Toshiba T-FC338PK-R Black Toner Cartridge

The Toshiba T-FC338PK-R toner is a genuine black toner cartridge engineered for consistent monochrome and color-document output on compatible Toshiba e-STUDIO multifunction systems. This cartridge delivers uniform particle distribution through precision-milled toner formulation, supporting sharp text reproduction, clean line art, and reliable halftone rendering across standard office paper weights.

Designed as a replacement consumable within the T-FC338 series, the T-FC338PK-R integrates with the printer’s imaging pipeline to maintain stable optical density from the first page through rated yield. The cartridge housing incorporates molded seals and a precision-fit drum interface that minimizes toner leakage during installation, transport, and operation. Internal components are calibrated to work with the device’s fusing assembly, helping preserve print quality while reducing the risk of background scatter or ghosting on repeated runs.

Technical specifications align with OEM yield expectations for high-volume office environments. The black toner supports duplex printing, mixed-media jobs, and batch report generation without requiring additional calibration under normal operating conditions. Particle size and charge characteristics are matched to the engine’s developer unit and photoconductor drum, which helps sustain contrast ratios and edge definition over the cartridge lifecycle.

Installation follows a straightforward cartridge-exchange procedure: power down or follow device prompts, remove the spent unit, unpack the replacement while avoiding exposure to direct sunlight or extreme humidity, and seat the cartridge until the retention mechanism engages. The integrated chip or mechanical interlock—depending on model configuration—communicates toner status to the control panel, enabling accurate low-toner alerts and simplified inventory tracking.

Environmental handling considerations include storage between 10°C and 30°C with relative humidity below 80 percent, non-condensing. Shake the cartridge horizontally before first use per manufacturer guidance to redistribute toner evenly inside the reservoir. For offices running mixed color workloads, pairing this black unit with corresponding cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges maintains color balance across composite documents, charts, and marketing collateral.

Quality assurance processes applied during manufacturing verify seal integrity, toner density consistency, and compatibility with specified engine firmware revisions. When used within recommended duty cycles, the T-FC338PK-R supports predictable cost-per-page metrics and reduces unplanned downtime associated with third-party substitutes that may deviate in melt point or charge control. Document archiving, legal correspondence, and internal workflow forms benefit from the stable black output this cartridge provides across extended print campaigns.
