Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is inside the box when this three-color set arrives?
Three separate cartridges, one in each color, and nothing else to assemble. The cyan cartridge is the 113R00723, the magenta cartridge is the 113R00724, and the yellow cartridge is the 113R00725, with each unit boxed and sealed on its own so it can be fitted or stored independently of the other two. There is no black cartridge in this set: black for this printer is a separate listing, ordered on its own when that slot runs down. If you are restocking a machine whose colors have all been in service for a long while, this box renews the complete color side in a single order at $164.78, while the black slot carries on exactly as before.
Do I have to fit all three cartridges on the same day, or can I change them one at a time?
One at a time is perfectly fine, and for most offices it is the better routine. The three colors are consumed at different rates, so the set works as a small shelf stock as much as an immediate replacement: fit whichever color the printer is calling for, and leave the other two sealed in their boxes until their turn comes. Nothing about the set ties the three units to a shared fitting date. On a multifunction model such as the Phaser 6180MFP, each swap is still the same short single-slot change, done when that color fades rather than when the delivery lands.
We have a big color job coming up — is there a case for changing all three together instead?
Yes, and a deadline is exactly when that case is strongest. A long run of brochures, proposals or event handouts asks every color to work hard on every sheet, so starting it with one fresh cartridge alongside two tired ones invites a mid-run stoppage or a visible shift in color partway through the stack. Fitting all three beforehand puts the whole color side at the same starting point: balanced output from the first page to the last, and no pause while a replacement is hunted down. Offices running a networked Phaser 6180dn for shared deadline work often treat a full color refresh as part of preparing for the run itself.
What does 6,000 pages per cartridge and 18,000 pages combined actually mean in practice?
Each of the three cartridges carries its own 6,000-page rating, and the 18,000-page figure is simply those three ratings added together — a measure of the total color capacity in the box, not a pool that can be spent however you like. Cyan pages cannot be borrowed against an untouched yellow supply: a document heavy in blues and greens draws down the cyan rating quickly while barely touching the others, and a warm, photograph-led document does the reverse. Read the ratings as three parallel budgets that empty at the speed your own mix of pages dictates, whether the machine is a desktop unit or a shared Phaser 6180n.
How should I store and keep track of the cartridges I am not fitting straight away?
Keep each unopened unit flat in its sealed bag, in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and resist opening a box early just to look inside. Because the three cartridges share the same shape, the habit that prevents mistakes is a simple one: when the set arrives, note the color against each code — 113R00723 cyan, 113R00724 magenta, 113R00725 yellow — and store the boxes with their labels facing out. That way the cartridge you pick up months later, mid-job and in a hurry, is identified by its printed code before it ever reaches the printer, and the slot it belongs in is never in doubt.
What cover applies to this set if one cartridge faults, and how do delivery and support work?
The set is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and that cover applies to the cartridges as individual units: if one color faults, streaks or gives up early, you are dealing with that one cartridge, not surrendering the healthy colors alongside it. Orders are dispatched from whichever of our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA is best placed for your address, and support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want to talk through a faulty print before arranging anything. The complete wording is on our shipping and returns page.
About This Compatible Xerox 6180 Three-Color Toner Set
This is a Clever Supplies compatible three-color set for the Xerox Phaser 6180 platform, priced at $164.78 and built around the three high-yield color cartridges the machine depends on for everything beyond plain black text: 113R00723 in cyan, 113R00724 in magenta and 113R00725 in yellow, rated at 6,000 pages each. Bought together, they let an office handle color the way the printer actually consumes it — unevenly, color by color — because the full replacement stock is already on the shelf when the first warning appears, and the remaining units wait sealed until their own slots need them.
The set serves the whole family covered by this platform: the Phaser 6180 itself, the Phaser 6180MFPN and the Phaser 6180MFPD, together with the 6180MFP, 6180dn and 6180n versions already mentioned above. Black is not part of this set and continues to be ordered as its own separate listing. However you choose to use the three cartridges — fitted together ahead of a major run, or drawn down one by one across many months — the set keeps the color side of the printer covered in a single, complete restock.
