Frequently Asked Questions

The printer only holds one cartridge — why would I buy two at once?

Because a printer that stops mid-job rarely stops at a convenient moment. This 2-pack puts one cartridge in the machine and one sealed on the shelf, so a cartridge that runs out on a deadline day costs you two minutes of swapping instead of days of waiting on a delivery. Between the two cartridges you get up to 12,800 pages, which covers most small offices for the better part of a year without a second order.

How does the math work versus buying two singles?

Two single cartridges cost $65.64 bought separately; this pack is $47.14, so you save $18.50. Per cartridge that is $23.57 instead of $32.82, and it pulls your cost per page down from about 0.51 cents to roughly 0.37 cents. It is the same cartridge either way — the saving comes purely from buying the pair together.

Will this pack work in my printer?

Both cartridges are the Canon CRG-119 II, made for imageCLASS machines that use that cartridge: Canon imageCLASS printers that use the Canon CRG-119 cartridge. If the cartridge coming out of your printer says Cartridge 119 II or CRG-119 II, you are ordering the right thing. Note that the plain Cartridge 119 (without the II) is the smaller standard-yield version — this pack is the high-capacity II.

Can I split this pack between two printers?

Yes. The two cartridges are individually sealed, so you can install one in each of two machines that take the CRG-119 II, or keep both for one printer. Splitting the pack changes nothing about coverage: each cartridge is protected from the day it arrives, whether it goes into a machine this week or sits sealed for months first.

What if one cartridge in the pack turns out to be faulty?

You are not stuck with the pair. Each cartridge is covered on its own: if one leaks, prints with streaks, or fails early, contact us and we will make that single cartridge right without asking you to send back or give up the good one. Keep the faulty one handy when you get in touch — a quick description or photo of the problem page usually speeds everything up.

What warranty and returns come with this pack?

The pack is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, detailed on our shipping and returns page — and that year runs from delivery, so the spare sitting sealed on your shelf is covered the same as the one in the machine. We ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

When exactly should the next 2-pack be ordered?

On the day the shelf spare goes into the printer. From that moment, the installed CRG119II and its 6,400 rated pages are your entire stock — there is nothing sealed behind it. Ordering at the swap keeps a full cartridge's worth of runway between you and an empty shelf, and it turns reordering into a habit attached to an event you cannot miss, instead of a note you have to remember.

Why write dates on a box that just sits on a shelf?

Because two dates teach you your real interval. Mark the month this 2-pack arrives on the spare's box; when that spare is finally installed, add that date too. Across one pack you learn how long a CRG119II actually lasts in your office — not the rated figure, yours — and every future order can be timed from evidence. It takes five seconds with a pen and quietly removes all the guesswork from toner planning.

Will this pair really deliver 12,800 pages in our office?

That is the rated total at standard coverage, and your mileage will move around it. Months of plain correspondence can land close to it; a season of dense contracts, forms and bold headings will pull the real figure below it, because those pages lay down more toner than the rating assumes. Judge the pair by the first cartridge's actual life in your machine — the second CRG119II will follow the same pattern.

Does the first cartridge's performance say anything about the sealed second one?

A good deal. Both units in this 2-pack arrived together and have waited under the same conditions, so a first cartridge that installs cleanly and prints dense, even pages from the start is practical evidence about the one still sealed beside it. If anything ever did look wrong with the first, you would learn it while the second cartridge and your options were both still in front of you — another quiet advantage of buying the pair.
