Pro Tip
Ricoh IM C3000 and IM C3500 series printers monitor colour toner depletion independently. Keep a spare set of Cyan (842262), Magenta (842261), and Yellow (842260) on hand together, as high-coverage graphics cause colour toners to empty at comparable rates despite printing different document elements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Black 842259 toner have a higher page yield than the colour toners?
The Black 842259 toner yields 31,000 pages compared to 19,000 pages for the Cyan (842262), Magenta (842261), and Yellow (842260) toners. This higher capacity matches corporate document workflows, where black text accounts for the majority of daily printing.
Can I replace individual Ricoh toners as they run out?
Yes, each cartridge operates independently. The printer tracks remaining toner in every cartridge via microchips, allowing you to replace only the specific depleted colour without disturbing the remaining toners.
Are Ricoh 842259 to 842262 cartridges compatible with both IM C3000 and IM C3500 printers?
Yes, these toner cartridges share the exact physical form factor and internal chip protocols required by both the Ricoh IM C3000 and IM C3500 multifunction laser printers.
Is the Black toner cartridge number written as 842259 or Ricoh 842259?
Both refer to the same part. The official manufacturer part number is 842259, which identifies the genuine Ricoh Black high-capacity toner cartridge across office supply catalogues.
