Aficio MP C4504
The Ricoh Aficio MP C4504 is the generational refresh of the C4503 platform, and the refresh was kind to supply buyers: the 45-ppm-class color engine carries over, and the big toner set comes with it unchanged. Black 841849 stretches to 33,000 pages; yellow 841850, magenta 841851 and cyan 841852 each stretch to 22,500 pages. Compatible toner for the MP C4504 is carried here in singles, full color sets and value multi-packs.
An upgrade that does not orphan your supply shelf is a rare thing, and that is the C4504's quiet selling point. Offices moving up from the C4503 keep ordering the same four numbers on day one, and floors that run both generations side by side stock a single cartridge family for the pair. The machine is newer; the ordering routine does not change at all.

Which cartridge should you buy?
If your office stocked toner for a C4503, the plan transfers directly. The 841849 black — up to 33,000 pages — anchors the shelf, singly or in the 2-, 3- and 5-packs for higher volume. Colors at up to 22,500 pages each are replaced individually as they run down. When several slots age together, the four-color set does the whole machine in one order; the three-color set is the tidy choice right after a black change, and the five-, six- and eight-piece bundles cover mixed C4503/C4504 floors that restock in one pass.
Chip, toner and everyday use
At this duty level, the cheapest insurance is one spare black per machine on the shelf, because the cartridge's 33,000-page rating means a stock-out is rare but long-awaited when it finally lands. Treat the ratings as 5%-coverage estimates — dense color work shortens them in the real world. A cartridge showing light streaks near the end of its life often just needs its toner redistributed with a gentle rock before you write it off.
