Frequently Asked Questions

What does a printed page from this cartridge actually cost?

The plain arithmetic: $141.96 buys a 006R01700 rated at 15,000 pages, which is roughly 0.95 cents per page at standard 5 percent coverage. That is the budgeting figure for document-style colour. What a page really costs depends on how much of it you cover — a sparse memo page lands near the rate, a full-bleed poster page costs several times more in yellow alone.

Why do poster and display runs drain it so far ahead of the rating?

Two multipliers stack up. Coverage first: a poster can lay colour over nearly the whole sheet instead of the 5 percent the rating assumes. Format second: the ALTALINK C8055 prints A3, and an A3 sheet has about twice the printable area of letter size. A long A3 poster run can therefore draw the 006R01700 down at something like ten times the per-sheet rate of an ordinary memo.

What happens if it empties in the middle of a matched print run?

The second half of the run will not match the first. Yellow fades progressively, so sheets printed late in the cartridge's life carry cooler, bluer greens and weaker yellows than the early sheets — side by side, the batch looks like two different jobs. For matched sets, plan the swap between jobs rather than inside one, and keep the fresh 006R01700 ready before a long run begins.

How do we schedule cartridge changes around heavy production weeks?

Read the supplies level at the start of the week and budget pages, not days. If the panel shows the 006R01700 in its last fifth and a poster or brochure campaign is booked, change it before the campaign rather than nursing it through — the cost of one cartridge is small next to reprinting a mismatched batch, and the outgoing unit's remaining pages are better spent on internal work.

Is a single spare enough for a machine worked this hard?

For a C8055 on production duty, one spare on the shelf is the minimum sensible position, and busy sites often hold the next-but-one as well. The 006R01700 stores well sealed and upright, so depth costs little; running dry mid-campaign, with delivery days away, is the expensive outcome the shelf stock exists to prevent.

What warranty and delivery come with it?

Every cartridge is covered by a one-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year — the full wording lives on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. The full range lives on the Xerox toner page.

About This AltaLink C8055 Yellow Toner Cartridge

This is the single compatible yellow cartridge for the C8055, ordered by part number 006R01700 at $141.96. It is rated at 15,000 pages under standard coverage — the basis for the roughly 0.95-cents-per-page figure planners use — and it is the cartridge that decides whether a long production run holds its colour from the first sheet to the last. One cartridge per box, shipped on its own, with a one-year warranty and free returns for the same year behind it.

Yellow crosses the whole C8000 line — ALTALINK C8035, ALTALINK C8045, ALTALINK C8030, ALTALINK C8070 and ALTALINK C8055 share the 006R01700. The C8055's other slots take the 006R01699 magenta cartridge, 006R01698 cyan cartridge and 006R01697 black cartridge, each stocked separately.
