Ricoh Savin 3515 Toner Cartridges (Compatible)

Savin 3515

The Savin 3515 is a Ricoh Aficio 1515 in Savin dress: a 15-page-per-minute black-and-white multifunction system sold through Savin dealers. Its badge is the only exotic thing about it, because the cartridge is pure Ricoh family stock — referenced under two part numbers, 888260 and 841718, each rated for up to 7,000 pages, and both describing the same black supply.

Savin dealers supported the 3515 for years, and owners learned the useful truth early: the Savin badge never changed what mattered. Under the cover sits a proven Ricoh engine whose cartridge was shared across a wide family of Ricoh, Savin, Lanier and Gestetner machines, so toner for a 3515 never became a scavenger hunt — it is the same supply half the industry was already stocking.

Which cartridge should you buy?

The shelf for this model shows two product lines, and the first thing to know is that they are one cartridge: the 3515-named listings carry the 841718 number, the other line carries 888260, and either fits and runs identically. Buy whichever line you prefer, in the quantity your machine's appetite suggests. A single suits a lightly used 3515; the 2-pack is the comfortable default for a shared departmental machine; and the 4-pack serves offices whose supply shelf also feeds the sibling models below. Per-cartridge cost drops as packs grow, and since both lines are stocked as singles, 2-packs and 4-packs, there is no quantity penalty for choosing one number over the other.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Both cartridge lines carry the chip the 3515 expects, so the machine recognizes the supply and tracks its level as normal. Fitting one is a front-access swap of about a minute, with no settings to change afterward. When output fades toward the end of a cartridge's life, rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner and usually restores clean pages long enough for the next order to arrive. Keep the spare boxed, flat and cool — a shelf in the supply cupboard, not the top of the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Savin 3515 use?

The black cartridge Ricoh references as 888260 and as 841718 — two numbers for the same supply, each rated for up to 7,000 pages. Both lines are stocked on this page.

Are 888260 and 841718 really interchangeable?

Yes. Ricoh lists the cartridge under both part numbers, and the 3515 runs on either. Pick the line you already stock, or whichever pack size suits — the cartridge that arrives is the same.

Does this cartridge fit other Savin models?

It does — the same supply fits the Savin 816, Savin 917 and Savin 920, along with the Lanier and Gestetner equivalents in the full list below.

What pack options are there?

Both part-number lines come as singles, 2-packs and 4-packs. Larger packs lower the price per cartridge, and a 2-pack is the usual choice for a shared 15 ppm machine.
