Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the second cartridge in this pack really cost?

$16.79. A single Canon 046H black (046HBK) is $35.28, and this 2-pack is $52.07 — so once the first cartridge is accounted for at its single price, the second one joins it for just $16.79 more. That is the cleanest way to see what a multipack does: the spare, which you were going to buy eventually anyway, arrives at less than half its standalone price.

And the totals, all in?

Two singles would run $70.56; the pack is $52.07, saving $18.49, with each cartridge effectively at $26.04. Together they are rated for up to 12,600 pages, which puts the per-page cost at roughly 0.41 cents — down from about 0.56 cents buying singly. The cartridges inside are the standard 046HBK in every respect: same 6,300-page rating each, same specification. Only the arithmetic improves.

How does this pack compare with the standard-yield alternative?

The standard Canon 046 black 2-pack costs exactly the same $52.07 here — and each of its cartridges is rated at 2,200 pages, so the pair totals 4,400 pages against this pack's 12,600. Same outlay, nearly three times the output. Where the printer takes the Canon 046H, and the machines in this family do, the standard pack is hard to justify on any measure except habit.

Do I have to use both cartridges in the same printer?

No — nothing ties them together. Many buyers run two machines from this cartridge family side by side and put one cartridge in each; others fit one and shelve the other as the spare. They are two independent, sealed 046HBK cartridges. Split them however your office is arranged; each one carries the same rating and the same cover.

What if the spare sits unused for a long time?

That is fine. The toner inside is a dry powder in a sealed unit — it does not dry out or go off the way liquid ink can. Keep the cartridge in its sealed packaging, somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and it will deliver its rated life whenever it is fitted, whether that is next month or next year.

What cover comes with the pack?

Each cartridge in it carries our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. A faulty cartridge within the year returns at no cost to you, and an unopened pack ordered in error can be sent back free within the year. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page.
