Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy two TK18 cartridges at once?

So a low-toner warning never becomes downtime. Install one now and keep the second on the shelf; when the first runs dry, the swap takes minutes instead of days waiting on a delivery. The 2 pack is $108.04.

What exactly is inside the box?

Two individually sealed TK18 black cartridges, each rated at 7,200 pages. They are identical units — one for today, one held in reserve.

Does the spare cartridge go bad sitting on a shelf?

Not under normal office conditions. Keep it sealed, upright and away from heat and direct sunlight, and it will be ready when you need it months from now. A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns cover both cartridges regardless.

Which printers does the pair cover?

Both cartridges fit the FS-1018MFP, FS-1020D, FS-1118MFP, KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820. If your office runs two of these models, the pair can be split between them.

What if one of the two cartridges has a problem?

Each unit is covered on its own. Contact support Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST and we will make it right under the warranty — you do not have to send the good cartridge back.

Where will the 2 pack ship from?

From the closest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses. Transit details and return instructions are on our shipping and returns page.

What does each cartridge in the pair work out to?

The 2 pack is $108.04, so each TK18 inside it comes to $54.02 in the one order. That is the figure to plan with: one cartridge goes into service now at that unit cost, and the second waits on the shelf already paid for, so the next empty is a two-minute swap instead of a fresh purchase decision made under time pressure.

How much printing do the two cartridges cover together?

Each TK18 is rated at 7,200 pages, so the pair represents 14,400 pages at standard coverage before both are spent. In a small office printing a few dozen pages a day, that is a long stretch of letters, invoices and reports from a single order. Dense pages with heavy graphics will pull the real total down; plain text work will land close to the rating.

Both of my printers are running low — which one should get the shelf spare?

Give it to the machine with the heavier daily workload. The busier printer reaches true empty first and usually has work queued behind it, while a light-use machine can often stretch a fading cartridge through several more days of small jobs. Fitting the spare where the volume is keeps the office printing, and the lighter machine's replacement can be ordered calmly instead of urgently.

My pages are dense forms and graphics — will both cartridges fall short of 7,200 pages?

Likely, yes, and by a similar margin. The rating assumes standard coverage; pages that lay down heavy toner use more per sheet, so each cartridge finishes sooner than the headline figure. The pair still behaves predictably — judge the second cartridge by the first one's real life in your machine, because the same page mix that shortened the first will shorten the spare too.
