Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy two cartridges at once?

Because of the rhythm it creates: one Canon 071 working in the printer and one waiting on the shelf. When the first runs out — always mid-job, never at a convenient moment — the swap takes two minutes instead of turning into an urgent order and a printer sitting idle while you wait for delivery. For a printer you rely on every week, that spare is the whole point of the 2 pack.

What does the second cartridge really cost me?

The pair costs $83.09, which is $41.55 per cartridge. Bought as two separate singles at $50.80, the same two Canon 071 (5645C001) cartridges would cost $101.60, so the 2 pack saves you $18.51. It also pulls the running cost down from about 4.23¢ a page to roughly 3.46¢ a page.

How far do 2,400 pages actually go?

Two cartridges at 1,200 rated pages each give you up to 2,400 pages in total. At around 200 pages a month, that is roughly a year of printing covered by one purchase. At 400 pages a month — a genuinely busy home office — expect about six months. However you split it, you are ordering half as often as with singles.

Honestly, how does this compare with one 071H cartridge?

We would rather show you than hide it: a single Canon 071H (5646C001) costs $58.88 and is rated at 2,500 pages, so on pages-per-dollar alone it beats this pack. What the 2 pack gives you instead is two separate cartridges — one installed, one in reserve — and the lowest per-swap cost in the family: each change uses a $41.55 cartridge rather than a high-yield one. If you prefer printing with standard cartridges and keeping a physical spare, this is the economical way to do it.

Will the spare cartridge keep until I need it?

Yes, with basic care. Keep the spare sealed in its packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and it will be ready when the installed cartridge finishes. When you do swap, use cartridges in the order you bought them so stock rotates naturally.

What cover do I get with a compatible 2 pack?

Both cartridges carry our one-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year — the full terms are on the shipping and returns page. Orders ship from the closest of our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if anything comes up.
