Frequently Asked Questions

What does one page actually cost with this cartridge?

The math is simple: $35.60 for a cartridge rated at 3,400 pages works out to roughly 1.05 cents per page. That rating assumes the standard 5% page coverage — mostly text documents. If your office prints dense reports, forms with heavy black fills or a lot of scanned copies, real-world coverage runs higher and the page count comes down. For typical office paperwork — letters, invoices, contracts, internal memos — most users land close to the rated figure, and at about a cent a page the Canon 118 black is one of the cheaper ways to keep an imageCLASS color machine fed, because the black cartridge does the heavy lifting in a machine that also carries three colors.

How long does 3,400 pages last in a typical workgroup?

Work backwards from your monthly volume. A small team printing 300 black pages a month gets close to a year from one cartridge. At 600 pages a month it is roughly five to six months. A busy department pushing 1,200 pages a month will finish it in under three. The Canon 118 (part number 2662B001AA) is the black cartridge for this platform, so every monochrome page you print draws on it — color pages with black text use it too. If you do not know your volume, check the machine's page counter twice, a month apart, and divide.

Which printers take this cartridge?

Any Canon imageCLASS machine built around the Canon 118 cartridge: the MF8350 and MF8350CDN, MF8380 and MF8380CDW, MF8330 series, MF8580CDW, and the LBP7200, LBP7200CDN, LBP7660 and LBP7660CDN laser printers. The reliable check is the part number — if your current cartridge or your manual says 2662B001AA, this is the cartridge. One design serves the whole family, so there is no separate version for the multifunction models versus the single-function printers.

Do I need to replace the color cartridges at the same time?

No. The black Canon 118 and the three color cartridges are independent — each is replaced only when it runs out. In most offices the black empties two or three times for every color change, because everyday documents are overwhelmingly black text. Replace this one when your prints fade or the machine flags it, and leave the colors alone until they actually need attention.

What if the cartridge leaks, streaks or fails early?

Every cartridge we sell is covered by a 1-year warranty against defects, and this one also carries 1-year free returns — if it does not perform as it should, you are not stuck with it because you chose a compatible cartridge instead of the original. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page. Before you conclude a cartridge is faulty, try removing it and rocking it gently side to side a few times; settled toner causes more "failures" than actual defects do.

Where does it ship from, and how fast?

From whichever of our four US warehouses is closest to you — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — so the cartridge is already in the country and on a domestic truck, not crossing an ocean. If you have a question before or after ordering, our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
