Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the black cartridge on our CLX-6200FX always give out long before the colors?

Because it does nearly all the work. Letters, invoices, forms and reports are black output, and every copy the machine makes draws on the same black supply. The color cartridges only wake up for color pages, so on a typical office machine the black empties first — often long first. A 5,500-page high-yield fill is the practical answer to that imbalance.

The cartridge we pulled out is stamped CLP-K660B — is this listing that same supply?

Yes. The code on the cartridge body is the identity that matters, and this listing is the CLP-K660B: the high-yield black for the CLP-610ND, CLP-660N, CLP-660ND, CLX-6200FX, CLX-6200ND and CLX-6210FX. Match the code, not the headline wording, and you have the right cartridge.

Our CLX spends half its day copying — do copies spend this toner too?

They do. A copy is a print, and it draws black toner exactly as a printed page does, which surprises offices that think of copying as separate from printing. Scanning and incoming faxes held in memory spend nothing; the moment paper comes out, the CLP-K660B is paying for it.

What does one cartridge cost to run?

Priced at $67.49 against a 5,500-page rating, the running cost works out at about 1.23 cents a page at the standard test coverage. Dense pages cost more in toner terms, light text pages less, but as a budgeting figure for a busy multifunction machine it is a sound one.

Is there a smaller option if our machine barely prints?

There is — the same platform takes a standard-yield sibling, the CLP-K660A, which suits machines that print lightly and occasionally. This high-yield version is the better fit where the machine works daily; putting a big fill in a rarely used printer simply ties money up on the shelf inside the machine.

If the cartridge is faulty on arrival, what can we do?

Send it back without it costing you anything: returns are free for the whole first year, and the cartridge carries a one-year warranty against defects in that same period. Our shipping & returns page walks through the process, and the support team is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
