Toner cartridge Prism TN-227K Black for Minolta C257i C227i C287i, 24k pages, 100% new

Prism TN-227K Black is a replacement toner cartridge designed for use with Minolta/Konica A3 multifunction printers C257i, C227i and C287i. The cartridge is 100% new and supplies black toner for laser printing, with an approximate yield of 24,000 pages according to the manufacturer. It is intended for environments that require reliable monochrome output or mixed-colour workflows where a dedicated black cartridge is needed.

Advantages

The cartridge provides consistent black density and print quality across large print runs, supporting sharp text and solid fills. Being a new unit, it avoids issues related to remanufactured components and supports predictable yield and performance. The design matches the form factor and toner system of compatible Minolta/Konica models to ensure straightforward installation and stable operation.

Suitable for

• Office departments with high-volume black-and-white document printing
• Workgroups that require reliable, uniform black text and graphics
• Print environments where a new, full-yield cartridge is preferred over remanufactured supplies

Usage recommendations

Store cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For consistent print results, allow the cartridge to reach room temperature before installation and follow the printer manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines. Replace the cartridge when print density decreases or when the device indicates low toner to maintain document legibility.
