My MB470 prints have started streaking — is the cartridge at fault?
Streaks and faded bands are usually the first visible sign that a toner cartridge is near the end. As the 43979101 empties, toner stops feeding evenly and the page shows it before the printer reports anything. Try removing the cartridge and rocking it gently side to side; if the streaks clear for a while, the cartridge is simply running out, and if they never clear at all, check whether toner dust inside the machine just needs a wipe.
Once it starts fading, how many pages do I have left?
There is no exact counter, but fading typically appears in the last stretch of the cartridge's life — often the final few hundred pages of its 3,500-page rating. That is the right moment to order, rather than waiting for completely blank output in the middle of a job.
What does the toner in an MB470 cost per page?
At $27.70 per cartridge and a 3,500-page rating, you are paying about 0.79 cents per page — $7.92 per thousand pages. For a workgroup printer like the MB470, that keeps the toner line in an office budget small and easy to predict month to month.
Should the whole office wait for one cartridge, or keep a spare?
On a shared printer, a spare makes sense. A sealed 43979101 stores fine on a shelf if it is kept flat and away from heat and sunlight, and having one ready means the MB470 is back in service in the two minutes a swap takes, instead of waiting on a delivery.
What happens if I get a bad cartridge?
Every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year — a unit that fails early, leaks toner, or arrives damaged goes back at no cost to you. The details live on our shipping and returns page, and you can reach support Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
Where does my replacement ship from?
From one of four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — whichever is best placed for your address. Regional stocking is deliberate: it cuts the time between ordering a cartridge and having your MB470 printing again.
