted at 5% coverage — ordinary office documents sit near that figure, which makes these ratings more predictive for this printer than for most. Keep cartridges in their bags until the day they are fitted; toner that has sat open in a dusty office can pick up moisture. If output fades evenly across the page, rock the cartridge gently a few times before concluding it is empty — toner settles toward one end in storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner fits the Oki C5500?

Two tiers of the same Type C8 family: the standard 43381900 series (black 43381904, cyan 43381903, magenta 43381902, yellow 43381901) at 2,000 pages, and the high-capacity 43324400 series — 43324404 black, 43324403 cyan, 43324402 magenta, 43324401 yellow — at 5,000 pages.

Are the 4332440x cartridges interchangeable with the 4338190x?

Yes. Both series fit the same four slots; the 4332440x units simply hold more toner. You can even mix tiers — a high-capacity black beside standard colors is fine.
