Frequently Asked Questions

What does the five-pack contain?

Five standard Q5949A cartridges — HP's 49A — for $98.00. Each unit is the family's regular black cartridge, individually sealed in its own box, each rated at 2,500 pages. The five are identical in every respect; the pack is a quantity, not a different product.

Who is a five-pack sized for?

Either one hard-worked printer or a small group of machines. A busy shared printer can turn a cartridge over in weeks, and a handful of desk printers each need a swap a few times a year — five on the shelf covers both patterns without a standing order or a monthly errand.

How should stock that may sit for months be stored?

Sealed in the original boxes, stacked flat, in a dry cupboard away from radiators and sunlit windows. Toner cartridges are forgiving stock, but heat and light are the two things worth keeping them from, especially when the last box in the pile may not be opened for some time.

How is rotation handled across five boxes?

Write the arrival month on each carton and work through them in that order. Five boxes is enough stock for the sequence to be forgotten if it lives only in someone's head — written on the shelf, it runs itself. When one box remains, the next order goes in.

Can the pack be divided between different models?

Yes — one code serves the whole family, from the LaserJet 1160 through the 1320 printers to the 3390 all-in-one. Five cartridges can be spread across any mix of those machines, which is precisely why bulk stock of this cartridge never goes to waste when a printer is replaced within the family.

What cover does the purchase include?

The pack is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, as the shipping & returns page sets out. We dispatch from warehouses in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and support is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Q5949A 5 Pack

Five is the stockroom size: deep enough that toner stops being a recurring conversation, at $98.00 in our HP range. Every cartridge carries the standard 2,500-page rating, and the family-wide fit keeps the whole pile usable however the office's printers change.

Bought this way, the cartridge becomes what it should be — background infrastructure. The shelf is checked occasionally, the oldest box comes off the top of the pile, and printing carries on without anyone having to think about codes until the reorder point arrives.
