Frequently Asked Questions

Oranges and golds from our MF656CDW look dull and greenish — what is going on?

Yellow is fading. Orange is magenta plus yellow, gold is yellow with a little company, and when the yellow supply weakens those warm colors lose their base: oranges go muddy, golds pick up a greenish tinge, and greens themselves swing cold toward teal. This listing is the Canon 067H yellow for the MF656CDW, code 5103C001. The test page will show it as the pale, uneven block among the four — the one your eye wants to skip, which is rather the point with yellow.

What does this cartridge cost per page, placed next to the standard 067?

About 2.21 cents per rated page: $51.90 over 2,350 pages. The standard-yield 067 yellow runs about 5.14 cents: $64.27 over 1,250 pages. Read that again slowly, because it is unusual — the high-yield Canon 067H yellow is the cheaper cartridge to purchase and the cheaper cartridge per page, by a margin of more than half. On a shared machine like the MF656CDW, running the 067H line is where the supply budget quietly gets smaller.

Why did nobody in the office notice the yellow dying?

Because yellow is engineered by nature to be overlooked. It contributes to greens, oranges, golds, and skin tones while being barely visible on its own, so its decline gets reported as "the colors look off lately" rather than as a missing color. Teams chase files, screens, and settings first. The cartridge-level truth is simpler and cheaper: when warm colors dull and greens cool on this machine, check the yellow block on a test page before anything else.

How realistic is 2,350 pages for a shared office machine?

The rating assumes 5% coverage per page, so a shared machine's real total lands below it by an amount set by its graphics load — heavy color users will see noticeably fewer, light users will come close. What holds regardless is the near-doubling over the standard cartridge's 1,250 pages: whatever your office's true number is, the standard yellow would have quit at about half of it, at a higher price per cartridge.

When yellow goes, do its siblings usually follow?

Not on any schedule you can plan by. Black 5106C001, cyan 5105C001, magenta 5104C001, and yellow 5103C001 are consumed by different parts of your documents, so their levels drift apart — that is normal, not a fault. The sound practice is to replace this yellow now and let each other cartridge be judged by its own symptoms when they appear. Buying all four to fix one is the expensive way to feel tidy.

What cover backs the purchase?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with details on our shipping & returns page. We dispatch from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, or California — the nearest warehouse to you — and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Canon MF656CDW 067H Yellow Cartridge

Rated at 2,350 pages for $51.90, this compatible Canon 067H yellow cartridge (5103C001) serves the imageCLASS MF656CDW at roughly 2.21 cents per rated page. Its counterpart, the standard 067 yellow, costs $64.27 for 1,250 pages — so the 067H costs less, lasts close to twice as long, and halves the per-page cost in the same move. In the printer, yellow is the silent partner in greens, oranges, and golds; its slow fade corrupts all three while looking like nothing at all, which is why offices so often misdiagnose it. This cartridge replaces the yellow alone, leaving the black 5106C001, cyan 5105C001, and magenta 5104C001 in service. It is covered by our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and the full Canon range is on our Canon toner page.

The same cartridge serves the LBP-633CDW, MF651CW, MF653CDW, MF654CDW, MF655CDW, MF655CW, MF656CDW, LBP-631C and LBP-632CDW. The family around it: the Canon 067H magenta cartridge, the Canon 067H black cartridge and the Canon 067H cyan cartridge fill the other color slots, the complete Canon 067H four-cartridge set replaces everything at once, and the standard-yield Canon 067 yellow cartridge is the other-yield option for this color.
