Frequently Asked Questions

The blues on our printouts have gone green and the purples look red. Is one cartridge behind all of it?

Yes — and it is this one. Cyan is the blue-making half of nearly every cool color the printer mixes: blue is cyan plus magenta, purple is magenta leaning on cyan, and teal, navy and sky tones are mostly cyan with supporting roles. As the 106R01278 empties, that blue foundation drains out of the recipe. Blues slide toward green because the yellow in the mix is suddenly unopposed, purples collapse toward red, and photographs of water or sky turn swampy — while reds, yellows and black text stay perfectly honest. When every cool color drifts warm at the same time and the warm colors do not move, you are looking at one fading cyan cartridge, not a settings problem.

How do I prove it is the cyan before I spend money on a cartridge?

Print the printer's built-in demo or supplies page and look at the solid color bars. Each bar is one cartridge printing alone, with no mixing to hide behind. A healthy cyan bar is a deep, even blue-green from edge to edge; a dying one comes out pale, streaky or broken into bands. Compare it with the magenta and yellow bars on the same sheet — if they are solid and the cyan bar is weak, the diagnosis is made without opening the printer or guessing. It takes one sheet of paper and about a minute.

What does a 1,900-page yield actually cover in a small office?

That rating is measured at about 5% page coverage — a typical text page with a small logo. At $31.86 the arithmetic works out to roughly 1.7 cents per rated page. Real life moves the number around: a one-page flyer with a full blue header can spend ten times the toner of a memo, so a marketing-heavy month may see closer to 900–1,200 pages, while a correspondence-heavy office can meet or beat the rating. Think of 1,900 as the yardstick for comparing cartridges, not a promise for any single month.

I am reordering from the empty cartridge on my desk. What do I match?

Match the part number on the cartridge label: 106R01278. That code is the cartridge's identity — it pins down the color, the yield class and the machine family in one string, which is why this listing is sold by the code rather than by a printer name. If the number on your empty unit reads 106R01278, this is the same cartridge, regardless of whether your machine's badge says Phaser 6130 or Phaser 6130N. Reading one number off the old unit is the whole compatibility check.

Should I replace the other colors at the same time while the printer is open?

No. Each color empties on its own schedule, driven by what you print — an office heavy on blue charts burns cyan long before yellow feels a thing. Swapping a half-full magenta or yellow "while you are in there" throws away toner you already paid for and resets nothing; the printer tracks and uses each unit independently. Replace the 106R01278, close the cover, and let the other cartridges live out their own lives. Keep a spare cyan on the shelf instead if the color matters to your work.

What happens if the cartridge arrives damaged or the color is still wrong after I install it?

Every cartridge we sell is covered for a full year, and returns stay free for that same year — if a unit arrives leaking or faulty, or a fresh 106R01278 does not restore your blues, contact us and we will make it right. Orders leave from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and the full details live on our shipping and returns page. Support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This 106R01278 Cyan Toner Cartridge

This is a Clever Supplies compatible cyan cartridge built to replace the Xerox 106R01278 in the Phaser 6130 family. It is a single cartridge rated at 1,900 pages, priced at $31.86 — about 1.7 cents per rated page. Cyan is the cartridge your blues, teals and purples are made from, so it is the one whose fading quietly repaints every cool color in your documents before it ever prints an obviously bad page. The listing is sold under its part number because that number is the surest way to order the right unit: read it off the empty cartridge, match it here, and the replacement that arrives is the same specification — same color, same yield class, same fit — ready to drop in with no tools and no changes to the printer.
