Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Compatible TK-8309 toners deliver heavy print runs at significantly lower operating costs. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more in our genuine vs compatible guide about how third-party cartridges match original specifications.

Pro Tip
Kyocera TASKalfa printers use an internal waste toner reservoir. Always ensure the waste toner bottle is replaced alongside high-volume TK-8309 toner replacements to prevent backpressure sensors from pausing large print jobs.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Kyocera TK-8309 Toner Cartridge Pack
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine TK-8309K cartridge (from $87.70) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
Watching the budget? Compatible cartridges match the fit and yield of genuine ink at a lower price, from $45.53 for a single TK-8309K cartridge or 5-pack TK-8309 for $274.12 (free delivery).
For a high-volume office, buying in bulk cuts the cost per unit further - the 10-Pack TK-8309 Compatible (from $542.65) works out cheapest per cartridge. This qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do TK-8309 toners include the drum unit?
No, Kyocera TASKalfa printers feature long-life ceramic drums rated for hundreds of thousands of prints that are separate from the TK-8309 toner containers.
Why does my TASKalfa printer run out of yellow or magenta faster than cyan?
High-volume office printing often includes company logos and red or yellow highlighted graphics, consuming yellow and magenta faster than light background blue hues.
Can I mix genuine and compatible TK-8309 toners in the same printer?
Yes, each TK-8309 cartridge slot operates independently, allowing you to replace individual colours with compatible units alongside remaining genuine cartridges without print error messages.
Is TK-8309K the same as TK8309K?
Yes, TK-8309K and TK8309K refer to the exact same black toner cartridge; the hyphen is simply a formatting variation used in different parts catalogues.
