Kyocera TASKalfa 2553ci Toner Cartridges
The Kyocera TASKalfa 2553ci uses the Kyocera TK-8339 toner series. Engineered for high-volume enterprise printing, this robust A3 colour multifunction printer uses separate black, cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges to produce sharp text and vibrant graphics. Workplaces handling heavy day-to-day document volumes may use black toner faster than the colour cartridges, so keeping spare black toner or a complete multipack available can help minimise printing interruptions. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for this printer model since Mar 2025 and is rated 4.8 by customers on Google.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
High-volume office workloads demand rigorous cost control per page. Kyocera evaluates laser yields using ISO/IEC standards. The black TK-8349K cartridge delivers twenty thousand pages, while cyan, magenta, and yellow deliver twelve thousand pages each, ensuring predictable replacement intervals across demanding departmental workloads.

Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Alternative supplies offer a reliable path to reducing expenditure without sacrificing office output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more by reading our guide comparing genuine and compatible options on our blog.
Managing other essential consumables
Maintaining peak operation requires monitoring auxiliary components alongside standard cartridges. The system incorporates the WT-8500 waste toner bottle to capture residual powder during duplex printing cycles.
Experience Tip: Always replace the waste toner bottle immediately when prompted by the panel to prevent internal powder spills.
