Kyocera TASKalfa 250i 300i Toner Cartridges
Your Kyocera TASKalfa 250i and 300i printers use the TK-869 toner cartridge series. These heavy-duty A3 office multifunction printers rely on high-capacity toner to handle demanding daily document workloads. Ink Depot has supplied genuine consumables for these models since Jul 2011. In busy office environments, routine black-and-white print runs exhaust the TK-869K Black toner far more rapidly than the TK-869C, TK-869M, and TK-869Y colour cartridges. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Cartridge yields for this series are calculated using the industry-standard ISO/IEC 19798 protocol based on 5% page coverage. High-density graphics, bold logos, or continuous multi-page print runs will deplete toner faster than standard office correspondence.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TK-869K | Standard | Black | 20,000 | $0.003 |
| TK-869C | Standard | Cyan | 12,000 | $0.013 |
| TK-869M | Standard | Magenta | 12,000 | $0.013 |
| TK-869Y | Standard | Yellow | 12,000 | $0.013 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Best Strategy for Ordering Cartridges
If you print mainly text documents, keep an extra TK-869K Black toner on hand, as black replacement cycles occur much faster than colour cartridges. If you print colour presentations, monitoring individual TK-869C, TK-869M, and TK-869Y levels helps prevent unexpected downtime. All genuine products are backed by our returns policy.

Pro Tip for TK-869 Toner Management
Always order replacement TK-869 toners as soon as the low-toner warning appears on your printer control panel, rather than waiting for complete exhaustion, because A3 workgroup printing halts entirely once any single toner bottle reaches empty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Kyocera TASKalfa 250i and 300i use the exact same toner cartridges?
Yes. Both the TASKalfa 250i and TASKalfa 300i belong to the same office printer engine architecture and share the TK-869 toner series, including TK-869K Black, TK-869C Cyan, TK-869M Magenta, and TK-869Y Yellow.
Why is the TK-869K Black toner yield so much higher than the colour toners?
The TK-869K Black toner yields approximately 20,000 pages, whereas the TK-869 colour toners yield 12,000 pages each. Kyocera engineered the black cartridge with a larger physical capacity to accommodate routine monochrome business documents without requiring frequent replacements.
Can I replace individual colour toners separately as they run out?
Yes, each TK-869 colour toner functions as an independent unit. You only need to swap out the specific colour (Cyan, Magenta, or Yellow) that has depleted, minimising wasted ink and operational downtime.
How does coverage percentage affect the actual page yield of TK-869 toners?
The quoted page yield assumes standard 5% coverage per page. If your office prints heavy background charts, photographs, or full-page marketing materials, coverage can easily reach 15% to 20%, which reduces total expected printed pages proportionally.
