Frequently Asked Questions

What does the ten-pack do to the price of this cartridge?

It takes it to the bottom of the range. Ten compatible 106R01530 cartridges are $523.84 — about $52.38 per cartridge against $69.02 bought singly, and roughly 0.48 cents per page across the pack's 110,000 rated pages. Against ten individual purchases totaling $690.20, the pack saves $166.36. Nothing about the cartridge changes; this is simply the deepest quantity discount the 106R01530 is sold at.

How much printing is 110,000 pages?

For one machine printing 3,000 pages a month, about three years. At 5,000 pages a month, roughly 22 months. Spread across a small fleet of 3550-platform machines, it is the kind of stock that turns toner into a once-a-year line item. The total is based on the standard rating of 11,000 pages per cartridge at 5% coverage.

Who buys toner ten at a time?

Offices where the 3550 platform does heavy, non-negotiable work — billing runs, dispatch paperwork, multi-machine departments — and where an empty printer is a real problem rather than an inconvenience. Ten cartridges also suit a shared supply shelf feeding several machines, because every unit fits every model on the platform and no stock is ever stranded in the wrong variant.

Which printers does the pack cover?

All of the platform's models take the 106R01530: the WorkCentre 3550, WorkCentre 3550X, WorkCentre 3550XM and WorkCentre 3550YX. The number on the listing is the number on the cartridge, which is how you can confirm the match for any of them.

How do we store nine spare cartridges?

Sealed, flat, in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight, and used oldest-first. Toner is a dry powder and stores well over long periods; the discipline that matters is keeping the seals intact until a cartridge is needed and not stacking heavy items on the boxes. A date written on each box when the pack arrives makes rotation simple.

What if one of the ten turns out to be faulty?

Each cartridge carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a faulty unit is covered individually and the other nine are unaffected. The terms are set out on our shipping and returns page, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
