Key Information:

• The Full TN-328 Family: Unlike prior generations where the black cartridge yielded higher than the colors, the entire TN-328 lineup shares an identical high-capacity yield threshold:

  • TN-328K (Black) — ~28,000 pages (AAV8130 / AAV8150)

  • TN-328C (Cyan) — ~28,000 pages (AAV8430 / AAV8450)

  • TN-328M (Magenta) — ~28,000 pages (AAV8330 / AAV8350)

  • TN-328Y (Yellow) — ~28,000 pages (AAV8230 / AAV8250)

• Next-Generation Simitri V Polymerized Toner: This series utilizes an updated eco-resin formula featuring a significantly lower melting point than previous Simitri HD generations. It offers excellent color saturation, crisp cyan halftone layers, and reduced energy consumption during rapid wake-from-sleep print cycles.

• Refined Bottle Architecture: The bottle is built as a slim, elongated cylinder that glides horizontally into the front access slots. It uses a high-density regionalized tracking microchip to ensure proper machine communication and guard against wrong-territory supply issues.

• Separated Maintenance Items: For image quality troubleshooting, remember that the color system relies on separate internal units. Faint cyan streaks or localized color dropouts usually point to the DR-316C Color Drum Unit (~105,000 pages) or the individual developer units rather than an issue with the toner powder supply itself.
