Frequently Asked Questions

Why are our reds printing orange all of a sudden?

Because red is not a cartridge color — it is a mixture the printer builds on the page, laying magenta over yellow. While magenta is healthy the blend lands as true red; as it thins, the yellow underneath starts winning the argument and red slides toward orange, so the logo looks rusty and the warning banners look like they were printed for autumn. Nothing in your files changed. The magenta supply is what changed, and on a high-yield unit the fade stretches over so many pages that most people blame a software update before they suspect the cartridge.

Why do faces in our prints look yellow and sallow?

Believable skin is a three-color negotiation, and magenta supplies the pink that keeps a face alive. Take the pink away and the yellow that remains unopposed turns complexions jaundiced — people look feverish in the brochure and the staff photos come out looking like everyone skipped sleep for a week. Photographs expose a fading magenta long before invoices do, because skin is the one color every reader judges from memory. When the people go yellow while the blues in the same print still look right, the 106R01508 is the cartridge to question.

Our purples have turned blue. Is that the same cartridge?

Yes, and the pairing is the fingerprint. Purple is cyan married to magenta; with cyan still printing and magenta gone, the marriage ends and purple collapses back to plain blue. Reds going orange and purples going blue look like two unrelated faults, but both mixtures share exactly one ingredient — magenta. Whenever two separate color families fail in directions that both point away from pink, a single cartridge explains both, and it is this one.

What makes magenta drain faster in some offices than others?

Red workload. Magenta is spent wherever a page runs red: sale headers, price tags, branded templates with a red masthead, charts whose biggest slice is crimson. An office built around red branding can pull this cartridge down far sooner than a quieter shop, whatever the rating says. The 12,000-page figure for this cartridge is measured at light, letter-style coverage, so treat it as a ceiling for red-heavy work rather than a promise. At $67.67, the rated arithmetic comes to roughly 0.56 cents per page.

The panel just says magenta is low. How do I order the right replacement?

Open the toner bay and read the code printed on the magenta unit itself. The Phaser 6700 line takes more than one magenta yield class, and the yield lives in the code, not in the color — two magenta cartridges for this family can look identical on the shelf and carry very different ratings. If the unit in your hand reads 106R01508, you are looking at the high-yield magenta, and this listing is its replacement. Order by that code and the yield question settles itself.

What protection does this cartridge carry?

A one-year warranty, with free returns running the same full year — if the unit turns up damaged, leaks, or fails to put the red back in your reds, sending it back costs you nothing. The details sit on our shipping and returns page, orders leave from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and if you want a person rather than a page, support is staffed Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This 106R01508 High Yield Magenta Toner Cartridge

One cartridge in the box: a Clever Supplies compatible high-yield magenta that replaces the Xerox 106R01508, rated at 12,000 pages and priced at $67.67 — about 0.56 cents per rated page. Magenta is the parent of every red this printer will ever make and half of every purple, so its long fade is written across price tags, logos and faces alike; a high-yield unit pushes the change interval out to where most offices stop tracking it. The same toner bay serves the whole family — Phaser 6700N, Phaser 6700DN, Phaser 6700DT and Phaser 6700DX differ in paper handling and networking, not in the cartridge they swallow. Read the code off the magenta you are replacing, match it here, and the swap is a pull-and-push with nothing to configure afterward.
