Frequently Asked Questions

We copy more than we print. Does copying draw on this magenta the same way?

Yes — on the WorkCentre 6515, a colour copy and a colour print drink from the same four cartridges, so every colour copy of a letterhead, a photo or a signed form draws its share of 106R03691 magenta. That is why a machine that "hardly prints" can still empty its colours: the copy glass is doing the work. Black-and-white copies, scans and faxes touch nothing in this bay — only colour output counts against this cartridge.

What does the 2,400-page rating mean for a shared office machine?

The 106R03691 on this listing is rated at up to 2,400 pages at the standard 5% coverage measure. On a shared 6515 turning out around 150 colour pages and copies a month, that is well over a year between magenta changes; a busier desk at 400 colour pages a month will see the changeover roughly twice a year. Coverage is the swing factor: a full-colour copied page can spend several times the toner of a page carrying a small red logo, so a month of copying colour brochures counts far heavier than a month of forms.

Why do faces in our copied photos look wrong before anything else does?

Skin is where a tiring magenta shows first. Faces are built from fine magenta and yellow blends, so as the 106R03691 runs down, complexions drift — sunburned one week, grey-green the next — while bold colours still look almost normal and black text stays crisp. If the original photo looks right and the copy does not, and the shift sits in the reds and skin rather than in overall lightness, the magenta is the first suspect, ahead of any machine fault.

What does a colour page from this cartridge cost?

At $24.96 for up to 2,400 pages, the maths lands at roughly 1.04 cents per colour page. For a multifunction that mostly lives on black-and-white work with colour as the occasional garnish, that keeps the colour side cheap to feed: you are paying for a modest fill sized to a modest appetite, and the per-page figure stays close to a cent even so. When the low-toner notice appears, the replacement decision is a twenty-five-dollar one, not a budget meeting.

Is this the right magenta for our machine — and does it fit anything else?

This listing is the 106R03691 magenta for the WorkCentre 6515, and the same cartridge also fits the Phaser 6510 colour printer — the two models share their engine and their toner family, which is handy if your office runs one of each. To be certain before ordering, slide out the magenta you are replacing and read the code on its label: 106R03691 is the match. Colour alone is not a safe guide, since each of the four colours carries its own part number.

What cover comes with the cartridge, and where does it ship from?

Each 106R03691 carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a unit that leaks, streaks or fades early is replaced or refunded — you are not stuck arguing over a consumable. Orders are dispatched from the closest of our four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — and the full detail on postage, timing and returns sits on our shipping & returns page. Questions before you commit: our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
