Frequently Asked Questions

12,500 pages — what does that look like in reams and months?

It is 25 standard reams of paper. A Phaser 3140 that eats a ream a month takes about two years to finish this pack; at two reams a month, roughly a year. Framed that way, the 5-pack is simply a year's-plus of printing bought at the bulk price instead of the single price.

And in money, what does the bulk price save?

The pack is $122.16 against $196.15 for five singles — about $73.99 saved, each 108R00909 working out to roughly $24.43 and the running cost to around 0.98 cents a page. The saving arrives because you commit to five at once, not because the cartridges differ.

Which machines can use these cartridges?

Any printer in the family built around this supply: the Phaser 3140, Phaser 3155, Phaser 3160, Phaser 3160B, Phaser 3160N and Phaser 3160V_B.

We have two different models from this family — one pack or two?

One. Both printers take the identical 108R00909, so a single 5-pack on the shelf feeds whichever runs low first. Offices often discover their "different" printers were sharing a cartridge all along.

How should I work through the five?

First in, first out: fit them in the order you bought them, keep the waiting ones sealed, dry and out of direct sunlight. That way no cartridge sits opened or forgotten at the back of the cupboard.

What protection covers the pack?

Each cartridge has a 1-year warranty behind it, and returns are free for a full year. The complete terms are on our shipping and returns page; support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
