Frequently Asked Questions

What does the high-yield yellow give us that the standard 046 yellow does not — for the same $36.47?

More than twice the pages. This 046HY, the Canon 046H yellow, is rated at up to 5,000 pages; the standard 046Y is rated at 2,300, and both sit at $36.47. Per page that is roughly 0.73 cents against about 1.59 cents. The high-yield cartridge is not a premium version at a premium price — it is simply the bigger fill at the same money.

Our greens have turned blue — is a yellow cartridge really the answer to that?

Yes, counterintuitive as it sounds. Green is printed as cyan plus yellow; take the yellow away and the cyan prints alone, which your eye reads as blue. A fresh 046HY puts the yellow back into the partnership and the greens come home. Blue greens are the most reliable sign that the yellow slot is empty.

Who benefits most from the high-yield fill?

Anyone whose colour printing is steady rather than rare. Yellow drains slowly on text documents but steadily on graphics, charts and photos; over 5,000 pages the 046HY asks for half as many swaps as the standard cartridge and costs less than half as much per page to run.

Can a machine that started on standard cartridges take this one?

It can. The 046H cartridges are the larger fill of the same Canon 046 family and use the same slots — the 046HY replaces a standard 046Y directly, with nothing about the printer needing to change.

Which printers is the 046HY made for?

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 is its high-yield equivalent.

What backing comes with it?

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