Frequently Asked Questions

Which magenta goes in the M855x+?

The Color LaserJet M855x+ uses the CF313A magenta — this cartridge, the magenta of the HP 826A family. The printer's supplies screen names it, and the magenta cartridge already in the machine is labeled with the same code, so you can verify the match before the box is even opened.

Skin tones in our catalog photos are going greenish-gray — which cartridge is responsible?

Magenta. Healthy skin tones are built mostly from magenta and yellow; as magenta empties, faces lose their warmth and slide toward a gray-green that no one can unsee once they notice it. If the models in your catalog suddenly look ill while the rest of the page prints normally, check the magenta level first — it is the classic cause.

Why do photo pages use magenta so much faster than the rating suggests?

The 31,500-page yield is measured at about five percent coverage. A catalog page is a photograph from edge to edge — its magenta coverage can be ten times the test assumption, and every one of those pages counts against the cartridge accordingly. Photo-led work does not break the rating; it simply lives at the other end of the coverage scale, and ordering should be planned on that basis.

We load different stocks in the x+ trays — does magenta care which tray prints?

No. Glossy catalog stock, plain letter paper and card all draw from the same CF313A; the tray only decides what the color lands on. One consequence worth knowing: heavy stocks often get a second look from clients, so a magenta that is merely 'low' on plain paper can look visibly tired on the premium stock — swap before the important run, not after.

How should we store the spare magenta for the catalog season?

Sealed in its bag, flat in its box, in a dry room at normal temperature and away from direct sun. Catalog season is exactly when a badly stored spare hurts most, so buy it ahead, store it properly, and rotate it to the front of the shelf when the print schedule peaks.

What if the cartridge we receive is faulty?

Send it back on us: it carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns under our shipping and returns policy. We dispatch from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and our support team is reachable Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This M855x+ Magenta Cartridge

Magenta is the difference between a catalog that sells and one that gets a quiet reprint. On an x+ loaded with photo media, it is the cartridge that decides whether faces look alive — and it is consumed faster by that work than any office metric predicts.

This compatible CF313A costs $151.71 and holds the full 31,500-page rated yield. Keep the magenta fresh and the x+ will keep producing photo work you can put in front of customers.
