Frequently Asked Questions

Which cyan cartridge does the Color LaserJet 2600 take?

The Q6001A, cyan of the 124A family. The original desktop Color LaserJet 2600 and its networked sibling draw on the same cyan cartridge, and this compatible Q6001A is its replacement at $53.89.

Why have my prints turned warm and yellowish?

Because cyan is the counterweight to red and yellow on the page. As the Q6001A empties, that balance tips: whites take on a warm cast, blues slide toward purple, and skin tones in photographs look sunburned. A fresh cyan cartridge is what restores the balance.

How is this cartridge rated?

About 2,000 pages at standard test coverage. The 2600 was a home-and-small-office machine, and at that duty this rating typically stretches across a long span of mixed printing — letters with color letterheads, school projects, the occasional photo.

Where does this cartridge sit in the printer?

In the cyan position behind the 2600's front door, alongside the machine's other 124A slots under the same cover as the Color LaserJet 1600 family it belongs to. The swap is the family routine: door open, old cartridge out by its handle, seal pulled from the new one, gentle rock, in it goes.

Must the other cartridges come out for this?

No. Each cartridge lifts out independently, and the rest can stay exactly where they are while the cyan is changed. There is no need to disturb a cartridge that is still printing well — replace on symptoms, one at a time.

What backing does the purchase carry?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, support Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and dispatch from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California warehouses. Compatibles across our HP range are covered the same way; the shipping & returns page has the terms.

About This 2600 Cyan Cartridge

The Color LaserJet 2600 brought real color laser printing to the single desk, and a faded cyan is usually the first thing that makes its output look its age. This $53.89 Q6001A answers precisely that: the correct cartridge, a 2,000-page rating, and the cool half of the color palette back where it belongs.
