Frequently Asked Questions

Why would anyone pick the standard 046 cyan when the 046H cyan costs exactly the same?

Honestly? For most people, there is no savings argument — both cartridges are $36.47. The per-page numbers favour the high-yield 046HC: about 0.73 cents a page against this standard 046C's roughly 1.59. Where the standard cartridge still makes sense is genuinely light colour use: if your machine prints colour only now and then, this cartridge's 2,300 pages are already a very long supply, and the choice barely matters. If colour volume is real, take the H.

How many pages does the standard 046C give us?

Up to 2,300 pages at the rated yield. Spread thinly across occasional colour jobs — a chart here, a letterhead there — that is a long-lasting cartridge. Priced at $36.47, it works out to about 1.59 cents per page for the cyan share of your printing.

What does cyan do in our prints, and how do we know when it is fading?

Cyan builds every blue and every green with its partners. As this Canon 046 cyan fades, blues drift toward violet and greens turn dull and yellowish. Those two shifts together are the tell — and they arrive gradually, which is why colour problems so often get blamed on the printer first.

What are the matching standard cartridges for the other slots?

In the standard Canon 046 family, magenta is the 046M, yellow is the 046Y and black is the 046BK. Each colour is rated at 2,300 pages, keeping the set in step. And if you later want the larger fills, the high-yield Canon 046H equivalents use the same slots.

Which printers take the standard Canon 046 cyan?

Canon's imageCLASS 046 machines: the LBP654Cdw and LBP654Cfw printers and the MF731Cdw, MF733Cdw and MF735Cdw multifunction models. If the cartridge in your cyan slot reads Canon 046, this 046C is the standard-yield cartridge for it.

What happens if this cartridge gives us trouble?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year if it is not right for your machine. The details are on our shipping and returns page, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
