Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a three-pack exist between the single cartridge and the five-pack?

Because three is where a lot of offices actually live. One cartridge in the printer and none spare invites a stockout; five on the shelf can be more commitment than a single machine justifies. This pack puts one ML-D3470B in service and two in reserve — 30,000 rated pages in total — which covers most mid-volume printers for the better part of a year while still capturing most of the bulk discount. It is the middle rung of the family ladder, priced like one.

What does each cartridge in this three-pack effectively cost?

The pack is $159.97, so each cartridge works out to $53.32 against $65.65 bought singly — $36.98 saved across the three, and the rated cost of a page drops from about 0.66 cents to about 0.53 cents. You give up a little ground to the five-pack's unit price in exchange for a smaller outlay and a shorter shelf commitment; the cartridges themselves are the identical high-yield ML-D3470B units either way.

How long will 30,000 pages last a typical office printer?

Translate it into paper: 30,000 pages is sixty reams. A printer getting through a ream a week takes a little over a year to empty this pack; at two reams a month, closer to two and a half years. If your machine's pace is faster — several reams a week — do the same sum and you may find the five-pack's lower unit price worth the bigger box. The pack size that fits is the one matched to your ream count, not the largest on the page.

Which printers does this three-pack serve?

Any machine on the ML-D3470B list: the cartridge is listed for the ML-3470D, ML-3470ND and ML-3471DK. The three cartridges in the box do not have to queue behind one printer — in a mixed office they can be split across machines as each runs low, which makes a three-pack a natural size for a small fleet as well as for a single busy printer. One code, one stock, several machines fed.

How should the two spare cartridges be kept?

In their sealed boxes, flat, in a cool dry place — an office cupboard is ideal, a shelf above a radiator is not. Toner in a sealed cartridge waits patiently; heat and damp are the enemies, not time. Use the spares in the order they arrived, and if the pack will sit for a while, a pencil note of the purchase date on the outer box keeps the rotation honest without any system at all.

What cover applies across the three-pack?

Each of the three cartridges is backed by a one-year warranty against defects, and free returns run for a full year from purchase — if one unit in the pack arrives faulty or fails early, that cartridge goes back on its own and the other two are unaffected. Full terms are published on the shipping and returns page, and the support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This ML-D3470B Three-Pack

Three high-yield ML-D3470B cartridges, 30,000 rated pages between them, at $159.97 — $53.32 a cartridge, about 0.53 cents a page, and $36.98 less than three singles bought one by one. It is the pack sized for the printer that works steadily but not relentlessly, and because the code fits the ML-3470D, ML-3470ND and ML-3471DK alike, it can just as easily serve as shared stock for a small fleet. Everything else in the office is covered by the Samsung toner cartridge range.
