Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is in this 3 colour set?

Three cartridges — one of each colour your Phaser uses. The cyan is the 106R01627, the magenta is the 106R01628 and the yellow is the 106R01629, so a single box refreshes the complete colour side of the machine in one go. There is no black cartridge in this set: the black for this platform is a separate cartridge (the 106R01630) with its own listing, and most owners find their black still has life left when the colours need attention.

Why would I replace all three colours at the same time?

Because colour cartridges installed together tend to age together. They went in on the same day, they have been drawn on by the same documents ever since, and when the first one starts to fade, the other two are usually not far behind. Swapping the full trio at once resets the whole palette to a known-good state instead of chasing one washed-out colour after another over the following weeks — one delivery, one short maintenance session, and colour output you can trust again.

Our prints look off but I cannot tell which colour is failing. Does this set solve that?

Yes, and that is one of its most practical uses. A weak cyan drags blues toward purple, a weak magenta turns reds orange, and a weak yellow makes greens look muddy — when two colours are fading at once, the symptoms mix and page-by-page diagnosis becomes guesswork. Replacing all three cartridges together removes the uncertainty entirely: whatever combination was running low is gone, and if a colour problem somehow survived a full fresh set, you would know to look at the printer itself rather than the toner.

How many pages does this set give me?

Each cartridge in the set — the cyan 106R01627, the magenta 106R01628 and the yellow 106R01629 — is rated at 1,400 pages under the standard test method at roughly 5% page coverage, so the set carries 4,200 rated pages of colour capacity in total. Real life varies with what you print: a month of full-colour brochures spends colour far faster than a month of letters with a small colour logo. At $56.93 for the set, each cartridge works out to about $18.98.

Do the three cartridges have to go in any particular order?

No special sequence is required. Power the printer down if its manual asks for it, then swap each cartridge into the bay marked for its colour — cyan, magenta and yellow are not interchangeable, and each unit only seats correctly in its own slot. Once all three are in, print a test page and check that the colour patches come out dense and even; that page is your confirmation that the refresh took.

What cover and delivery come with this set?

Every cartridge in the set is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a unit that misbehaves early goes back for a replacement or refund rather than becoming your problem. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want help confirming this is the right set for your machine. Rates, timelines and the returns process are set out on our shipping & returns page.

About This 3 Colour Set

This is the complete colour refresh for the Phaser 6000 family in a single box: one cyan 106R01627, one magenta 106R01628 and one yellow 106R01629, each rated at 1,400 pages, together priced at $56.93. It fits the Phaser 6000, Phaser 6010, Phaser 6010N, WorkCentre 6015, WorkCentre 6015V/B and WorkCentre 6015V/N. Buying the three colours as a matched set means they start their working lives together and fade on the same schedule, which keeps colour balance predictable between refreshes. The wider Xerox range is browsable on the site, and every order is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns.
