Frequently Asked Questions

The title says "Toner Cartridges" — how many are actually in the box?

One. The plural wording is a quirk of the listing title; this is a single yellow cartridge, part number 106R01568, at $88.49. It is the only cartridge your Phaser 7800 needs in the yellow position, and one box restocks that position completely — there is no second cartridge hiding in the price and none missing from it either.

Why does a tabloid machine get through yellow faster than the rating implies?

Because of sheet size. The 17,200-page rating is built on standard pages at light coverage, but the Phaser 7800 prints up to tabloid — a single 11×17 sheet carries roughly twice the area of a letter page before you even count the artwork on it. A run of full-bleed posters can lay down more yellow in an afternoon than a month of office documents, so on this machine the rating is best read as a best case, not a promise.

Why do prints look washed out before they look wrong?

Yellow does much of its work in the pale end of the image — highlights, warm backgrounds, the light inside a photograph. When this cartridge weakens, those areas empty out first while the strong colours still print, so the page does not look broken, just tired and flat, as if the light had gone out of it. That washed-out feeling, with text still perfect, is the classic early signature of a fading yellow.

What happens to greens as this cartridge runs down?

They cool. Green is built from cyan and yellow together; take the yellow away and the cyan speaks louder, so grass drifts toward teal and a company's green branding slides blue. Because the change is gradual, the surest test is an older approved print held next to a fresh one — side by side, the drift that eyes adjusted to becomes obvious.

Is keeping a spare on the shelf sensible for this machine?

For most 7800 owners, yes. A cartridge rated at 17,200 pages can sit in the machine for a very long time, and long-lived cartridges get forgotten — until the day a tabloid job with a deadline meets an empty yellow position. One spare at $88.49 turns that day into a two-minute swap instead of a missed deadline.

What warranty and returns cover this cartridge?

A one-year warranty and free returns for a year, detailed on our shipping and returns page. Stock ships from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, help is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and the full range for the machine is gathered on the Xerox toner page.
