Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this magenta cartridge identified by the number 310-8096?

Dell assigns the magenta position on the Color Laser 3110cn its own supply number, and 310-8096 is it. When a reorder list, an old invoice or the label on the cartridge you just pulled out carries that number, this listing is the same supply — a high yield magenta cartridge rated at 8,000 pages. Ordering by the number removes the guesswork that comes with ordering by color name alone.

What does one page of magenta cost with this cartridge?

The math is plain: $93.89 spread over 8,000 rated pages works out to roughly 1.17 cents per page for the magenta position. That is honestly not the cheapest per-page figure in our Dell catalog — the 310-8096 is a high-capacity cartridge for a production-class color laser, and what the price buys is 8,000 pages between changes rather than a bargain cost per page. If your 3110cn runs heavy color volume, fewer changeovers is the real saving.

How long will 8,000 pages of magenta actually last?

It depends entirely on how much magenta your documents use. At 500 color pages a month, the rating stretches to well over a year; at 2,000 color pages a month, plan on roughly four months. Coverage matters too — the 8,000-page figure assumes standard test coverage, and photo-heavy or graphics-heavy work draws magenta down faster than text pages with a small color logo.

Our reds look dull and skin tones look wrong. Is the magenta running out?

Very possibly. Magenta is half of every red, orange and skin tone your 3110cn prints, so a fading magenta cartridge shows up as washed-out reds and greenish faces long before it shows up in black text. Before replacing, print a solid magenta test page: if it comes out streaky or uneven, the cartridge is near the end. If the test page is rich and even, the problem is elsewhere.

Can I replace just the magenta cartridge?

Yes. Each color position on the Color Laser 3110cn is its own separate cartridge, and colors deplete at different rates depending on what you print. Swapping only the spent 310-8096 magenta and leaving the other colors in place is the normal, economical way to run this printer — there is no need to change a full set when one color fades.
