Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Kyocera TASKalfa 2552ci, which uses the Kyocera TK-8349 toner cartridges series along with WT-8500 waste toner bottles. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Mar 2017. Managing high-volume office workflows relies on high capacity; replacing the TK-8349K black toner (20,000 pages) less frequently than TK-8349C colour cartridges prevents unexpected printing stops. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Kyocera TK-8349K black cartridges yield approximately 20,000 pages, while TK-8349 colour cartridges yield up to 12,000 pages based on 5% coverage under ISO/IEC 19798 testing standards. High-volume document environments experience predictable replacement cycles across monochrome and colour printing.

Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Third-party cartridges offer an alternative to OEM products without compromising equipment safety. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our comprehensive blog detailing performance comparisons between OEM and aftermarket toners.
Managing waste toner containers
The WT-8500 waste toner bottle collects excess toner dust generated during regular operation. Experience Tip: Avoid opening or shaking a full WT-8500 container, and ensure the cap is securely sealed before replacing it to prevent toner dust leakage into the internal mechanisms.
Best way to stock these cartridges
If your office prints predominantly text documents, purchasing individual TK-8349K black toners maintains operations efficiently. If producing full-colour presentation materials, bundle options offer balanced replenishment. Compatible options include a money back guarantee for peace of mind.

Pro Tip
Always gently shake the TK-8349 toner cartridge horizontally a few times before slotting it in to ensure even toner distribution and smooth print density from the first page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does the WT-8500 waste toner bottle need to be replaced compared to toner cartridges?
The WT-8500 waste toner bottle typically lasts through several toner cartridge changes, but dense colour graphics accelerate how quickly it fills. Keep a spare bottle ready to avoid unexpected print job pauses when the sensor indicates the container is full.
Can I mix compatible TK-8349 toners with genuine Kyocera toners in the same printer?
Yes, compatible TK-8349 cartridges work seamlessly alongside genuine Kyocera toner cartridges in the TASKalfa 2552ci without needing complete system flushes or setting adjustments.
Why does the TK-8349K black cartridge yield significantly more pages than the colour variants?
Standard office workflows consume black toner at a far higher rate due to text documentation, so the TK-8349K is manufactured with a 20,000-page capacity compared to the 12,000-page yield of cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges.
