Frequently Asked Questions

The machine only holds one black cartridge — why would we order two at once?

Because the second one is your insurance against a dead machine mid-week. When the installed cartridge empties, the spare goes straight in and work continues; you then reorder at leisure instead of paying rush shipping. For a shared departmental copier, a single morning of downtime usually costs more than the spare ever will.

How much do we actually save with the two-pack?

Two singles would cost $164.92. This pack is $146.43, so you keep $18.49 and each cartridge effectively costs $73.22 — dropping the per-page figure from about 0.25 cents to roughly 0.22 cents across the 66,000 combined pages.

Is this pair tied to the IMC4500 named in the listing?

The title highlights one model, but the 842279 black cartridge these are built from belongs to the full Ricoh IM C4500 and IM C6000 platform — every machine in that family runs the same black cartridge. Buying the pair for any of those models is the same purchase, just listed under a single model's name.

Can we split the two cartridges between two machines?

Yes. Nothing about the pack requires both to feed one device. Offices running two machines from this platform often keep one cartridge in each, or hold both centrally and issue them as gauges fall. Either way, the per-cartridge price stays at the pack rate.

Will the spare cartridge go bad sitting sealed on a shelf?

Not under normal storage. Kept sealed, upright, and away from heat and direct sunlight, a toner cartridge holds up well for the kind of shelf time a busy office creates — typically months, not years. Rotate stock so the older cartridge is always the next one installed.

What if one cartridge in the pack turns out to be faulty?

Each cartridge carries our one-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year — a bad unit does not mean returning the whole pack to get help. The policy is spelled out on our shipping and returns page. With warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, a replacement usually ships from the closest stock point.

About This Ricoh 842279 Black Toner 2-Pack
