Kyocera TASKalfa 306ci Toner Cartridges
Your Kyocera TASKalfa 306ci uses the TK-5199 toner cartridge series along with WT-5190 and WT-8500 waste toner bottles. The TASKalfa 306ci is a high-speed A4 colour laser printer engineered for busy workgroups. With TK-5199K black toners lasting double the lifecycle of TK-5199 colour cartridges, routine document printing stays cost-effective. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for Kyocera TK-5199 toners are measured under ISO/IEC 19798 standards based on 5% coverage. High-volume office environments will notice that the TK-5199K black cartridge outlasts the 7,000-page TK-5199 colour cartridges by more than double, making text-heavy printing highly economical.

Waste Toner Collection for the TASKalfa 306ci
The WT-8500 waste toner bottle provides a rated yield of up to 25,000 pages, collecting unused toner particles generated during everyday printing and operating entirely separately from the main TK-5199 toner cartridges.
Choosing the Right Cartridge Setup
If you print mainly text documents and standard business correspondence, purchasing the TK-5199K black cartridge individually will keep daily operational costs low. If you print colour presentations, bundle packs containing cyan, magenta, and yellow ensure all shades remain consistent. All orders are covered by our standard returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Browse our complete range of Kyocera toner cartridges to maintain continuous workflow.
Pro Tip
Keep an extra WT-8500 waste toner bottle in stock alongside your main toner cartridges; the TASKalfa 306ci halts print jobs once the waste container reaches capacity to prevent internal overflow, regardless of how much toner remains in your cartridges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the replacement frequency of the TK-5199K black toner compare to TK-5199 colour toners?
The TK-5199K black toner yields up to 15,000 pages, whereas the cyan (TK-5199C), magenta (TK-5199M), and yellow (TK-5199Y) toners yield 7,000 pages each. In typical business environments with high document volume, black toner is replaced roughly twice as often as individual colour cartridges.
Do I need to replace the waste toner bottle every time I replace a TK-5199 toner cartridge?
No. The WT-8500 waste toner bottle is rated for up to 25,000 pages, meaning it lasts significantly longer than individual toner cartridges. It only needs replacement when full, which usually coincides with every two to three black toner changes.
Can I replace individual TK-5199 colour cartridges as they run out?
Yes, TK-5199 colour cartridges operate independently. You only need to replace the specific colour toner that is depleted, allowing you to maximize the full page life of each remaining cartridge.
