Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest way, per page, to buy Canon 045H black?

This 5-pack. At $88.49 for five cartridges you pay $17.70 per 045HBK — against $32.49 for a single — and the per-page cost falls to roughly 0.63 cents. Bought one at a time, five singles would set you back $162.45, so the pack saves $73.96 for the identical cartridges. Each unit is the full high-yield Canon 045H black, rated at up to 2,800 pages; the discount comes from the quantity, not from a lesser cartridge.

How much printing is 14,000 pages, in office terms?

Five cartridges at 2,800 pages each total up to 14,000 pages. An office printing 1,000 black pages a month is covered for over a year. A heavy user at 2,500 pages a month gets through the pack in about five to six months. Framed differently: for many small offices this is the only black-toner order they will place this year. The totals rest on the standard 5% coverage rating, so graphics-heavy output will trim them.

Why would a business stock five cartridges at once?

Three practical reasons. The per-page price is the lowest we offer on this cartridge. Reordering disappears as a recurring chore — no emergency orders, no waiting on a delivery when the printer stops mid-week. And a single purchase is simpler to expense than five separate ones spread across the year. If your 045 printer is a fixture of the office rather than a passing experiment, stocking up is the economical way to run it.

Does the standard Canon 045 beat this pack anywhere?

On the numbers, no. The standard-yield Canon 045 single sits at the same $32.49 shelf price as the 045H single while printing half as much — 1,400 pages against 2,800. Stretch that comparison across five cartridges and the gap becomes five standard cartridges' worth of pages you would simply never get. The standard cartridge has its place for very light users, but anyone printing enough to consider a 5-pack is far better served by the high-yield 045HBK at these prices.

Which printers can these five cartridges serve?

Any combination of the machines built on the Canon 045 family: the ImageClass LBP612Cdw, ImageClass MF632Cdw and ImageClass MF634Cdw. All five cartridges are the same 045HBK unit, individually sealed, so a multi-printer office can spread them across its machines as each one runs dry rather than dedicating the pack to a single printer.

What if we over-order and some cartridges stay unopened?

They are covered anyway. Everything we sell carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and an unopened cartridge you turn out not to need can go back within that year at no cost — as can any unit that misbehaves once installed. You are not gambling on using all five. The full policy is on our shipping and returns page.
