Frequently Asked Questions

The HY 6 color set costs the same $324.44 as the standard 6 color set. Is there any measurable difference?

Not in the figures published for either listing. Both sets cover the same three cartridges — 310-7891 cyan, 310-7893 magenta and 310-7895 yellow — at the same $324.44 price, the same $54.07 per-cartridge cost and the same stated 12,000-page rating per cartridge. The HY wording is part of how this listing is named; it does not come with a higher yield figure or a lower price than the standard listing. Choose either listing on convenience — the numbers you are buying are identical.

The three colors do not run out at the same speed. How does that affect holding six cartridges?

It means your stock depletes unevenly, and that is normal. Most 5110 offices find one color — often the 310-7891 cyan — empties noticeably faster than the 310-7893 magenta or 310-7895 yellow, because everyday documents lean on some colors more than others. With six cartridges on the shelf the practical approach is to track usage by part number rather than by set: note which code you install and when, and reorder the fast-moving color on its own instead of waiting until all three positions are empty.

How do I keep reordering straight across three different part numbers?

Use the part numbers as your reorder keys, because they are unambiguous in a way color names sometimes are not on purchase orders. The 310-7891 is cyan, the 310-7893 is magenta and the 310-7895 is yellow. A simple shelf label or stock note per code, with a reorder point of one unopened cartridge remaining, keeps a production printer like the 5110 from ever stopping for toner while avoiding over-ordering the slow colors.

What is the per-page math at this pack size?

At $324.44 for six cartridges you are paying $54.07 per cartridge, and against the 12,000-page rating that works out to roughly 0.45 cents per page for each color position — down from about 0.48 cents per page in the 3 color set. Versus ordering two 3 color sets at $342.94, this set saves $18.50. A full-color page draws from all three cartridges plus black, so treat the per-position figure as the comparison number, not the whole cost of a color page.

Does this set give me everything for a complete four-color refresh of the printer?

No, and it is worth being clear about that before ordering. This set contains color cartridges only — the 310-7891, 310-7893 and 310-7895. There is no black cartridge in the box. If your 5110's black is also low, add the black cartridge as a separate line so the printer is fully refreshed in one maintenance pass instead of stopping again a week later.

Where does the set ship from, and who do I contact with a problem?

Orders ship from whichever of the four warehouses — IL, PA, GA or CA — is positioned to reach you soonest, and every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns under the terms on the shipping and returns page. The support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want a hand matching the 310-7891, 310-7893 and 310-7895 against the cartridges currently in your machine.
