Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MFP M528dn 4 pack contain?

Four CF289A cartridges — the standard HP 89A — each rated at 5,000 pages and sealed on its own, in one order at $303.98. Together they bank 20,000 pages of printing and copying for the LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528dn and any siblings sharing the stock.

Who buys this model's toner at four-deep?

Facilities teams and office managers responsible for several MFPs, or for one M528dn so heavily used that its cartridge is a monthly event. The logic is the same either way: a shared network machine must never sit idle awaiting a delivery, so its toner is held on site.

How do duplex habits affect the pack's life?

Plan in pages, not sheets: the four cartridges hold 20,000 printed pages at standard coverage, and a two-sided document spends two of them. A duplex-default office will therefore see the pack as about 10,000 finished sheets — the paper saving is real, it just does not extend the rated page count.

What is the clean way to issue stock to several machines?

One shelf, one queue: cartons are drawn in the order they landed, and an empty shelf space beside the last carton is your cue to reorder. Since a single code — CF289A — feeds the whole platform, no sorting by model is needed before a cartridge goes out to a machine.

Will the fourth cartridge still print perfectly after long storage?

Yes, without reservation. Toner is one of the few consumables that time on a shelf does not touch: inside its sealed bag the powder stays exactly as packed. A dry cupboard away from radiators is all it asks, and the unit you fit last will lay down black as solidly as the unit you fit first.

How is a problem with one cartridge in the pack resolved?

On its own. Every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and the order is backed by 1-year free returns, per our shipping and returns page. Stock is held at our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and the support desk answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What does each cartridge inside the four-pack cost?

At $303.98 for four, each CF289A works out to $76.00 a cartridge. Across the pack's combined 20,000 rated pages that is about 1.5 cents per page, with copies counted exactly as prints — a simple figure a facilities budget can carry per thousand pages without separating the machine's print work from its copy work.

How can we forecast when this pack will finally run out?

Use the machines' own page counters. Read the M528dn's counter monthly, note how many pages the floor actually puts through — prints and copies together — and divide the pack's 20,000 pages by that monthly figure. The result is your months of cover, and after the first cartridge is spent you can check the forecast against reality and adjust the reorder date with evidence instead of guesswork.

Can the four cartridges be split between machines when the order arrives?

Yes. Every carton is sealed on its own, and the CF289A feeds the whole M507 and M528 platform, so two cartridges can live with one MFP and two with another — upstairs and downstairs, for example — with no compatibility sorting beforehand. Whoever draws stock just takes the next carton; the code on the box is the code every machine in the group asks for.

How should the empties from a four-pack be sent out?

Box each spent cartridge in the carton its replacement arrived in, as the changes happen, and stand the boxed empties together in the supply cupboard. When a few have accumulated, they can leave in one batch with the building's regular recycling or office waste run — tidier than loose cartridges on a shelf, and it keeps used units clearly separate from sealed stock.
