Konica Minolta Cyan Toner C 220 – C 280

The Konica Minolta TN-216C (part number A11G430 or A11G450) is the Cyan toner cartridge designed for the bizhub C220 and C280 color multifunction engines.

Compatible Konica Minolta Printer Series:

• bizhub C220

• bizhub C280

  (Note: Although the bizhub C360 is part of the same hardware generation, it requires the physically keyed TN-319C cartridge due to its faster print speed. The TN-216C is specifically molded to fit the C220 and C280 hopper configurations.)

Technical Specifications:

• Part Number: TN-216C / A11G430 / A11G450.

• Page Yield: Approximately 26,000 pages (calculated based on standard 5% page coverage).

• Color: Cyan.

Key Information:

• The Full TN-216 Family: The cyan bottle completes the standard full-color running set alongside these companion cartridges:

  • TN-216K (Black) — ~29,000 pages (A11G130)

  • TN-216C (Cyan) — ~26,000 pages (A11G430)

  • TN-216M (Magenta) — ~26,000 pages (A11G330)

  • TN-216Y (Yellow) — ~26,000 pages (A11G230)

• Simitri HD Polymerized Toner: Utilizing Konica Minolta’s biomass-infused, plant-based chemical toner formulation, this cartridge features uniformly small, spherical micro-particles. This precise shape allows for clean color mixing (producing rich blues and greens) and sharp, crisp layouts on mixed graphic/text documents.

• Low-Temperature Fusing Profile: The advanced chemical properties of the powder allow the fuser unit to melt and bond the toner at lower operating temperatures. This helps minimize machine warm-up times, lowers office energy footprint, and reduces paper curling during heavy print runs.

• Independent Imaging Infrastructure: Faint cyan text, light vertical lines, or blank color blocks usually stem from the underlying long-life parts rather than a fresh toner bottle. Monitor the separate DR-311C Color Drum Unit (rated for up to 55,000 pages on the C220 and 75,000 pages on the C280) and the independent cyan developer unit, which operate completely separate from this supply tube.
