Frequently Asked Questions

How does this 3-pack price break down?

Three 44844512 black cartridges for $119.72 — about $39.91 per cartridge, against $52.23 for a single. Bought one at a time, three cartridges would cost $156.69, so the pack saves roughly $36.97. Across the combined 30,000-page rating, your black toner cost works out to about 0.40 cents per page.

Who is a 3-pack the right size for?

An office that replaces black toner a few times a year and would rather order once than keep re-ordering. Three 44844512 cartridges cover about 30,000 pages — a quarter or more of printing for many small departments — without tying up the money or shelf space a bigger bundle would.

Are all three cartridges the same?

Yes. Every unit in the pack is the identical 44844512 black cartridge with the same 10,000-page rating; there is no standard/high-yield mix hiding in the box. Any of the three can go into the printer first, and the rest store as spares.

Which machines take this cartridge?

The 44844512 is listed for the Oki C831dn in this listing's name, and also the C831, C831n, MC873dn and MC873dnc. A single 3-pack can therefore supply a mixed bench of those printers, since they all draw the same black cartridge.

Are these genuine Oki cartridges?

They are compatibles, manufactured to the 44844512 specification and sold by Clever Supplies rather than by Oki. That is the whole reason the per-cartridge price sits where it does. You can compare the rest of our compatibles for this family on the Okidata page.

What if one of the three turns out to be defective?

Each 44844512 is covered individually by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a bad unit goes back at no cost — the terms are on our shipping and returns page. Packs ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is on hand Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
