To prevent unexpected downtime during large print jobs, order a full 4-pack bundle upfront and maintain one spare TK-5394K on site. If you receive a faulty or incorrect item, return it effortlessly under our returns policy.

Pro Tip
When replacing a TK-5394 cartridge, never force the toner locking lever; gently slide the cartridge into place until it clicks securely to avoid damaging the internal drive gear mechanism of your Ecosys PA4500cx printer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the TK-5394 black toner cartridge have a higher page yield than the colour cartridges?
Black toner is consumed faster due to text-heavy administrative printing, so Kyocera engineered the TK-5394K with an 18,000-page capacity to align its physical replacement interval more closely with the 13,000-page colour cartridges.
Can I replace individual colour cartridges, or do I need to replace all TK-5394 cartridges together?
You can replace each TK-5394 cartridge independently as it runs out. The Ecosys PA4500cx monitors individual toner levels separately, allowing you to run each cyan, magenta, yellow, or black cartridge until fully depleted.
Will unused TK-5394 toner cartridges degrade if kept in storage?
Dry toner powder does not dry out like liquid ink, giving genuine TK-5394 cartridges an unopened shelf life of up to 24 months when stored flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
