Frequently Asked Questions

Why do poster and brochure runs burn through magenta so quickly?

Two multipliers stack up. An A3 sheet carries roughly twice the printable area of a letter sheet, and poster work covers that area with solid colour instead of text — so a single A3 poster can draw as much from the 006R01699 as twenty or more ordinary office pages. The cartridge is not underperforming; the pages are simply far thirstier than the documents the rating is based on.

How do we budget cartridges for a campaign print run?

Start from the rating — 15,000 pages at 5 percent coverage — and price the run by coverage, not by page count. At $141.96, the cartridge costs about 0.95 cents per standard page; a run of high-coverage A3 pieces should be budgeted at several times that per sheet. Counting the campaign as a number of "standard pages" first keeps the estimate honest and avoids a mid-run surprise.

What happens if the magenta gives out in the middle of a long run?

The copies stop matching. Sheets printed before the fade and sheets printed after it sit visibly side by side — reds shift orange, photographs turn sallow — and the batch has to be sorted or reprinted. On a ALTALINK C8055 doing campaign work, the cheap insurance is to check the supplies level and swap in a fresh 006R01699 before the run starts, not during it.

Does switching to coated paper change how much magenta a job uses?

The toner laid down is set by the file and the coverage, not by the paper — but coated stock shows colour more vividly at the same coverage, so results can look richer without using more toner. What coated paper will not do is rescue a fading cartridge: if the reds are drifting, the paper is not the problem and the 006R01699 is nearing its end.

How many cartridges are in the box?

One. This listing is a single 006R01699 magenta cartridge, sealed in its own packaging — there is no second cartridge or bundle in the carton. For a department planning back-to-back campaign runs, ordering two at once simply means the spare is already on the shelf when the first one fades.

What delivery and returns terms apply?

Each cartridge carries a one-year warranty and free returns for a full year, with the details on our shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. The wider range sits on the Xerox toner page.
