The Ricoh Ink Cartridge 405865 Black is an original Ricoh inkjet cartridge designed to deliver consistent, high-quality prints for everyday home and office tasks. It produces sharp text and clear graphics, supporting reliable document production and colour output where a black component is required. The cartridge is manufactured to Ricoh standards and designed for straightforward installation and stable performance.

Advantages

This original Ricoh cartridge offers high (XL) yield capacity for extended printing between replacements and is engineered to produce crisp text and reliable black tones necessary for professional documents. Compatibility with Ricoh devices ensures predictable results and fewer interruptions due to cartridge fit or communication issues. The cartridge design simplifies installation and replacement, supporting consistent page yield and print quality.

Suitable for

• General office document printing where durable, legible black text is required
• Home printing tasks that need reliable black ink performance
• Mixed colour jobs in printers that use a dedicated black cartridge alongside colour units

When it may not be suitable

This cartridge may not be suitable for printers that do not specify compatibility with Ricoh original cartridges or for devices requiring a different cartridge size or formulation. It is not appropriate for use in printers that require a pigment-based black if this model uses a dye formulation for certain print modes.

Key specifications

• Brand compatibility: Ricoh
• Type: Original manufacturer cartridge
• Cartridge capacity: High (XL) yield for extended page output
• Printing colour: Black (used as the primary black component in printing)

How to use

Install the cartridge according to the printer manufacturer’s instructions: power off the printer if recommended, open the cartridge access area, remove any protective seals or tabs from the cartridge, and insert it into the correct slot until it clicks or seats securely. After installation, run a test page or printer alignment procedure if prompted to ensure correct placement and print quality. Replace the cartridge when print quality declines or the printer indicates low ink levels.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your printer model lists compatibility with original Ricoh cartridges and the specific cartridge form factor required.
• Check whether your printing tasks require pigment or dye black inks to ensure the cartridge’s formulation meets your durability and fade-resistance needs.
• Verify expected page yield and whether high (XL) capacity matches your printing volume and cost-per-page goals.

Recommendations

Store cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight until installed. Run periodic nozzle checks and alignment routines to maintain consistent print quality. If replacing a cartridge mid-print, follow the printer prompts to avoid interrupted jobs and keep spare cartridges on hand for high-volume environments.
