Ricoh Savin 816 Toner Cartridges (Compatible)

Savin 816

The Savin 816 is the compact end of the Ricoh family: a digital multifunction system in the 15-16 ppm class, sized for small offices that need copier-based copying and printing without giving up floor space. It runs on one black cartridge only, the 841718, rated for up to 7,000 pages. That long cartridge life suits a small machine - it can sit in a corner or a satellite office and work for weeks between toner changes.

Satellite offices, branch counters and departments with limited floor space are where the 816 earns its keep. It was never meant to anchor a copy room; it covers the daily copying and printing of a handful of people, close to where they sit. Because the cartridge lasts around 7,000 pages, nobody has to think about toner often, and a single spare on the shelf is usually all the backup a small site needs.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Every option on this page is the same 841718 black cartridge; the only decision is how many to take at once. A single cartridge is the sensible buy for a quiet satellite site, where 7,000 pages can stretch across months. Busier small offices usually do better with a 2-pack or 4-pack: the price per cartridge drops, and the machine never waits on a delivery mid-job. There is no color decision to make - the 816 is a black-and-white system, and there is no separate high-yield version of this cartridge to hunt for. If your 816 shares an office with sibling models from the list below, one multipack can cover several machines at once.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The 841718 cartridges on this page carry a working chip, so the 816 recognizes the cartridge and reports toner levels normally. Before installing, rock the new cartridge gently from side to side a few times to loosen the toner, then slide it in until it seats firmly. Page yields are measured at about 5 percent page coverage, so dense documents will finish a cartridge sooner than light memos. Store spares flat, sealed in their bags, away from direct sunlight and heat. When prints start to fade evenly, that is the cartridge asking to be replaced - a gentle shake can stretch a few more pages while the spare is on its way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Savin 816 use?

The 816 takes the black 841718 cartridge, the Type 1170D toner, rated for up to 7,000 pages. Singles, 2-packs and 4-packs of that same cartridge are listed in the table above.

Is the Savin 816 a color machine?

No. The 816 is a black-and-white digital system, so there is only ever one cartridge to order and no color set to keep track of.

Does the same cartridge fit other Savin, Lanier or Gestetner models?

Yes. The 841718 is shared across a wide Ricoh-built family sold under the Savin, Lanier, Gestetner and Aficio names. The complete list is in the More printers section below, so a spare bought for the 816 can also serve those machines.
