Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this pack contain black cartridges only?

Because black and color do not empty at the same speed. On a C9650, text, line work and the black component of every color page draw on the 42918984 black cartridge continuously, while the color cartridges sit idle through mono jobs. A black-only 2-pack restocks the cartridge that actually runs out, instead of forcing a full set purchase around it.

How much black printing is in the box?

Each cartridge in this pack is rated at up to 18,500 pages, so the pair covers up to 37,000 pages of black output. Wide-format graphics work will pull that figure down; everyday documents at ordinary coverage will get closer to it. Either way, two cartridges is a meaningful stretch between orders.

What does the pricing come to per cartridge?

The pack is $149.24, so each 42918984 works out to $74.62, and the running cost across the rated life is about 0.40 cents per page. Buying the pair together is what produces that per-cartridge figure — it is the pack discount, stated plainly.

Which machines is this 2-pack listed for?

The C9650 family in its wider form: the C9650, C9650n, C9650dn, C9650hdn and C9650hn, along with the C7. With that many variants in the field, the dependable check is the part number — if the cartridge in your machine reads 42918984, this pack restocks it.

When should the second cartridge go in?

Only when the first is genuinely finished. The printer takes one black cartridge at a time; the second is a shelf spare. Keep it sealed, flat and away from sunlight and heat sources, and swap it in when print quality or the machine's toner warning tells you the installed unit is done.

What cover comes with the order?

A one-year warranty on the cartridges and free returns for one year, detailed on our shipping and returns page. These are compatible cartridges — newly manufactured to the original specification, not Oki-branded — and that warranty is the commitment behind them. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and stock ships from IL, PA, GA and CA.

About This C9650 Black 2-Pack

A 2-pack of compatible black toner cartridges to the Okidata 42918984 specification — $149.24, $74.62 per cartridge, each rated at up to 18,500 pages — for the C9650, C9650n, C9650dn, C9650hdn, C9650hn and C7. It exists for one practical reason: black is the cartridge a C9650 consumes on its own schedule, and this restocks exactly that, one in the machine and one in reserve. More for the family is on our Okidata toner page.
