Frequently Asked Questions

Magenta always seems to run out first here — how do we stop it stopping a job?

Keep one of these on the shelf. Offices that print photos, flyers and presentation decks draw magenta down faster than the other colors, and the failure always lands mid-run — a brochure batch that starts fine and ends orange. A single spare Canon 118 magenta (2660B001AA) in the supply cupboard converts that emergency into a two-minute cartridge swap. Store it sealed, flat and away from heat, mark the arrival month on the box, and reorder when the spare goes into the machine rather than when the machine stops.

Should we order this single magenta or the 3-color set?

It depends on the age of the other two colors, and the test page tells you. This single is $43.30. The 3-color set is $92.93 for all three colors, which prices each cartridge at $30.98 — so if your cyan and yellow are also near the end, the set saves you real money and one ordering round. If magenta is the only tired color, buying the set means paying for two cartridges you do not need yet. Match the purchase to the test page, not to the discount.

How long does one 2660B001AA last at our pace?

At the rated 2,900 pages, an office printing 200 color pages a month stretches one magenta past a year; at 500 color pages a month it lasts around six months; a marketing-heavy desk at 1,000 color pages a month should expect roughly a quarter from it. Those are coverage-dependent estimates — pages dense with photos spend magenta far faster than pages with a red chart — but they are the right scale for planning when to reorder.

Which Canon machines does this magenta belong to?

The Canon 118 family's imageCLASS color machines: multifunction models such as the ImageClass MF8350, MF8380CDW, MF8330, MF8330CDN and MF8580CDW, and printers such as the LBP7200, LBP7200CDN and LBP7660CDN. Your machine's supply list will name it either as Canon 118 magenta or by its part number, 2660B001AA — the two labels describe this same cartridge. It fits the magenta slot only; the family's black is a separate cartridge rated at 3,400 pages.

Is there any trick to installing it for the best first print?

Two small habits make the difference. Before installing, hold the cartridge level and rock it gently side to side a few times so the toner inside is evenly distributed after its journey. Then, once it is in, run the printer's color calibration and print one test page before launching a long job — you confirm the reds are back while the evidence costs a single sheet. If that test page shows streaks in the magenta strip, contact us before printing the run; the cartridge is covered either way.

What cover backs this cartridge if something goes wrong?

A 1-year warranty against defects and 1-year free returns if it does not perform as it should — the same protection behind every cartridge on this site. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. For a spare destined to sit on a shelf for months, that returns window matters: the cover runs from your purchase, and a cartridge that misbehaves when its turn finally comes is not your loss.
