Frequently Asked Questions

Why do reds and skin tones look wrong when magenta gets low?

Magenta is the red-making component in every color print — reds are built from magenta plus yellow, and faces, brick, wood, and warm tones all lean on it heavily. As the cartridge fades, reds wash toward orange and photographs of people start looking pale and cold, often before any low-toner warning appears.

How many pages should I expect from this magenta cartridge?

It is rated at 10,500 pages, which assumes the standard roughly 5% coverage per color. A photo-heavy workflow covers far more of each page, so a marketing or real-estate office printing brochures all day will see noticeably fewer pages than a general office printing the occasional color chart.

What does magenta work out to per page?

At $64.98 over 10,500 rated pages, roughly 0.62 cents per page for the magenta component. That is the highest per-page figure of the four cartridges on this platform, which is typical — color components cost more per page than the 16,500-page black cartridge.

The listing names the IMC2000. Is magenta limited to that one model?

It is not. The 842309 magenta cartridge is shared by the entire Ricoh IM C2000 and IM C2500 platform, and the title simply picks one model from that family to name. Whichever machine in the family you run, this is its magenta cartridge.

Should I replace magenta on its own or wait for the other colors?

On its own, as soon as it is done. The three colors deplete at different rates depending on what you print, and there is no benefit to retiring a healthy cyan or yellow early. Individual replacement keeps each cartridge's full yield working for you.

How am I protected if the cartridge disappoints?

Every cartridge is covered by a one-year warranty, and you have a full year of free returns as well. Terms are spelled out on our shipping and returns page, and our team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
