Frequently Asked Questions
These cartridges are rated 6,000 pages each — is this set sized for an office machine rather than a print room?
Yes, and it is worth being clear about the class. The CRG-111 family serves Canon's imageCLASS office color machines — the MF9150C, MF9170C, MF9220Cdn and MF9280CDN, plus the imageRUNNER LBP5360 — not departmental production copiers. A 6,000-page rating in an office that prints a few hundred pages a day is a cycle of weeks to months per cartridge, which is the rhythm these machines were built around.
All four cartridges carry the same 6,000-page rating. How does that shape the way the set runs?
It means no slot is the obvious weak link. Black (1660B001AA), cyan (1659B001AA), magenta (1658B001AA) and yellow (1657B001AA) all start from the same rating, so in a typical office mix — mostly text, some color — the black tends to work hardest while the colors age more slowly. Expect to fit the cartridges at different times even though they arrived together; that is normal, and the shelf keeps the others ready.
What does $363.75 buy an office, in practical terms?
A complete reset of the machine's toner in one purchase — four cartridges averaging $90.94 each, every slot covered, nothing left to chance. For an office manager the practical gain is that toner stops being four separate small problems across the year and becomes one known expense, with the next full cycle starting the day the set goes in.
Should all four be fitted the day the set arrives?
Only if the machine genuinely needs all four. Fit the cartridge a slot is calling for and keep the others sealed in the box; an unopened cartridge loses nothing by waiting. The exception is color work that has visibly drifted — there, fitting the colors together restores a matched baseline and tells you quickly whether toner was the cause.
Does a matched set make a difference to the documents clients see?
It can, because office color problems are usually slow ones: a proposal whose charts have quietly gone dull, a logo whose red is not quite the company red. Those are mixed-age cartridge symptoms. Four cartridges of the same age remove that variable, so the MF9280CDN or MF9220Cdn produces the consistent output an office is judged on — and if quality is still off afterward, you know to look at the machine instead.
What cover comes with the set, and where does it ship from?
Each cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the full terms on our shipping and returns page, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Sets ship from one of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — so an office reorder is a short domestic delivery.
