Frequently Asked Questions
What does this 3-pack actually save compared with three single cartridges?
The pack costs $46.15, which works out to about $15.38 per cartridge. A single 43979101 sells for $27.70, so three singles would total $83.10 — buying the 3-pack instead saves you $36.95, a cut of roughly 44% off the per-cartridge price. Every cartridge in the box is the full 3,500-page 43979101, so the pack holds 10,500 pages of printing.
Why is this pack sold under a number instead of a printer name?
Because the 43979101 is one cartridge shared by several Oki machines. Selling it under the part number keeps one listing honest for every owner instead of duplicating the same pack under each printer's name. If the cartridge you pull out of your machine is stamped 43979101, this is the pack that replaces it.
How far does 10,500 pages stretch in a small office?
At roughly 500 pages a month, each 3,500-page cartridge covers about seven months, so the box lasts close to a year and three quarters. At 1,000 pages a month the three cartridges are gone in about ten and a half months. A light user at 250 pages a month could stretch the pack past three years. Those figures assume standard text coverage; dense graphics shorten them.
Is a 3-pack the right size, or should I jump to five?
Three suits a single printer with steady, moderate use — you bank a real discount without tying up much cash or shelf space. If the machine is shared by a team or prints well over 1,000 pages a month, the larger pack's lower per-cartridge price usually wins. If you print only occasionally, even one spare beyond the installed cartridge may be more than you need.
Is this an original Okidata product?
No — these are Clever Supplies compatible cartridges built to the 43979101 specification and rated for the same 3,500 pages each. They are not Oki-branded originals, and that is precisely why the per-cartridge price can drop from $27.70 to about $15.38 inside this pack.
What cover do the three cartridges come with?
Each one carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the full terms on our shipping and returns page. If any cartridge in the pack prints poorly or fails early, call us Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and we will make it right.
