Frequently Asked Questions

What does the per-cartridge price fall to in this five-pack?

It lands at $26.83. Five cartridges bought together come to $134.16, whereas the same five purchased one by one would total $208.10 - the difference is $73.94 kept - and the running figure sinks from 1.39 cents a page to somewhere near 0.89 cents. Only the ten-pack undercuts it in this cartridge's line-up.

Who buys an ML-1500's toner five cartridges at a time?

People whose printer is not allowed to stop. A small office pushing invoices through it daily, a home worker with no second machine to fall back on - for them, 15,000 pages on the shelf converts toner from a recurring errand into a once-a-year decision, settled in a single order.

How should a five-pack be stored and worked through?

Cupboard rules apply: sealed, flat, dry, no sunlight. Fit the units in sequence as each exhausts itself, and test a fading cartridge with a gentle shake before condemning it - there may be a few good pages left to harvest. Stored so, the fifth cartridge behaves exactly like the first.

Can one box supply several printers of this generation?

Yes, and that is half its appeal. The cartridge inside is the common unit for the ML-1510, ML-1510B and ML-1520, for the ML-1710, ML-1710B, ML-1710D and ML-1710P, and for the ML-1740 and ML-1750 besides the ML-1500 itself. One box can quietly serve as the toner shelf for every machine of the clan on the premises.

What if a cartridge halfway through the box turns out to be faulty?

That cartridge, and only that cartridge, comes back to us. Cover runs per unit rather than per order - a year of warranty and a year of returns without charge on each - so a mid-box unit that leaks or streaks is swapped through the returns route set out on the shipping and returns page while its neighbours stay in harness.

When would the single cartridge be the better purchase?

When the ML-1500 prints once in a while, or when you suspect it may be retired before long. If a lone cartridge already spans a couple of years for you, the pack's $73.94 advantage arrives too slowly to matter and $134.16 rests on a shelf in the meantime. Five at a time rewards machines that turn cartridges over in months.
