Kyocera TASKalfa 3051ci Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Kyocera TASKalfa 3051ci, which uses the Kyocera TK-8309 toner cartridge series along with WT-860 waste toner bottles. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this high-volume office printer since Mar 2025. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Replacing black TK-8309K cartridges more frequently than colour units ensures uninterrupted workflow during heavy administrative tasks.
Expected Page Yield and Capacity
TK-8309 toner yields are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798 testing standards based on 5% page coverage. High-capacity TK-8309K black toners yield up to 25,000 pages, while TK-8309C, TK-8309M, and TK-8309Y colour toners deliver up to 15,000 pages to support demanding office print loads.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TK-8309K | Standard | Black | 25,000 | $0.004 |
| TK-8309C | Standard | Cyan | 15,000 | $0.008 |
| TK-8309M | Standard | Magenta | 15,000 | $0.008 |
| TK-8309Y | Standard | Yellow | 15,000 | $0.008 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
We stock both authentic Kyocera units and fully tested compatible toners. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible TK-8309 cartridges offer substantial savings for routine high-volume jobs without sacrificing clear text definition. Read our genuine vs compatible guide to evaluate which option fits your office budget.
Waste Toner Containers
The Kyocera TASKalfa 3051ci requires a separate WT-860 waste toner bottle to collect excess toner dust during routine cycles. Experience Tip: The WT-860 is a standalone component that typically outlasts multiple TK-8309 toner replacements before requiring full replacement.
Recommended Purchasing Strategies
If you print high volumes of office documentation, keeping spare TK-8309K black cartridges on hand avoids stockouts. For full-colour reports, multi-packs offer greater convenience. Compatible options are backed by our money-back guarantee if they do not perform, and details can be reviewed in our returns policy. We ship directly from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure prompt fulfillment across Australia. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 when ordering your Kyocera toner cartridges.
Pro Tip
Keep a spare WT-860 waste toner bottle in your office supply cupboard alongside your replacement toner cartridges, as the printer will pause printing when the current waste collector reaches capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the TK-8309K black toner have a higher page yield than the colour cartridges?
Kyocera designs TK-8309K cartridges with a 25,000-page capacity compared to 15,000 pages for cyan, magenta, and yellow to account for standard commercial printing habits, where text documents make up the majority of print volume.
Is the WT-860 waste toner bottle included with new TK-8309 toner cartridges?
No, the WT-860 is a distinct consumable item purchased separately from individual TK-8309 toner cartridges, though it is designed for a long operating life across multiple cartridge cycles.
Can I mix genuine Kyocera TK-8309 toners with compatible TK-8309 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, compatible TK-8309 cartridges are engineered to work seamlessly alongside genuine Kyocera toners, allowing you to replace individual colours as they deplete without affecting printer operation.
