Frequently Asked Questions

Honestly — who should NOT buy a 5-pack for their MB471W MFP?

If the machine prints only occasionally — a few dozen pages a month — a 5-pack is more supply than you need. Five 44574701 cartridges hold up to 20,000 pages between them, and at very light volume that could take many years to use. A single cartridge at $28.45, or a smaller quantity, is the more sensible buy in that case. The pack earns its keep where the MB471W MFP prints and copies regularly, week in and week out.

For the offices that should buy it, what does the pack save?

The pack is $68.28. Five cartridges bought one at a time at $28.45 would cost $142.25, so the saving is $73.97, and the per-cartridge cost falls to about $13.66. With each cartridge rated at up to 4,000 pages, toner works out to roughly 0.34 cents per page. For a multifunction that also copies, that volume of printing arrives sooner than most people expect.

Does the copying workload on an MFP change the calculation?

It does — copies consume the same cartridge as prints, so an MB471W MFP in a copy-heavy office can work through a 4,000-page cartridge noticeably faster than print counts alone suggest. That is exactly the situation where the honest answer flips: what looks like over-buying for a light printer is a reasonable shelf stock for a machine making copies all day.

What if our usage drops after we have bought the pack?

The sealed cartridges will wait. Toner does not spoil quickly, and cartridges kept in their packaging in a cool, dry place remain usable for a long time. You are not forced into a consumption schedule; the worst case is that the pack lasts longer than planned. Keep the spares flat, out of sunlight, and use them oldest-first.

What protection comes with the pack if a cartridge disappoints?

These are compatible 44574701 cartridges rather than original Oki-branded ones, and each is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. If a cartridge prints poorly, the return route is open regardless of which of the five it is. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders are dispatched from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA.

How will we know when the installed cartridge is done?

Prints and copies turn lighter, blacks go gray, and one side of the page often fades ahead of the other. Rocking the cartridge side to side can redistribute the last of the toner for a few more acceptable pages, but once fading returns straight away, swap in a spare from the pack — on a shared MFP, a two-minute swap beats a day of pale copies.

About This Okidata MB471W MFP 5-Pack

This pack of five compatible 44574701 black cartridges for the Okidata MB471W MFP — up to 4,000 pages each, 20,000 in total — is aimed squarely at machines in regular daily use. At $68.28 it undercuts five single cartridges ($142.25) by $73.97, bringing toner to about $13.66 a cartridge and roughly 0.34 cents a page; light-use owners are better served by singles, and the pack makes no apology for that. Every cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — see the shipping & returns page for details, and the Okidata page for the wider range.
