Frequently Asked Questions

Our company red is printing as a rusty orange — is this cartridge the cause?

Very likely, yes. A strong brand red is printed as a heavy layer of magenta over yellow, and it is the most magenta-hungry colour in most corporate palettes. As the 006R01699 fades, the magenta layer thins first and the yellow underneath pushes the red toward rust and orange — long before ordinary text pages show anything wrong.

Why do logos drift before everyday documents look faded?

Because saturated colours are unforgiving. A letter at 5 percent coverage can lose a fifth of its magenta and still look like a letter; a solid logo block at full coverage shows every percent of the loss as a visible colour shift. That is why the brand sheet, not the memo, is the page that tells you the state of the 006R01699 in a ALTALINK C8045.

How should we proof-check before a client-facing print run?

Print one copy of the actual branded document — the cover, the logo page — and judge it in daylight next to a copy printed when the cartridge was fresh. Check the red first, then skin tones in any photographs, then purples. If the red has moved, swap in the new 006R01699 before the run rather than after the client has seen the proof.

What yield should we plan around for brochure and proposal work?

Plan below the headline. The rating is 15,000 pages at 5 percent coverage, and a proposal with a full-bleed cover, colour section dividers and charts lives far above 5 percent. Offices doing regular branded runs commonly see effective yields a third to a half of the rated figure — the cartridge is the same, the pages are simply hungrier.

Will a fresh cartridge reproduce the same red as the batch we printed last month?

Yes — the toner formulation is consistent from cartridge to cartridge, so a new 006R01699 returns the machine to the same red rather than a slightly different one. Give the first few sheets after a swap a glance before starting the real run, then print with confidence that the colour will hold steady through the batch.

What warranty and returns cover come with it?

The cartridge is covered by a one-year warranty, with free returns for a full year; the terms are laid out on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. More of the range is on the Xerox toner page.
