Frequently Asked Questions

Will my colours still match older printouts after I change cartridges?

Fresh cartridges bring the mix back to the printer's calibrated baseline, which is what you want. Colour drift usually creeps in as cartridges age at different rates — a tired magenta beside a strong cyan slowly pushes blues toward green without any single page looking wrong. Renewing the three colour bays from one box resets that balance in a single pass, so a brochure reprinted next month sits comfortably beside the run you produced last quarter.

What is inside the box, cartridge by cartridge?

Three cartridges, one for each colour bay: cyan is the 106R01392, magenta is the 106R01393 and yellow is the 106R01394. Every unit carries its code and colour on the label, so the swap is a code-matching exercise rather than guesswork. Black is not part of this set — the 6280's black cartridge is its own separate listing — which means this box deals purely with the colour side of the machine.

How far does the set go, and what does a cartridge work out to?

Each of the three cartridges is rated at 5,900 pages under the standard test method of roughly 5% coverage, giving the set 17,700 rated colour pages in total. At $130.81 for the box, each cartridge comes to about $43.60 and the rated cost lands near 0.74 cents a page. Real output shifts with what you print: dense colour reports consume faster than the rating, while letters carrying a colour logo and a table can meet it or pass it.

One colour band is streaking while the rest of the page looks fine. Do I open all three?

No. A fault that lives in one band of colour belongs to one bay. Run the printer's built-in test page and find which solid bar prints broken or pale — that bar names the cartridge to change. Fit that one from the set and leave the other two sealed in the box; unopened cartridges simply wait on the shelf at full rating until their turn comes. Opening everything at once gains nothing.

Which printer models does this set serve?

The set is built for the Phaser 6280 and the Phaser 6280DN, and the 6280N drinks from the same three codes as well. The suffixes mark networking and automatic two-sided printing; the colour bays and the codes 106R01392, 106R01393 and 106R01394 stay the same across the family, so a single shelf box supports any of these machines.

What happens if a cartridge from the set turns out faulty?

Send that one unit back. Every cartridge in the box is covered individually by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a dud is replaced or refunded without disturbing the cartridges already working in your printer. Parcels leave from the closest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, a support team is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the full delivery and returns detail sits on our shipping & returns page.

This $130.81 box restores the complete colour side of the Phaser 6280 family in one purchase: one cyan 106R01392, one magenta 106R01393 and one yellow 106R01394, each rated at 5,900 pages. It suits the owner who wants colour consistency back in a single maintenance visit — swap the bay that has failed today, keep the remaining cartridges sealed, and the next colour stoppage is already answered. Each unit carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and the separate black cartridge along with the rest of the Xerox catalogue can be ordered alongside.
