Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the box?

Two Q2612A black cartridges, each sealed on its own, for $37.82. Both carry the standard 2,000-page rating — one for the printer, one for the shelf.

Why buy two at once instead of a single?

Because the low-toner warning never arrives at a convenient moment. With the second cartridge already in the building, the swap takes two minutes on the day the warning appears, and the reorder can happen calmly afterwards instead of as an emergency.

When should I order the next pair?

The day the spare goes into the printer is the natural trigger. At that point the shelf is empty again, so ordering the next two-pack then keeps the rhythm going — one working, one waiting, indefinitely.

Will the spare still be good after months on the shelf?

Yes. Kept sealed, flat and away from heat and strong light, a toner cartridge waits patiently. Give it a gentle side-to-side rock before fitting so the powder is evenly spread, and it will print like the day it arrived.

Does it matter which of the two I fit first?

Not at all — the two cartridges are identical. If the pair sits for a while, fit the one whose carton you dated earliest, just to keep the rotation tidy.

How do I know the fitted cartridge is genuinely running low?

Pages that fade evenly from top to bottom are the classic sign, and a supplies status page printed from the printer confirms the estimated level. Rocking the cartridge can recover a little extra life, but that is the moment the shelf spare earns its keep.

About This Q2612A Two-Pack

The LaserJet 1018 on a small office desk does not need a stockroom — it needs one cartridge working and one waiting. This two-pack of Q2612A cartridges, each rated at 2,000 pages and $37.82 for the pair, is built around exactly that rhythm: swap the day the warning shows, reorder when the spare goes in.

The pack is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. It ships from the nearest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses — the shipping & returns page explains delivery. Our team is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and further supplies for this printer family live under HP.
