Aficio SP C811DN-T2
Two add-on trays define the Ricoh Aficio SP C811DN-T2: a bundle of the SP C811DN color printer with extra paper capacity under the same engine. Nothing about the trays touches the consumables — the T2 runs on the unchanged 820000 series, meaning black 820000 at up to 20,000 pages and cyan 820024, magenta 820016 and yellow 820008 at up to 15,000 pages apiece. Compatible T2 cartridges are listed here as singles, color sets and multipacks.
A second tray changes how an office works day to day: two different paper stocks can sit loaded at once, so nobody has to unload plain paper to run a batch of letterhead or a heavier stock, then swap it all back. That convenience pairs naturally with long-life toner — the fewer reasons anyone has to open the machine up, the smoother a shared printer's life becomes.

Which cartridge should you buy?
The T2's toner math is the plain SP C811DN math. Black goes first in almost every office, and with a rating of up to 20,000 pages the 820000 single already lasts; step up to the 2-pack, 3-pack or 5-pack when the printer feeds several people and reordering is a chore someone keeps forgetting. For colors, buy singles as each one fades — the three 15,000-page cartridges never empty in unison — and use the color sets deliberately: the 4 color set when all four slots are due, the 3 or 6 color sets for a colors-only refresh, the 5 and 8 color sets as bulk stock. Every listing is a compatible cartridge covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Installation follows the family pattern: the T2's cartridges are chipped, so once a new unit is unpacked, unsealed and pushed fully into its slot, the printer registers it and resumes level tracking. Fit cartridges one color at a time and match the color label on the cartridge to the label inside the machine — the slots are keyed by color, and forcing the wrong one helps nobody. Page ratings are quoted at about 5% coverage, so presentation-heavy work will cycle the color cartridges faster than the numbers suggest. If a nearly finished cartridge starts to print light, rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner for a final stretch of pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the T2's extra trays change which cartridges it uses?
No. Trays hold paper, not toner. The T2 takes the same 820000 black, 820024 cyan, 820016 magenta and 820008 yellow cartridges as the base SP C811DN.
Is there a single cartridge that covers all four colors?
No — this printer uses four separate cartridges, one per color. The closest convenience is the 4 color set, which bundles one of each in a single order.
How are the color yields?
Each color cartridge — cyan 820024, magenta 820016 and yellow 820008 — is rated for up to 15,000 pages, against up to 20,000 for black.
What guarantee comes with these compatible cartridges?
A 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, and each cartridge carries a working chip so the T2 recognizes it on installation.
