Frequently Asked Questions

This listing says "Premium Quality" — and it costs exactly the same as the standard 5-pack. Why?

We will be straight with you: the price on this Premium Quality 5-pack is $56.96, identical to our standard Canon 128 5-pack, and we are not going to invent a difference to justify a label. What you can compare on facts is this: five Canon 128 (3500B001AA) cartridges, each rated at up to 2,100 pages, at $11.39 per cartridge — against $130.95 for five singles, a saving of $73.99. Judge the listing on those numbers and on the warranty behind it, not on the word "Premium."

How many pages will the five cartridges cover in practice?

Up to 10,500 pages across the pack at the standard 5% coverage rating — 2,100 pages per cartridge. A shared office printer working through roughly 800 to 1,200 pages a month will take most of a year to finish this stock, which is precisely the point of a 5-pack: toner stops being a monthly decision.

What does the per-page cost work out to?

About 0.54 cents per page at the rated yield. For context inside this same family, the single cartridge at $26.19 runs about 1.25 cents per page, and the 2-pack about 0.81 cents. The 5-pack is where the Canon 128's running cost bottoms out; there is no larger pack in this family to step up to.

How should I handle five cartridges so the last one is as good as the first?

Use them in the order they arrived, keep the waiting ones sealed in their bags, and store them flat in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight and heat sources. When the installed cartridge starts to fade, rock it gently from side to side to redistribute the toner before reaching for a fresh one — settled toner is the most common cause of "empty" cartridges that are not.

What if a cartridge disappoints — am I stuck because it came in a multi-pack?

No. The 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns apply per cartridge, so a unit that leaks, fails early, or prints badly is replaced or refunded individually while the rest of the pack stays in your cupboard. Full terms are on our shipping and returns page.

Where does the order come from, and can I talk to someone first?

We ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, so your pack travels domestically. Support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — if you want to double-check that the 128 (3500B001AA) is the cartridge your imageCLASS machine takes, ask before you order rather than after.
