Frequently Asked Questions

We print colour maybe twice a month — is a 2,300-page yellow a sensible size for us?

For that rhythm, yes. Yellow is spent quietly and slowly, so 2,300 pages of it can cover years of twice-a-month colour work. At that volume the per-page figure — about 1.59 cents from the $36.47 price — barely registers in a budget. This standard Canon 046 yellow is sized for exactly your pattern of use.

How will we know when this yellow finally runs dry?

Not by looking for yellow. Green is cyan plus yellow, so an empty 046Y turns greens blue, and the warmth drains out of pages until everything looks a little cold. Those sideways symptoms — blue grass, icy photos — are how the yellow slot announces itself, usually long after it started fading.

What does the high-yield 046HY offer, honestly?

A bigger fill at the same price: the 046HY also costs $36.47 but is rated at 5,000 pages, roughly 0.73 cents a page. If your colour printing ever grows beyond the occasional job, that is the better cartridge. At a couple of colour jobs a month, the practical difference is small — which is the honest case for staying with this standard 046Y.

What are the other cartridges in the standard set?

Cyan is the 046C, magenta is the 046M and black is the 046BK — the rest of the standard Canon 046 family, each colour rated at 2,300 pages. The high-yield Canon 046H versions share the same slots if you ever move up to them.

Which printers take the standard Canon 046 yellow?

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

What if the cartridge gives us trouble?

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