Frequently Asked Questions

The title does not show a part number — which cartridge is this, exactly?

It is the high-yield black of the Canon 054H family, cartridge code 054HK, rated at about 3,100 pages and priced at $32.42. The title on this listing is written short, but the cartridge is the same 054HK sold under its full code elsewhere in the range — check the code on the black cartridge in your machine and it should read 054H if this is your cartridge.

What does the high yield mean in everyday printing?

About 3,100 pages before black runs out. A home office printing 150 pages a month is looking at well over a year and a half; a busier desk at 400 a month gets around eight months. The rating is measured on typical documents at about 5% coverage, so heavy graphics shorten it, plain text stretches it.

How does it compare with the standard Canon 054 black?

The shelf prices are identical — $32.42 either way — but the yields are not: the standard 054 black, code 054BK, is rated at 1,500 pages against this cartridge's 3,100. That puts this one at roughly 1.05¢ a page against about 2.16¢ for the standard. Same money, double the pages; the comparison is printed on both listings because it matters.

Which cartridges complete the set in the printer?

The colours are the 054HC cyan, 054HM magenta and 054HY yellow, each rated at about 2,300 pages. Each is a separate cartridge with its own lifespan, changed only when it empties; black simply gets there first because it does the everyday document work.

Is this an original Canon cartridge?

No — a compatible 054HK, made to Canon's cartridge specification and covered by our 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns rather than a manufacturer warranty. That cover is the standing promise behind it.

What if there is a problem with it?

Faulty cartridges return free within the warranty year, under the terms on our shipping & returns page, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.
