Frequently Asked Questions

What is the magenta cartridge for the M255dw?

Code W2113A, the magenta member of the 206A set — '3' marks its slot. The Color LaserJet Pro M255dw takes four independent cartridges, and magenta is the red-making channel. Check the stamp on the unit you remove: W2113A out, W2113A in.

Brand reds off the M255dw have turned rusty. Why?

Red is a two-cartridge recipe — magenta over yellow. A fading magenta starves the mix, so reds rust, then brown; photos cool down and faces go grey at the same time. If the supplies page shows yellow holding up while magenta sinks, this cartridge alone restores the colour — no full set needed.

What is its rated life?

1,250 pages at 5% coverage. Magenta's real life on an M255dw tracks your palette: red-branded paperwork and warm imagery draw it steadily, while a blue-grey document diet barely sips it. It is entirely normal for this channel to empty at a different time from cyan and yellow.

Does duplex printing affect magenta differently?

Only in arithmetic: the rating counts printed sides, so two-sided colour documents consume the same toner over half the sheets. The M255dw's duplex habit stretches paper, not toner — expect magenta's page count to follow coverage, not sheet count.

What backs this cartridge?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns at $69.51. Streaks, leaks or a cartridge the M255dw will not accept mean a replacement or refund. Orders ship from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses; support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

After fitting, how do I verify the colour is truly back?

Print a page whose reds you know by heart — your own letterhead or a familiar photo. Calibration settles within the first couple of pages. If a cast persists, check the supplies page for a second low channel; the shipping and returns page is the starting point if a return is needed.

About This M255dw Magenta Cartridge

Magenta is the difference between your red and a rusty approximation of it. This W2113A cartridge, rated at 1,250 pages and priced at $69.51, is the focused fix for an HP M255dw whose logos have gone orange-brown — one cartridge, one swap, colour recipe restored.

The platform behind it spans Color Pro M255dw, Color Pro MFP M283fdw, Color Pro MFP M283cdw, Color Pro MFP M282nw, Color Pro MFP M2255nw and Color Pro MFP M283fdn; whichever one is sitting on the desk, this is its cartridge.

Its stablemates are the black W2110A, the cyan W2111A and the yellow W2112A; the high-yield W2113X carries the same colour at the other yield class, and the 206A four-colour set replaces the whole row in a single box.
