Kyocera FS-C8520MFP & FS-C8525MFP Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for the Kyocera FS-C8520MFP and FS-C8525MFP, both of which use the Kyocera TK-899 toner series. Built for demanding office workloads, these A3 colour multifunction printers use separate black, cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges to produce sharp text and vivid graphics. Workplaces handling high document volumes may use black toner faster than the colour cartridges, so keeping spare black toner or a complete toner set available can help minimise printing interruptions. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for these printer models since Oct 2012 and is rated 4.8 by customers on Google.

Pro Tip
Always keep a spare black toner cartridge on hand before running completely dry, as office environments tend to consume black toner at double the rate of individual colour supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the black toner cartridge need replacing more frequently than the colour cartridges in an office environment?
Standard corporate documentation relies predominantly on monochrome text, causing the black TK-899K unit to deplete at roughly twice the rate of the cyan, magenta, and yellow colour supplies.
Will installing compatible TK-899 cartridges affect the print resolution on corporate documents?
No, high-grade compatible toners match the particle size and melting point specifications of genuine cartridges, delivering sharp text and consistent hues for professional presentations.
How should spare toner cartridges be stored prior to installation?
Keep unopened toner boxes stored flat in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to maintain powder consistency and prevent clumping inside the cartridge hopper.
