Frequently Asked Questions

Our black prints have gone streaky and grey — is it time for a new cartridge?

Very likely, yes. When a Canon 055 black cartridge (055BK) nears the end of its rated 2,300 pages, the classic signs are faded text, grey backgrounds on what should be white paper and streaks that cleaning cycles no longer fix. This compatible replacement restores full-density black at $58.77, and because it is rated for the same 2,300 pages as the original specification, you can judge its remaining life by the same rhythm you are used to.

What does a page actually cost with this cartridge?

Let us be straight about the arithmetic: $58.77 across 2,300 pages lands at roughly 2.56 cents per page. That is not bargain-basement toner pricing, and we will not pretend otherwise. What you are paying for is a cartridge built to the Canon 055 specification for printers that need dependable, dense black output — for many offices the real cost is the reprint pile and the meeting handout that looked washed out, not the fraction of a cent.

Should we look at the 055H instead?

Worth a thought. The Canon 055H black (055HBK) is the high-yield member of this family — same shelf price of $58.77 at our store, but a markedly longer-lasting cartridge, so swaps come far less often. If your printer eats a standard 055BK every few weeks, the high-yield route is the calmer habit. If a cartridge lasts you a season, this standard cartridge is a perfectly sensible buy and there is no penalty for choosing it.

Is this a genuine Canon cartridge?

No — it is a compatible cartridge manufactured to the Canon 055 (055BK) specification and sold under our own Clever Supplies brand. That is precisely how it reaches you at this price. It installs the way the original does and is rated for the same 2,300-page yield.

How quickly can we get one?

We ship from four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — and route each order from the one closest to you, so delivery is typically a matter of a few business days. Questions about an order? Our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What if the cartridge disappoints us?

Every cartridge we sell is covered by a 1-year warranty, and returns are free within the first year — if it underperforms, you are not stuck with it. The details live on our shipping and returns page.
