Frequently Asked Questions

Why do reds and skin tones depend so heavily on the magenta cartridge?

Because magenta is the red-making supply in the printer. Reds, oranges, purples and pinks are all mixed from it, and natural skin tones in photographs lean on magenta more than on any other color. When the CLT-M508L starts to run down, the symptoms are easy to spot once you know them: reds wash out towards orange, faces in photos take on a greenish or gray cast, and brand colors with red in them stop matching from one batch to the next.

We print a lot of marketing material - will we still see the full 4,000 pages?

Probably a little under it, and that is normal rather than a fault. The 4,000-page rating for the CLT-M508L assumes the standard test coverage of about 5% of the page. Flyers, brochures and sell sheets with bold backgrounds and large images can carry five or ten times that much toner on a sheet, so the page count drops accordingly. For budgeting, document-heavy users can plan on the full rating; design-heavy users should plan on noticeably fewer pages per cartridge.

How does the running cost of this cartridge work out?

The CLT-M508L is $57.72 and rated at 4,000 pages, which puts the magenta share of your print cost at roughly 1.44 cents per page. That is a useful number when you are quoting print-inclusive work or comparing the true cost of running a color machine against outsourcing to a copy shop. As with any cartridge, dense graphics push the real-world figure up somewhat and plain documents pull it down.

Which printers take the CLT-M508L?

The cartridge serves Samsung's CLP-620ND, CLP-670N and CLP-670ND color laser printers, together with the CLX-3175FN, CLX-3175FW and CLX-6220FX multifunction machines. Owners of any of those six models can order this high yield magenta with confidence that it is the supply their machine was built around.

How do I know this is the right magenta and not the standard version?

Read the code on the cartridge you are taking out. This listing is the CLT-M508L, the high yield magenta in the 508 family. Its standard yield sibling is the CLT-M508S, which serves exactly the same printers in a smaller-capacity format. The two are easy to tell apart on paper but impossible to tell apart by looking at the printer, so the printed code is the check that matters.

What protection do we get after buying?

Two layers of it. The cartridge carries a year's warranty against defects, and if it disappoints in any way during that first year, returning it costs you nothing. The details live on our shipping & returns page, and a support team working Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, can help you confirm you have the right cartridge before you even place the order.

About This CLT-M508L Magenta Cartridge

If your Samsung color machine earns its keep on customer-facing output - proposals with charts, event flyers, photo handouts - the magenta supply is the one whose condition shows first in the finished page. This Clever Supplies compatible CLT-M508L, at $57.72 with a 4,000-page high yield rating, is built for that kind of workload on the CLP-620, CLP-670 and CLX-6220 families, keeping reds saturated and skin tones natural over long runs.

It sits in the machine beside the CLT-K508L black and the cyan and yellow from the same family, all of which you will find across our Samsung toner collection. Orders leave from whichever of our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses is closest to you. A final tip for photo-heavy users: replace magenta when the gauge first warns rather than squeezing out the last pages, because faded reds are far more visible in faces than in text.
