Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MC860 stop doing when the magenta runs out?

Full color. The MC860 can usually keep printing black-only work with a color cartridge empty, but anything that needs red — charts, logos, highlighted warnings, color copies — comes out wrong or not at all until the magenta is replaced. This listing is that replacement: cartridge 44059214, rated at 10,000 pages.

How long should one magenta last in an MC860?

The rating is 10,000 pages at standard coverage. An office printing mostly text with occasional color will stretch a magenta across many months; a workplace pushing color brochures or reports through the MC860 will turn it over much faster, because magenta is consumed on nearly every color page.

Why shop for it by printer name here?

Because this listing is the model-named twin of the 44059214 page. Offices that keep a supply list by part number order from that one; offices that just know they run an MC860 order from this one. The cartridge in the box, the $52.20 price and the 10,000-page rating are identical either way.

What does magenta cost per page on this machine?

About 0.52 cents — $52.20 across a 10,000-page rating, and the lowest per-page figure of the MC860's three colors, since the yellow and cyan sit at $53.77 each. The black for the same machine is the separate 44059216 cartridge.

Is this the genuine Oki cartridge?

No. It is a compatible cartridge manufactured to the same fit and yield specification and sold under the Clever Supplies name in our Okidata range. Offices choose it for the price difference; the page class and the slot it fills stay the same.

What if I fit it and the color is still wrong?

Talk to us first — support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST and can help separate a cartridge problem from a machine setting. Either way you are covered: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns apply, as our shipping and returns policy explains, and orders ship from IL, PA, GA or CA.
