Frequently Asked Questions

Let us start with the honest number: what does a page cost?

Roughly 2.73 cents — $84.61 for a cartridge rated at 3,100 pages. We will not dress that up as cheap, because it is not the cheapest way to print a page. The Canon 057 black (057BK) earns its place in printers where output quality and reliability matter more than shaving fractions of a cent: dense, professional black for documents that represent your business.

Who is the standard 057 actually right for?

Offices with steady but moderate volume. If a 3,100-page cartridge lasts you a couple of months, the standard 057BK keeps your cash out of the supply cupboard and your replacement rhythm relaxed. If you are swapping cartridges every few weeks, be honest with yourself and look at the high-yield 057H (057HBK) — it is more money up front and far less per page.

How does the 057H compare on the numbers?

The Canon 057H black (057HBK) costs $111.78 and is rated at 10,000 pages — about 1.12 cents per page, less than half this cartridge's rate, with more than three times the pages between swaps. The extra $27.17 pays for itself quickly at volume. At gentle volume, the smaller ticket of this standard cartridge is the rational buy; the math flips with usage, and only your print log knows which side you are on.

Is this a genuine Canon cartridge?

No — it is a compatible cartridge built to the Canon 057 specification (057BK) and sold under our own Clever Supplies brand, which is how it comes to $84.61. It installs like the original and carries the same 3,100-page rating.

How fast will it get here?

We ship from the closest of our four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — so most offices are printing again within a few business days. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What protection backs it?

A 1-year warranty and free returns for the full first year. If the cartridge underperforms, you send it back at no cost — the terms are laid out on our shipping and returns page.
