Aficio MP C300SR
The MP C300SR is Ricoh's workgroup-configured take on the compact MP C300 color multifunction platform, adding finishing-friendly trim to the same proven engine. Underneath the different configuration, the appetite is identical: black 841295, cyan 841296, magenta 841297 and yellow 841298 — one cartridge per color, rated up to 8,300 pages in black and 10,000 in each color.
The SR configuration points this machine at a group rather than a desk: several people printing, copying and finishing work through one shared unit. Shared machines forgive nothing in supply planning, because the person who finds the empty cartridge is never the person who was warned about it — the practical answer is a visible spare set and a standing reorder habit, both of which the pack range here is built around.

Which cartridge should you buy?
For a workgroup machine, treat the 4-piece set as the emergency reserve: when any color dies mid-week, the replacement is already in the building. Routine restocking then follows the panel — singles for whichever color dips, with the black cartridge (the set's hardest worker, and its lowest-rated at 8,300 pages) also available in 2, 3 and 5-packs for the supply shelf. The 3 and 6-piece color sets cover a run of color-heavy finishing work without disturbing a healthy black. Everything listed is a compatible cartridge with a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, so the reserve set carries no risk if it sits a while before use.
Chip, toner and everyday use
On a shared MFP, the low-toner warning and the empty warning can reach different people days apart, so act on the first one: the chip in each cartridge reports levels to the panel, and a cartridge changed at 'low' never interrupts anyone's job. Fit replacements by matching the color label on the cartridge to the slot, and press until seated — most recognition complaints trace back to a cartridge resting half-home. Store the reserve set together, sealed and flat, so any team member can find the right color quickly. Yields are rated at 5% coverage; finished documents with heavy color will move faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MP C300SR use the same toner as the MP C300?
Yes — the SR is a configuration of the same platform, and the cartridges are identical: black 841295, cyan 841296, magenta 841297 and yellow 841298.
Which number belongs to which color?
Black is 841295, cyan 841296, magenta 841297 and yellow 841298. The numbers run in that order across the family, which makes reordering from the panel message straightforward.
Singles or sets — what suits a shared workgroup printer?
Both, in different roles: singles for routine top-ups of the color that fades, and a 4-piece set held back as a complete reserve so a dead cartridge never stops the group.
How many pages should each cartridge deliver?
Up to 8,300 pages from black and up to 10,000 from each color, measured at 5% coverage. Dense color documents and copies will land below those figures.
