How many pages does the Ricoh 885247 print?

Ricoh rates it at about 6,000 pages. Real yield varies with page coverage and print density, so dense graphics use it up faster than plain text.

Is this a genuine Ricoh cartridge?

Yes. It is a Ricoh-branded black toner cartridge, model 885247, not a third-party remanufactured unit.

Does it print in color?

No. It is a black cartridge only. Color printing requires the separate color toner cartridges for your printer.

Which printers does it fit?

Fit depends on the printer model. Check that your Ricoh printer lists the 885247 cartridge before ordering, since Ricoh uses different cartridges across its lines.

Is a genuine cartridge worth it over a cheaper refill?

Genuine Ricoh toner is the safer choice for consistent output and fewer smears or streaks. Third-party refills cost less but quality varies, so many offices stay with the original.
