Oki Toner Cartridges

Oki printers have a strong presence in Australian offices. Their C-series colour laser printers and MC-series multifunction devices are popular with small businesses and workgroups that need reliable colour output at a reasonable running cost.

Ink Depot stocks both genuine Oki toner cartridges and quality compatible alternatives for the most widely used Oki colour and mono printers sold in Australia, covering compact desktop printers through to high-volume A3 multifunction devices.

We deliver Australia-wide with fast dispatch from distribution centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

Understanding Oki Toner Series

Oki LED Printing Technology

Most Oki printers use LED printing technology instead of a traditional scanning laser system.

Instead of using a moving laser beam, Oki printers use a fixed LED array that spans the width of the page. This reduces moving parts inside the printer and helps make many Oki models more compact and mechanically simpler than comparable laser printers.

From a user perspective, the output quality is effectively the same as standard laser printing, with sharp text and consistent colour reproduction.

Getting the Most from Your Oki Toner

Do not confuse the C310 and C332 toner series. The older C310/C330 series uses the 44469755–44469757 range, while the newer C332dn and MC363dn use the 46508717–46508720 set. The cartridges are physically different and are not interchangeable.

Compatible toner bundles can significantly reduce running costs. For entry-level Oki printers with smaller page yields, compatible 5-pack and 10-pack bundles can provide much lower printing costs for regular colour office printing.

Handle image drums carefully during toner replacement. Avoid touching the green drum surface with your fingers, as oils from skin can permanently affect print quality. Do not leave drums exposed to bright light for long periods.

Shake toner cartridges gently before installation. Toner powder can settle during storage and transport. A few slow horizontal shakes before installation helps distribute toner evenly.

Monitor drum life separately from toner life. On Oki colour printers, toner level and drum life are tracked independently. Installing a new toner cartridge will not fix print quality problems caused by a worn drum unit.

All page yields listed are based on ISO/IEC 19798 colour testing and ISO/IEC 19752 monochrome testing at 5% page coverage. Actual page yield varies depending on document type, colour density, and print settings.

Genuine vs Compatible Oki Toner

Genuine Oki toner cartridges are designed specifically for Oki LED printers and are generally preferred where colour consistency and predictable output quality are important.

Compatible toner cartridges are manufactured by third-party suppliers and can offer substantial savings compared to genuine toner, particularly in higher-volume office environments.

Quality compatible toner cartridges supplied by established retailers are generally tested for printer recognition, page yield, and everyday document printing performance.

Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible toner does not automatically void your printer warranty unless the cartridge itself can be shown to have caused the fault.

Delivery & Availability

Ink Depot delivers Oki toner cartridges Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and regional locations.

Both genuine and compatible options are stocked for many popular Oki C-series and MC-series printers, with many models available as individual cartridges or bundle packs.

Before ordering, confirm the exact part number printed on your installed toner cartridge, as visually similar Oki printers often use completely different cartridge systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. My Oki C310dn shows a "Toner Low" warning for cyan after only around 800 pages. The cartridge is rated for 2,000 pages. What is happening?

Page yield figures are based on 5% page coverage. If your office prints colour-heavy documents, logos, graphics, or photos, toner usage can be much higher than the ISO test standard. Oki printers also trigger low toner warnings before the cartridge is completely empty.

Is there a compatible version of the 46490612 black toner for the MC573dn?

Yes. Compatible versions of the 46490612 black toner and the matching colour cartridges are available for the C532dn, MC563dn, and MC573dn series.

2. I replaced the toner in my Oki MC363dn but still see horizontal bands across the page. Is the toner faulty?

Persistent horizontal banding after toner replacement usually indicates a worn image drum rather than a toner problem. Check the drum status through the printer menu under Supplies Status.

3. Can I use the 44469805 black toner from a C330 printer in a C332dn?

No. The C332dn uses the newer 46508720 toner cartridge, which is physically different from the older C310/C330 series cartridge system.

4. The compatible 45862844 black toner in our MC853dn shows "Toner Low" immediately after installation. What should we do?

This can happen if the cartridge chip was not recognised correctly. Power the printer off completely, remove and reseat the cartridge firmly, then restart the printer. If the issue continues, the cartridge chip may be faulty.

5. Do I need to replace all four image drums at the same time in my Oki C532dn?

No. Each drum unit is monitored separately and wears independently depending on how much of each colour is used.
