Frequently Asked Questions

The second cartridge in this pack effectively costs under $30 — how?

Simple subtraction. One Canon X25 (8489A001AA) single is $48.19; this 2-pack is $77.88, so the second cartridge adds $29.69. Averaged out, you pay $38.94 per cartridge instead of $48.19, saving $18.50 against two singles, and the two cartridges together carry 5,000 rated pages. Pack pricing front-loads the discount onto the extra unit, which is exactly the unit that keeps you printing.

What does the 2-pack do to the running cost per page?

It brings it from the single's 1.93 cents down to about 1.56 cents per page across the pack's 5,000 rated pages. The rating assumes standard 5% coverage, so an MF machine printing mostly letters, forms and reports will land close to that figure. On a shared office printer, a fifth off the per-page cost is a meaningful change over a year — without changing anything about how the office prints.

One cartridge in the machine, one on the shelf — is that the intended pattern?

It is, and it suits the X25's machines well. The imageCLASS MF models this cartridge serves — MF3110 through MF5770 — are typically the only printer a small office has, so an empty cartridge is a full stop. Holding the second 8489A001AA cartridge in reserve means the stop never happens: swap in a minute, reorder at leisure, and the replacement becomes the new spare when it arrives.

Could the two cartridges go into two different machines instead?

Certainly. Both units are the identical Canon X25, so an MF3240 in one office and an MF5550 in another can each take one. The economics are unchanged — $38.94 per cartridge either way — and neither machine's user has to coordinate orders with the other. Just note which machine received which cartridge if you track usage per device.

What cover comes with this pack?

Each cartridge is a new compatible X25, and each is individually backed by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, as described on our shipping and returns page. If one of the two streaks, leaks or fades early, that unit alone is replaced or refunded. Support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the pack ships from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouse, whichever is closest.

Any storage advice for the cartridge that waits its turn?

Leave it sealed in its bag, stored flat in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. There is no advantage to opening or installing it early — an unopened compatible cartridge keeps well, and when the first cartridge is installed, writing its start month on the box makes rotation effortless later.
