Frequently Asked Questions

Can toner for this printer really become one line on the budget?

That is what this pack is for. One purchase of $77.79 puts 12,400 rated pages on the shelf — four Canon 052 cartridges at 3,100 pages each. An office printing 400 pages a month is covered for about two and a half years; at 800 a month, well over a year passes before toner needs buying again.

What does the 4 pack do to the numbers?

Four singles would cost $133.28, so the pack saves $55.49 and brings each cartridge down to $19.45. Across the pack's rated pages the rate works out to about 0.63¢ per page — the standard-yield cartridge at its cheapest, beaten per page only by the high-yield Canon 052H.

Is four cartridges sensible stock, or over-buying?

Honest answer: it depends on the printer's appetite. A machine printing a few hundred pages a month will work through this box in good time. A quiet home printer will not, and for that desk the 2 pack is the honest size. Stock should match the pace you actually print at, not the pace you might.

How should the box be stored and worked through?

Keep the cartridges sealed in their packaging somewhere cool and dry, and load them oldest first. Toner is a dry powder and stores patiently; the only discipline required is rotation, so no cartridge sits forgotten while newer stock is used ahead of it.

How do I check this pack fits my printer?

If the cartridge coming out of the machine reads Canon 052 — short code 052BK — this box holds exactly that standard-yield black cartridge, four of them. An 052H reading means the same family; this listing is its standard-yield member in bulk.

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.
