Frequently Asked Questions

Photos look perfect on my screen — why do faces come out yellow on paper?

Because your monitor mixes light and your printer mixes powder, and the powder that builds believable skin is magenta. As the magenta cartridge empties, faces drift yellow and waxy, red sweaters turn orange, and sunsets lose their warmth — yet a black-and-white document from the same machine still looks flawless, which is why the problem ambushes people mid-photo-run. The fix is the cartridge itself: a fresh 106R01393 puts the missing color back.

The display says magenta is at 20% — how much printing is really left?

On paper, about a fifth of this cartridge's rated life: the 106R01393 is a high-yield unit good for up to 5,900 pages, so 20% points to roughly 1,100–1,200 typical pages. Treat that as a planning number, not a promise — the percentage is the machine's estimate, photo pages burn through it several times faster than letters do, and the first faded red is a more reliable signal than any readout.

We print a lot of red — logos, covers, sale flyers. Is this the right cartridge for that?

It is the version built for exactly that workload. Every red page is a magenta page — red is magenta combined with yellow — so red-heavy printing empties this cartridge faster than any other kind. The high-yield rating of up to 5,900 pages at $55.94, about 0.95 cents a page, stretches the gap between changes, and at this size a mid-campaign swap becomes a rare event instead of a recurring one.

Where exactly is the part number, and why should I order by it?

On the label of the cartridge itself — when you slide the old unit out, 106R01393 is printed right on it. Ordering by that code is the one method that cannot wander: color names and model nicknames overlap across Xerox lines and yield grades, but the code names a single product, high-yield magenta for this Phaser family. Match the code and the box that arrives is the box the printer wants.

If the spare sits in a drawer for months, does it lose anything?

No. Unopened toner keeps its full rated life on a shelf; the powder does not age the way ink does. Keep the box sealed, stored flat in a cool, dry spot out of direct sun, and the 106R01393 you install in six months performs like the one you would install today. Buying ahead of the warning light is the cheapest insurance a photo printer can hold.

What am I covered by if something is wrong with it?

A 1-year warranty stands behind the cartridge, and you have a full year of free returns if it is not right for your machine — the complete wording sits on our shipping and returns page. Parcels are sent from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses, and a real support team picks up Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
