Frequently Asked Questions

Why check the yellow before a long colour run rather than during it?

Because a cartridge change in the middle of a run splits the job in two. The copies printed on a fading 106R01568 carry cooler greens and paler warmth than the copies printed on a fresh one, and side by side in the same stack the shift is obvious. Checking the level first — and swapping before the run if it is marginal — keeps all two hundred copies telling the same colour story on a Phaser 7800DX that exists for exactly this kind of work.

What does yellow trouble look like inside a solid background?

Bands. A large flat area of warm colour or pale tint is printed pass after pass, and a weakening yellow lays those passes unevenly, leaving faint stripes running across the sheet. Busy photographs hide the banding; it is the clean, empty backgrounds — the ones designers love — that expose it first, because there is nothing else on the page to look at.

The rating says 17,200 pages — why did ours run out sooner?

Coverage, almost every time. The rating assumes light, standard test pages; a production machine printing full-colour graphics, heavy backgrounds and tabloid sheets covers far more of every page, and yellow is spread across nearly all of it — every green, red, warm grey and skin tone draws on this cartridge. Finishing "early" against the rating usually means the work was richer than the test page, not that the cartridge was short.

Can you finish a job on a fading yellow, or should you stop?

It depends who reads the result. Internal drafts, layouts and anything destined for the meeting-room wall can ride a fading cartridge to the end. Client proofs and colour-approved work cannot — a proof printed on a tired yellow is quietly arguing for colours the fresh cartridge will not reproduce. Knowing which side of that line a job sits on is the whole judgement.

How many cartridges are in the box?

One — the listing title's plural wording notwithstanding. This is a single high-yield yellow cartridge for the yellow position, $88.49, rated at 17,200 pages (about 0.51 cents a page at test coverage). Nothing about the job needs a second box; one cartridge is the complete restock.

What guarantee stands behind it, and how fast does support answer?

A one-year warranty and free returns for a year stand behind it, detailed on our shipping and returns page. Stock ships from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. The machine's full range is on the Xerox toner page.
