Frequently Asked Questions

What does stocking up in a 4 pack actually save?

Four Canon 051 singles would cost $110.80. This 4 pack of the Canon 051 (2168C001) costs $55.36 — a saving of $55.44, which brings each cartridge down to $13.84 and the rate across the pack's 6,800 rated pages to about 0.81¢ per page. It is the cheapest way to buy this standard-yield cartridge; the only cheaper route per page is stepping up to the high-yield Canon 051H (2169C001).

Who honestly goes through 6,800 pages of black toner?

A desk printing 300 pages a month finishes this pack in just under two years. A small office at 600 pages a month gets through it in about eleven months. If your printer produces a few dozen pages a month, be honest with yourself: four cartridges is more stock than you need, and the 2 pack or a single is the better-sized buy.

Does toner go off sitting in a cupboard?

Toner is a dry powder, not a liquid ink, so it stores well. Kept sealed in its packaging, away from heat and damp, a cartridge stays ready to use for a long shelf period. The sensible routine is first in, first out: load the oldest cartridge next and keep the rest sealed until their turn comes.

Are all four cartridges identical?

Yes — four of the same standard-yield Canon 051 (2168C001) black cartridges, each rated at 1,700 pages. There is no mix of yields in the box and no difference between the first cartridge and the fourth; only the per-cartridge price improves as the pack gets bigger.

How do I check this is the cartridge my printer takes?

Check the cartridge coming out of the printer. A Canon 051 marking, or the part number 2168C001, confirms this pack holds the right standard-yield black cartridge for your machine — the same number appears in the printer's supply information.

What happens if one of the four gives me trouble?

Every cartridge in the pack is covered individually: a full one-year warranty and free returns for a year, set out on our shipping and returns page. Buying in bulk does not dilute the cover, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
