Frequently Asked Questions
What should the first pages look like after I install a cartridge from this pack?
Crisp and evenly black from the first sheet. Fit the 43979101, run a test page, and check that text is sharp edge to edge with no gray wash or repeating marks. A brand-new cartridge should not need a settling-in period — if the first pages look wrong, something is off, and that is exactly what the warranty is for.
What am I paying per cartridge in this 5-pack?
About $12.92. The pack is $64.58 for five 43979101 cartridges, each rated at 3,500 pages, so toner runs roughly 0.37 cents per page across the pack's 17,500 pages. A single cartridge at $27.70 costs about 0.79 cents per page — the pack more than halves it.
How much does the pack save in total?
Five singles would cost $138.50, so the saving is $73.92. On a B440 that prints every working day, that is money recovered simply by holding stock you were always going to use.
How long will five cartridges last our B440?
At 1,200 pages a month, one cartridge lasts just under three months and the pack about fourteen to fifteen months. At 600 a month, close to two and a half years — workable, but if your volume is lower than that, smaller packs bought more often are the smarter pattern.
Is the 43979101 definitely the B440's cartridge?
Yes — the B440 uses the 43979101 black cartridge, and this listing is five of them. You will find the number stamped on the cartridge you take out, which settles it before the new one goes in.
What if the first cartridge I install prints badly?
Try one re-seat first — a cartridge that is not fully home can print faint. If the output is still poor, it is a faulty unit: every cartridge in the pack carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, per our shipping and returns page. These are Clever Supplies compatibles, not Oki originals, and our team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
