Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of operation buys five black cartridges at once?

One that treats toner like any other production supply: a print room, a busy office running a C9600 as its color workhorse, or anyone whose black page volume makes reordering a monthly chore. Five 42918904 cartridges total about 75,000 pages of black capacity, so this pack turns toner buying into an occasional, planned purchase instead of a recurring interruption.

How much does the 5-pack save against buying singles?

Five single cartridges at $83.87 would cost $419.35. This pack is $345.36 — a saving of $73.99, which works out to roughly $69.07 per cartridge and brings the toner cost down to about 0.46 cents per page. It is the lowest per-cartridge price this listing family offers, in exchange for the largest upfront outlay.

Will the last cartridge still be fine after months on the shelf?

Yes, provided it stays sealed and stored sensibly — a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight is all toner asks for. The cartridges in this pack are identical 42918904 units; there is no difference between the first one you load and the fifth, as long as each stays in its packaging until its turn comes.

Which printers does this pack supply?

The 42918904 black cartridge fits the Oki C9600hdn, Oki C9600hn, Oki C9600n and Oki C9800hdn. A site running more than one of those machines can draw from this single stock, since the black cartridge is common across them — one code to order, one shelf to manage.

Are these original Oki cartridges?

No, they are compatible cartridges made to the 42918904 specification. Buying five at a time makes the backing matter, so to be plain about it: each cartridge is covered by our one-year warranty, and our one-year free returns policy applies across the pack. Full details are on our shipping and returns page.

How is an order this size handled?

It ships from whichever of our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouses serves you fastest. If you want to confirm the code or talk through quantities first, our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central.
