Frequently Asked Questions

What does this two-pack contain?

Two CE250A black cartridges for the CP3525, each sealed separately, at $58.77 for the pair. Both are the standard 504A black — the pack simply puts a second unit on the shelf so the printer never waits on a delivery.

How should I use the two cartridges?

Fit one and shelve the other. When the installed cartridge runs out, the spare goes straight in and the reorder happens that day instead of in a panic. Rotating them in the order they arrived keeps the stock fresh.

What is the page rating?

Each CE250A is rated at 5,000 pages. The rating belongs to the individual cartridge and assumes typical office coverage — text documents on the CP3525, which is a printer-only machine, so its black consumption is purely print work.

Why buy two blacks for a color printer?

Because black does most of the work. On a CP3525 the color cartridges serve the occasional chart or brochure, while the black slot handles the daily stream of letters and reports. Doubling up on the slot that empties first is the economical way to stock.

Do both cartridges have to go in at once?

No — the printer holds one black at a time. The second unit stays sealed in its box until its turn, and keeping it sealed is exactly what preserves it.

How do I tell when the installed one is nearly done?

Watch the supplies gauge on the control panel or the printer's web page. When the black bar is nearly empty and pages start to fade, swap in the shelf unit and place the next order the same day.

About This CP3525 Two-Black Pack

The Color LaserJet CP3525 is the print-only workhorse of the 504A line, and this pack matches its appetite: two CE250A blacks at 5,000 pages apiece, $58.77 for the pair. One works in the machine while the other waits sealed in the cupboard, which turns a toner emergency into a two-minute swap.

The pack is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. It ships from the closest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses — see the shipping & returns page for the details — and our support team is on hand Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. More for this platform is listed under HP.
