Frequently Asked Questions
Which code marks the magenta cartridge in this range?
TK867M — the trailing M is the identifier. Every color in this family shares the TK867 base, so a single letter does all the sorting: read the last character on the old cartridge's label and match it to TK867M before you order, and the magenta slot is the one you will be filling.
What fades first when the magenta is nearly empty?
Faces. Magenta is the warmth in skin tones, so portraits turn sallow and greenish-gray while red logos drift toward orange and brick tones lose their depth. Blues and yellows hold up longer, which makes magenta's decline easy to misread as a settings problem — print one color test page and the weak channel names itself.
Does magenta really run out at a different pace from the other colors?
It can. Print mixes are rarely even: a run of brochures with warm photography leans hard on magenta, while chart-heavy reports barely touch it. That is exactly why this cartridge is sold on its own — you replace the color your work actually consumed instead of retiring three cartridges that still have life in them.
Is the TK867M a full-capacity cartridge?
Yes. It carries the complete 12,000-page rating at standard coverage, the same yield as a full replacement unit — nothing about it is a reduced starter fill. Photo-dense pages will draw it down faster than plain documents, but the starting fill is the full one.
How long does changing it take?
A couple of minutes, with no tools and no technician. On the TASKalfa 250ci the magenta sits in its own bay: open the cover, slide the spent unit out, seat the new one until it settles, and close up. The neighboring cartridges never come out of the machine.
What if the new cartridge prints badly?
It is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, spelled out in our shipping & returns policy. A unit that streaks, fades early or fails inside the year goes back free — the cover runs for a full year from delivery, not from the day the box is opened.
Is there a way to spot magenta fading earlier next time?
Save one good print now, while the TK867M is fresh — a page with faces and red branding — and keep it by the machine as a reference. Months from now, comparing a current print against that reference shows the drift long before it becomes obvious on unfamiliar documents. Fading creeps in gradually, and a fixed reference turns a vague feeling into a clear yes-or-no.
The spare magenta sat sealed on the shelf for months — anything to do before fitting it?
Give it a gentle side-to-side rock before it goes into the TASKalfa 250ci, so the toner inside is leveled after its long rest. A sealed cartridge keeps its full 12,000-page capacity in storage, but toner settles while it waits, and those few seconds of rocking are what keep the first pages even instead of streaked while the fill redistributes itself in use.
Faces still look wrong with a brand-new magenta fitted — what else could it be?
Another slot. Skin tones are built from all three colors, so a fading cyan or yellow can distort faces even with a full TK867M in place. Print the color test page and read each band on its own before blaming the new cartridge; the pale band names the real culprit, and it may be a different color from the one you just replaced.
What should we do with the spent magenta once it is out?
Hold it until the replacement has printed cleanly through a few ordinary days of work. If the new TK867M performs as it should, the empty can leave with your usual office disposal. If a unit ever streaks or fails well inside its year, keep that one apart from the empties pile — it is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, and it may be needed for the return.
About This TK867M Magenta Cartridge
Offices tend to discover this cartridge through their photographs: when faces lose their warmth and red branding slides orange, the magenta is usually the slot asking for help. This TK867M is the single magenta refill for the Kyocera TASKalfa 250ci, rated at 12,000 pages and priced at $77.44 in our Kyocera-Mita compatible range. Buying it alone keeps the other three cartridges in service until their own turn comes, which is the economical way to run a color machine whose colors never empty on the same day. Orders are dispatched from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want a hand confirming the code first.
