Frequently Asked Questions

Where does magenta actually show up in everyday printing?

In logos, headings, red accents, skin tones, and any pink or purple shade. Magenta is the color people notice first when it fades, because brand colors and faces go wrong immediately. The TN310M is rated for 1,500 pages at $34.94.

Which printers accept this magenta cartridge?

It is made for DCP-9050CDN, DCP-9055CDN, DCP-9270CDN, HL-4140CN, HL-4150CDN, HL-4570CDW, HL-4570CDWT, HL-4750CDW, HL-4750CDWT, MFC-9460CDN, MFC-9465CDN, MFC-9560CDW and MFC-9970, the Brother models that use the TN310 family. If your printer is on that list, this cartridge drops straight in.

How do I know magenta is the problem and not something else?

Reds print orange or washed out, purples turn blue, and skin tones go gray-green. When only the warm colors are wrong and blues and yellows look fine, magenta is almost always the cartridge to replace.

Is it worth replacing magenta alone, or should I buy a set?

Replace it alone. Color cartridges are independent, so there is no penalty for swapping just the empty one. A set only makes sense when two or more colors are low together — otherwise the single keeps more money in your pocket.

What if the new magenta prints the wrong shade?

That is covered. Compatible cartridges carry a one-year warranty, and if a cartridge is defective it can be returned free within a year. Support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the process is explained on the shipping and returns page.

Does magenta last as long as black?

No — magenta is rated for 1,500 pages versus 2,500 for the TN310BK black, which is normal for color cartridges. If you print a lot of color, expect to replace magenta roughly twice as often as black.
