Frequently Asked Questions

What do we actually save with the 2 pack?

Two single Canon 106 cartridges cost $95.68; this 2 pack is $77.20, so you save $18.48 and the per-cartridge price drops from $47.84 to $38.60. Another way to see it: the second cartridge effectively costs $29.36. Across the pack's 10,000 rated pages (5,000 per cartridge), the cost per page falls from about 0.96 cents to roughly 0.77 cents. On a machine series that offices keep for a decade, that difference repeats with every restock — the pack is not a one-off promotion, it is the standing price for buying two at once.

When does the second cartridge earn its place on the shelf?

When running out would hurt. The MF6500 series machines these cartridges feed — MF6530, MF6540, MF6550, MF6560, MF6580, MF6590, MF6595 — are typically the office's only copier-printer, so an empty cartridge stops copying, faxing output and printing in one stroke. With a spare in the cupboard, a toner warning becomes a five-minute swap instead of a stalled morning. If your machine is a backup unit that prints a few pages a week, the single is the honest buy; if it is the workhorse, stock the spare.

Are both cartridges the full 5,000-page yield?

Yes. Each cartridge in the pack is the standard Canon 106, part number 0264B001AA, rated at 5,000 pages at 5% coverage — there is no reduced-fill "pack version." Two identical cartridges, 10,000 pages in total, differing from two singles only in the price you pay and the number of deliveries you receive.

How long can the spare wait before we install it?

Many months, comfortably. Keep it sealed in its bag, stored flat in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and heat, and note the arrival month on the box so it is used before any later stock. Sealed compatible cartridges do not lose performance sitting on a shelf over normal office timescales. Each cartridge is covered by our 1-year warranty and the pack by 1-year free returns in any case — terms on the shipping and returns page.

What if one cartridge prints badly and the other is fine?

They are covered independently. A defect in one cartridge is handled on its own under the 1-year warranty; you are never asked to return a working cartridge because its pack-mate failed. If you hit a problem, support can usually tell cartridge faults from machine issues with a couple of questions — we are available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

How does delivery work for the pack?

Both cartridges ship together from the nearest of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — in one domestic parcel. One order, one tracking number, and your next two cartridge changes are already in the building.
