Frequently Asked Questions

I've always bought the standard 119 — what actually changes with the 119 II?

One thing, mainly: stamina. The standard Canon 119 is rated at about 2,100 pages. This Canon 119 II — cartridge code CRG119II — is the high-capacity member of the same family and is rated at 6,400 pages, just over three times as much. The cartridge fits your ImageClass LBP6670DN the same way, prints the same black, and asks nothing different of you. It simply stays in the machine far longer, so the swap you used to make every few months becomes a rare event.

Will the CRG119II work in the same printer as my 119?

Yes. The 119 and the 119 II are two capacities of the same cartridge line, and any printer that takes one takes the other — including your LBP6670DN. There is no setting to change and nothing to update; the printer treats the CRG119II exactly like the cartridge you have always used, it just keeps printing long after a standard 119 would have given up. That makes the upgrade a pure purchasing decision, not a technical project.

How much longer between changes, in practical terms?

Take a desk printing 400 pages a month: a standard 119 lasts a little over five months, while the CRG119II runs for about sixteen. At 1,000 pages a month the standard cartridge needs changing roughly every two months; the 119 II stretches that to well over six. Every avoided swap is a small saving of time and hassle, and for whoever orders supplies, it also means a third as many orders to place and deliveries to receive each year.

Is the print quality any different from the standard cartridge?

No — the 119 II is not a different kind of printing, just a larger reservoir of the same job. Text stays crisp and blacks stay solid from the first page to the last, and the rated yield is measured on the same roughly 5% coverage basis as the standard cartridge. If your documents looked right with a Canon 119, they will look right with this compatible CRG119II; you will simply see far more of them before anything needs changing.

Does the maths favor the II even if I print very little?

At $32.82 for 6,400 rated pages — about 0.51 cents per page — the 119 II is cheaper per page than standard cartridges as well as longer-lived, so light users save money too; they just save it slowly. The one consideration for very light use is time: a cartridge lasting two years or more should be stored and used sensibly, kept in its sealed packaging until fitting. For anyone printing regularly, though, the high-yield Canon 119 II wins on both cost and convenience.

What backs the cartridge if I'm switching for the first time?

The switch is low-risk: every unit carries a one-year warranty and one-year free returns, with the details on our shipping and returns page. If the CRG119II does not perform as it should, it comes back to us. Orders are dispatched from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want to talk the change over before ordering.

When the delivery arrives, how do I confirm I actually received the high-capacity cartridge?

Check before you break any seal. The stamp on the cartridge label and on the box should read CRG119II in full — that code, with the II, is the Canon 119 II. The standard cartridge carries the shorter 119 marking and holds about a third of the toner, so a quick label check at the door is the difference between sixteen months of printing and five. If the code on the box does not match the code on your order, sort it out while the packaging is still sealed.

Should the first page out of a fresh cartridge decide whether it is a good one?

No — give it a fairer test. The first page or two from any newly fitted cartridge can look a touch light while the toner settles into its working distribution. Print three or four ordinary documents and judge pages three and four: by then a healthy CRG119II in your LBP6670DN shows the dense, even black it will hold for thousands of pages. If those later pages are still pale or patchy, that is a real finding worth raising with us, not a settling artifact.

The old cartridge is out — is there any reason to keep hold of it?

Two, briefly. First, its label is your reorder reference: the full CRG119II code is printed on the cartridge that just served you, and quoting it exactly is the surest way to receive the same high-capacity unit again. Second, keep the empty until the replacement has printed cleanly for its first days — if anything disappoints, the old unit is the comparison that settles which side of the swap the problem sits on. Once the new one is proven, slide the empty into the new cartridge's box and send it to a take-back or recycling collection rather than the household trash.

Two different ImageClass machines share our office — can a single shelf spare cover both?

Very likely, yes. This is one cartridge across a whole family of machines: the fit list behind the CRG119II runs from the LBP6670DN itself to the MF5880dn, MF5950dw, MF5960dn, LBP251dw, LBP253dw, LBP6300dn, LBP6650dn, M6160dw and the MF414dw, MF416dw, MF419dw and MF5850dn. If both of your machines appear on that list, one sealed spare on the shelf stands guard over the pair of them — whichever printer calls first gets the cartridge, and the reorder that follows restores the cover for both.
