Frequently Asked Questions

What arrives in this pack, in plain terms?

Two CF289X black cartridges, sold under the short family name 89X. Each is a full high-yield unit rated at 10,000 pages. The pack exists for offices running more than one printer on the platform, so both machines can be fed from a single order.

We have two printers on the floor. Is one pack the right buy?

Usually, yes. Take one cartridge for each machine and both printers are covered in a single delivery, instead of staggering two separate orders weeks apart. If the machines print at similar rates, they will also come due at similar times — and the next pack handles that.

How do we confirm both printers take this code?

Check the label on each machine's current cartridge, or its supplies status page: both should read CF289X. The platform behind it is HP's Enterprise 500 series, including the LaserJet Enterprise M507n and the M528 line — mixed models still share the code.

Should both cartridges be fitted on the same day?

Only if both printers need them. A sealed cartridge keeps happily on the shelf, so the sensible pattern is to fit the first where it is due and hold the second until its machine calls for it. Toner does not spoil waiting in its bag.

Pages from one machine have started to fade. Which cartridge is at fault?

The one inside that machine — cartridges age independently. Rock the fading unit gently side to side and refit it; a brief recovery followed by fresh fading means it is empty. Its twin in the other printer is unaffected and should be left alone.

What warranty and returns cover the pack?

Both units are protected in the same way: a 1-year warranty apiece and 1-year free returns under our shipping and returns page. We send stock out of Georgia, California, Illinois and Pennsylvania, and support is reachable Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What does each cartridge in this pair effectively cost?

Half of the $191.05 pack price is about $95.53 a cartridge, and at the rated 10,000 pages that is just under a cent a page, roughly 0.96 cents at standard coverage. For a floor running two platform printers, the pair prices a full change cycle for both machines in one figure, which makes the toner line in the budget unusually easy to forecast.

What does the pair's combined capacity mean for our ordering rhythm?

Together the two CF289X cartridges hold 20,000 pages. Where two machines print at similar rates, they will approach empty at similar times, so the natural pattern is one scheduled pack order per cycle rather than two unrelated emergency orders weeks apart. Watching the two status pages together, rather than each machine in isolation, turns reordering into a single calm decision made with pages still in hand.

Should the first cartridge be proven before the second is committed to the other printer?

It is a sensible order of work. Fit the first CF289X where it is due and run a familiar document through that machine; clean, even output confirms the pack is sound. The second unit can then wait sealed with complete confidence until its printer calls for it, and if anything about the first fitting had been wrong, you would have learned it while the second cartridge was still untouched and returnable.

How do we remember which unit went into which machine months from now?

Write the machine's name and the fitting date on each carton as the cartridge goes in, and keep the two cartons together. A pack shared between printers otherwise blurs into a single vague memory of a delivery date, and the two machines' true intervals get lost. Two dated cartons preserve each printer's own history, which is exactly what you want in front of you when the next pack is being ordered.
