Supply Guy 5 Ink Cartridges for Ricoh GC-41 (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) – Mixed Colour Pack
Product description
What this is
Supply Guy 5 Ink cartridges form a compatible multi-pack designed for select Ricoh printers. The pack includes two Black BK cartridges (40ml each) and one each of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow (32ml each). It replaces the genuine GC-41 cartridge and is built with a latest chip and level indicator to help you monitor ink levels.
Who this is for
If you own an Aficio or Ricoh model listed in the compatibility notes and you’re looking for a cost‑conscious refill option, this pack aims to cover basic day‑to‑day printing needs—from internal documents to casual handouts. It’s suitable for light to moderate printing where consistent colour balance is not mission‑critical and you value value-for-money over premium, specialised colour fidelity.
How it performs in practice
On paper, the mix offers the standard colour set you’d expect from an office cartridge bundle. The presence of a chip and level indicator is useful for avoiding mid‑print surprises. However, with any third‑party refill, the outcome can hinge on your printer’s tolerance to non‑original supplies and how often you print in high‑demand colour jobs. For text‑heavy documents, the Black BK cartridge will be the main workhorse, for occasional colour elements, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are there to deliver simple colour accents rather than vibrant photo‑quality outputs.
What stands out
- Comprehensive GC‑41 replacement set in one multipack, potentially saving time on cart shopping.
- Built‑in level indicator may help you plan replacements more predictably than blind guessing.
- Broad compatibility list covers a wide range of Ricoh Aficio and Ricoh SG/SF series printers.
What may not convince you
- It’s a third‑party alternative, so print quality and longevity may not match OEM cartridges, especially for high‑demand colour printing.
- With frequent full‑colour printing, you might notice improvised tones or quicker colour fade compared with original supplies.
- The exact colour accuracy and cartridge yield depend on your printer’s calibration and paper choice.
Compatibility notes
The pack lists compatibility across multiple Ricoh and Aficio models, including SG2100n, SG3100 Series, SG3110n, SG3120Bsf and several related variants. If you rely on a specific model, verify the model‑to‑cartridge pairing in your printer’s maintenance or cartridge settings to avoid misalignment or recognition issues.
Practical use scenarios
A typical day at a small office or home office might involve printing status reports, forms and internal memos with occasional colour highlights. If you don’t regularly push large colour documents or photo prints, this pack could align with your needs without paying premium for OEM colour cartridges.
Before you buy — what to check
- Confirm your exact Ricoh/Aficio model is listed within the compatibility range. The long list in the product copy means double‑checking is wise.
- Consider your printing habits: if you rely on consistent high‑quality colour prints, you may prefer an OEM or a higher‑yield alternative.
- Ensure your printer recognises third‑party ink and that you’re comfortable with potential differences in print tone over time.
FAQ

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you prioritise value and your printer is within the supported models, but not the best choice if you depend on premium colour accuracy or heavy monthly colour printing. If your priorities are budget and practical day‑to‑day use, this pack offers a realistic balance between cost and functionality.
