Frequently Asked Questions

Why keep a spare black cartridge on the shelf at all?

Because black is the cartridge that stops the office. Color can fade quietly for weeks, but when the Canon 055 black (055BK) runs dry, invoices, labels and contracts stop with it. This 2 pack keeps one cartridge in the printer and one in the cupboard — 4,600 rated pages in total — so a dry cartridge at 4 PM is a two-minute swap, not an emergency order.

What does the second cartridge in the pack really cost?

Two singles bought one at a time would cost $117.54. The 2 pack is $99.03, so you save $18.51 and the effective price drops to $49.52 per cartridge. Spread across the pack's 4,600 pages, that pulls the cost per page down from about 2.56 cents on a single to roughly 2.15 cents — the same Canon 055 (055BK) cartridges, just bought with a bit of foresight.

Would the 055H 2 pack suit us better?

It might. The Canon 055H black (055HBK) is the high-yield version of this family — markedly longer-lasting per cartridge — and its 2 pack sits at the same $99.03 on our shelf. If your team goes through black cartridges quickly, fewer, longer swaps may serve you better. If a pair of standard cartridges covers you for months, this pack is the straightforward choice and the savings math above still holds.

Are these genuine Canon cartridges?

No — both are compatible cartridges built to the Canon 055 (055BK) specification and sold under our own brand, which is how the pack price stays at $99.03. Each is rated for 2,300 pages and installs exactly as the original does.

Where will the pack ship from?

From whichever of our four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is nearest to your delivery address. That keeps transit short for most of the country. If you need help choosing between pack sizes, our support team is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

Does buying a pack change the warranty?

Not at all. Each cartridge carries the same 1-year warranty, and returns stay free for a full year — the spare sitting sealed in your cupboard is covered just as the one in the printer is. Full terms are on our shipping and returns page.
