Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy two of a cartridge that already lasts 3,100 pages?

Because the run-out, when it comes, will not consult your calendar. This 2 pack of the Canon 052 means the replacement is already in the building: one cartridge working, one waiting. For a printer other people depend on, that small stock is the difference between a pause and a problem.

What does the pair do to the price?

Two singles would cost $66.64. This pack costs $48.14 — $18.50 less — which is $24.07 per cartridge, and across 6,200 rated pages the rate works out to about 0.78¢ per page against roughly 1.07¢ bought singly. The cartridges are the standard Canon 052, rated at 3,100 pages each.

How far does 6,200 pages of supply stretch?

At 150 pages a month, over three years. At 300 pages a month, about twenty months. At 500 a month, just over a year. Ratings rest on standard test pages, so documents with dense coverage will move those horizons closer.

Should we step up to the 052H instead of pairing this cartridge?

If the printer is busy, consider it: the high-yield Canon 052H carries 9,200 rated pages in a single cartridge. This 2 pack is the better shape for moderate volume, where 3,100 pages already lasts a good stretch and a shelf spare — rather than maximum capacity — is what you are really buying.

How do I check this pack fits my printer?

Check the cartridge you are replacing: a Canon 052 marking — short code 052BK — confirms this pack holds its standard-yield replacement, twice over. An 052H marking means the same family, with this listing being the standard-yield member.

What cover do we get with a compatible pack like this?

Each cartridge is a third-party compatible, not Canon-made, and each is backed by a full one-year warranty with free returns for a year — see our shipping and returns page for the details. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
