Kyocera TK-5224 & TK-5234 Toner Cartridges
Kyocera TK-5224 and TK-5234 toner cartridges cover four ECOSYS printers - the P5021cdn, P5021cdw, M5521cdn and M5521cdw - and are sold as individual colours: TK-5224K, TK-5224C, TK-5224M and TK-5224Y at standard yield, and TK-5234K, TK-5234C, TK-5234M and TK-5234Y at high yield. Both series fit the same machines; the difference is purely in how far each cartridge goes before you need to reorder. Compatible and genuine singles, 4-packs, 5-packs, 8-packs and 10-packs are available.
The TK-5224 series is standard yield: the black (TK-5224K) prints up to 1,200 pages, and the cyan, magenta and yellow (TK-5224C, TK-5224M, TK-5224Y) each reach 1,200 pages. Step up to the TK-5234 high-yield series and the black (TK-5234K) extends to 2,600 pages - more than double - while the colour cartridges (TK-5234C, TK-5234M, TK-5234Y) each reach 2,200 pages. Both series share the same four ECOSYS printers: the P5021cdn, P5021cdw, M5521cdn and M5521cdw, so you can mix tiers across a single machine without issue - run the TK-5234K black for volume and TK-5224 colours if you print colour infrequently. The yield gap on black is the sharpest reason to weigh up cost-per-page before defaulting to the standard tier.
Singles and 4-pack, 5-pack, 8-pack and 10-pack bundles are available in both compatible and genuine options.

General FAQ
Which printers use Kyocera TK-5224 and TK-5234 toner cartridges?
Both the TK-5224 and TK-5234 series are designed for four Kyocera ECOSYS models: the P5021cdn, P5021cdw, M5521cdn and M5521cdw. All four printers accept either yield tier, so you can choose based on your print volume rather than your specific model.
What is the yield difference between TK-5224 and TK-5234, and does it affect which tier I should buy?
The TK-5224 is standard yield: 1,200 pages for all four colours. The TK-5234 is high yield: 2,600 pages for black and 2,200 pages for each colour. If you print more than a few hundred pages a month, the TK-5234 typically delivers a lower cost-per-page, particularly on black. For occasional printing, the TK-5224 starter cost may suit better.
Can I mix TK-5224 and TK-5234 cartridges in the same printer at the same time?
Yes. Because both series are designed for the same ECOSYS P5021 and M5521 models, you can run a TK-5234K black alongside TK-5224 colour cartridges (or vice versa) simultaneously. Your printer will track each colour's level independently. This is useful if your black usage is high but colour printing is infrequent.
