Kyocera TK-3164 toner supports both desktop printing and multifunction document work across the ECOSYS P3045dn, P3145dn, M3645dn and M3645idn. Each black cartridge is listed for up to 12,500 A4 pages, covering printed documents and, on the multifunction models, photocopies from the same toner supply.
CartridgesDirect stocks genuine Kyocera TK-3164 cartridges alongside a compatible alternative. The genuine option is manufactured by Kyocera, while the third-party cartridge offers a lower purchase price. Both are available individually, so you can order a replacement or replenish supplies for several supported machines.
In-stock orders placed before 2 pm are usually dispatched the same business day, with free standard shipping on orders over $75. Our Australian-based customer support team can help confirm compatibility before you order.
TK-3164 toner cartridges are compatible with the following Kyocera models:
- Kyocera ECOSYS M3645idn
- Kyocera ECOSYS M3645dn
- Kyocera ECOSYS P3045dn
- Kyocera ECOSYS P3145dn
The P3045dn and P3145dn are dedicated printers, while the M3645dn and M3645idn are multifunction machines that also copy and scan. All four use TK-3164 black toner. On the multifunction models, printing and photocopying draw from the same cartridge.
Check your printer’s complete model number against this list before ordering. You can also use our Printer Finder to locate the correct replacement or contact our team for help matching toner to another Kyocera model.
The genuine TK-3164 cartridge is manufactured by Kyocera for the supported printers. It is a suitable option for customers who want original manufacturer supplies or workplaces that specify genuine toner.
Its stated capacity is up to 12,500 A4 pages, measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. This provides a reference when planning replacement purchases, although actual output will depend on your documents and printing conditions.

Select the genuine cartridge to check the current price, availability and full product specifications before adding it to your basket.
CartridgesDirect also supplies a compatible TK-3164 black toner cartridge manufactured by a third party. It is listed at up to 12,500 pages and offers a lower-priced alternative to the original Kyocera product.
For a printer that needs regular toner replacements, the difference in purchase price can affect annual supplies spending. The compatible option gives businesses another choice where their purchasing policies allow third-party cartridges.
Compare the individual product specifications and applicable warranty or return terms alongside the price. The same stated yield does not mean genuine and compatible products are identical in construction or performance.
If you are unsure which option to purchase, our team can help you locate the relevant product information. Confirming your preferred cartridge before ordering also makes repeat purchases easier for other staff members.
Short letters and simple invoices generally use less toner than reports containing dense text, graphics or heavily shaded tables. The mix of documents you print will affect how often your cartridge needs replacing.
For multifunction machines, photocopying also uses the toner supply. Include copying activity when estimating demand, especially where staff regularly duplicate customer paperwork, contracts or training materials.
Your printer’s usage history can help you plan the next order. Recording the page count when toner is installed and replaced gives you a clearer picture of how much output your workplace achieves from each cartridge.
When comparing genuine and compatible options, divide the purchase price by the stated yield to estimate toner cost per page. This calculation covers toner only. Paper, electricity and printer maintenance are separate expenses.
Choose your quantity based on how often you replace toner and whether you need a spare on hand. A lightly used machine may need only one cartridge at a time, while a shared office printer may benefit from an unopened spare.
Before a large reporting run or batch of documents, check the remaining toner and allow time for delivery. Ordering ahead can help prevent an empty cartridge from delaying work that needs to be printed.
For offices using several compatible ECOSYS models, consider their combined consumption. A shared supply of TK-3164 cartridges can be allocated to whichever supported machine needs a replacement first.
Keep spare cartridges sealed in their original packaging and follow the supplied storage instructions. Make the cartridge code visible so staff can identify the correct replacement without opening other products.

Select genuine Kyocera or compatible TK-3164 toner and choose the quantity required. Check your printer model, product selection and delivery details before completing checkout.
If you are also replacing a machine or adding equipment to your workplace, explore our Kyocera Printers range. Confirm the consumables specified for any new printer before including spare toner in your order.
TK-3164 fits the Kyocera ECOSYS P3045dn, P3145dn, M3645dn and M3645idn. Check the complete model number on your printer before ordering, including the letters at the end.
Genuine TK-3164 toner is manufactured by Kyocera. The compatible alternative is made by a third-party manufacturer and offers a lower purchase price for the supported printers.
Both options are listed for up to 12,500 pages, but that does not mean they are identical products. Consider your workplace’s purchasing requirements and review the individual specifications and applicable warranty or return terms before choosing.
The genuine Kyocera TK-3164 is rated for up to 12,500 A4 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. The compatible option is also listed at up to 12,500 pages.
Actual output depends on document content and printing conditions. Reports containing graphics, dense text or heavy shading generally use more toner than short letters. Photocopying also contributes to consumption on multifunction machines.
TK-3164 contains black toner and is designed for the supported monochrome printers. It is not a colour cartridge and cannot replace cyan, magenta or yellow toner.
If you need supplies for a colour Kyocera printer, check its full model number to find the correct cartridge family before purchasing.
Yes, provided each machine is a supported model. For example, a workplace using a P3145dn and an M3645idn can keep TK-3164 replacements for either machine rather than stocking separate cartridge codes.
When purchasing a shared supply, consider the combined usage of the printers. Keep unopened cartridges in their original packaging and follow the supplied storage instructions.
A routine TK-3164 toner change does not require a drum replacement. The toner container and drum are separate components, so an empty cartridge does not mean both need replacing.
Follow your printer’s maintenance messages and manufacturer instructions for drum servicing. If faded output or streaks continue after installing toner, consult the troubleshooting guidance before purchasing another component.
A higher page yield does not make another cartridge compatible with your printer. Choose the toner code specified for your exact model rather than selecting a similar-looking cartridge with a larger capacity.
For the P3045dn, P3145dn, M3645dn and M3645idn models covered here, select TK-3164. Ask our team to confirm compatibility before purchasing a different cartridge code.
Orders over $75 qualify for free standard shipping. Other printer supplies purchased in the same order can contribute towards that total.
