Frequently Asked Questions

The name says "Toner Cartridges" — plural. How many are in the box?

One. The plural is catalog wording, not a count: this listing is a single cyan cartridge, the 106R01278, sold on its own for $31.86. Nothing about it is a multipack — there is no second unit in the box and no bundle discount hidden in the price. If your Phaser 6130 needs only its cyan replaced, one of these is the complete order. If you want a shelf spare as well, order two listings and you will receive two individually boxed cartridges.

We print mostly black text. Why is the cyan the first cartridge to run out?

Because "mostly text" pages are rarely toner-black alone. The blue of a hyperlink, the navy of a letterhead, the colored bars of a chart, a logo in the corner — nearly all of it is built from cyan. Many offices also print in a composite mode where even gray shading is mixed from the three colors instead of the black cartridge. Page after page, those small blue accents draw steadily on the 106R01278 while the yellow and magenta sit nearly untouched. Cyan dying first in a text-heavy office is not a defect; it is a fingerprint of where the color on your pages actually comes from.

What does this cartridge cost me per page, honestly?

At $31.86 for a cartridge rated at 1,900 pages, the rated cost is about 1.7 cents per page. That figure assumes the standard 5% coverage the whole industry rates against. A page carrying a full-width blue banner or a large chart spends several times that, so your real cost per page floats with your documents — heavy graphics push it up, plain correspondence pulls it down. The rating's real value is comparison: measured on the same yardstick, this unit's cost per page is the number to set against any other 6130 cyan cartridge you are considering.

Can I shake the old cartridge to get more pages out of it?

A gentle rock side to side can redistribute the toner left in the reservoir and buy you a short reprieve — sometimes a few dozen pages — when a job has to finish today. Treat it as a bridge, not a refill: the toner it stirs up was already counted, the cartridge is still effectively empty, and print quality during those pages is on borrowed time, with streaks likely to return mid-document. When the low warning appears, the sensible move is to order the replacement the same day and let the shake trick cover only the gap until it arrives.

The low-toner warning just came on. Do I swap now or wait until prints actually fail?

Order now, swap later. The warning is calibrated to leave you a working margin, and cyan rarely fails politely — it degrades gradually, so the first "failure" is usually a batch of subtly wrong color prints nobody catches until they have left the building. Keep printing on the old 106R01278 until the color visibly shifts, but have this replacement in the building before that day. Changing it takes about a minute with no tools: open the cover, pull the old unit straight out, drop the new one in, close up and print.

What cover do I get with this cartridge, and how fast does it ship?

It is covered by a one-year warranty with free returns for a full year — a cartridge that arrives damaged, leaks, or fails early comes back to us at no cost to you. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, whichever puts the box on the shortest route to you; the complete policy is on our shipping and returns page. If you need a person, support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Phaser 6130 Cyan Cartridge (106R01278)

Sold for the Phaser 6130 and its network twin, the Phaser 6130N, this Clever Supplies compatible cartridge replaces the Xerox 106R01278 cyan unit. Despite the plural in the listing name, it is one cartridge: 1,900 rated pages at $31.86, roughly 1.7 cents per page at standard coverage. In most 6130s this is the color that works hardest — every blue link, chart bar and logo on your pages is drawn from it — so it is usually the first cartridge the printer asks for and the one worth keeping a spare of. It installs in about a minute with no tools and no settings to change, and the printer carries on tracking the remaining colors exactly as before.
