Frequently Asked Questions

Our greens have turned the color of deep water — which cartridge did that?

The yellow. Green is cyan plus yellow, and when the 045Y empties — which it does almost invisibly, since yellow is too pale to watch fading — the cyan prints unaccompanied and every green sinks toward blue. It is the Canon 045 family's most misdiagnosed fault; people blame settings, profiles, everything except the quiet yellow cartridge.

How far does the standard 045Y go?

Up to 1,300 pages, priced at $33.64, so yellow works out to roughly 2.59 cents per page. Remember it is spent inside greens, oranges and warm tones as well as on visibly yellow things, so it drains even in offices that swear they never print yellow.

Why would I buy standard when a high-yield yellow exists at the same price?

A fair challenge. The Canon 045H yellow, 045HY, is rated at 2,200 pages and is also $33.64 here, so it is the better pages-per-dollar buy. This standard 045Y exists for buyers who want the standard cartridge their printer documentation specifies — bought with eyes open, it does its 1,300 pages honestly.

Which printers is the 045Y made for?

The Canon imageCLASS LBP612Cdw, MF632Cdw and MF634Cdw. Those three machines run the Canon 045 family, and the 045Y is the family's standard-yield yellow.

What are the companion standard cartridges?

Cyan is the 045C, magenta the 045M and black the 045BK. With this 045Y they complete the standard Canon 045 set, each replaceable on its own as its level runs out.

What guarantee stands behind a compatible cartridge?

A 1-year warranty and free returns for a year, with the complete policy on our shipping and returns page. Support hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

If yellow fades invisibly, how do we time its replacement?

Do not wait for a symptom you can see on the yellow itself — there effectively is not one. Instead, let the other cartridges set the clock: when cyan or magenta of the same age starts showing its own drift, check the Canon 045Y at the same time, and reprint a green-heavy page to judge it. Yellow spent inside greens and warm tones all its life, so a same-age color set tends to approach the end together even though only yellow hides it.

What is the fairest test of a newly installed 045Y?

Reprint the page that gave the old cartridge away. If a drowned, blue-shifted green exposed the fault, print that exact page again with the fresh 045Y fitted and compare the two sheets side by side. Greens should sit back at their proper depth and warm highlights should lose their cold cast. A before-and-after pair settles the question in a way that printing some new document cannot, because it tests the precise mix that failed.

How does duplex printing affect the 045Y's 1,300 pages?

The rating counts printed sides. A two-sided color page spends yellow on each face that carries green, orange or warm tones, so duplexed color work draws the cartridge down at up to twice the per-sheet rate of single-sided printing. An office that duplexes its color handouts will reach the end of an 045Y sooner than its sheet count predicts — the toner arithmetic runs on sides, however the paper is counted.

Is a spare yellow worth shelf space?

More than any other color, arguably. Yellow is the cartridge whose failure is discovered latest, usually through other colors' faults after wrong pages have already printed. A sealed Canon 045Y ready in the cupboard ends that sequence the moment it is diagnosed. Keep the packaging closed, store it flat somewhere cool and dry, and it will wait in full working condition — toner is a powder and does not dry out while it sits.
