Frequently Asked Questions

Why are our reds coming out orange and our pinks looking washed out?

That color shift points straight at magenta. Red is built from magenta mixed with yellow, and pink is a lighter tint of the same combination, so when the 106R01628 cartridge runs low, warm colors lose their punch first: a bold red logo drifts toward orange, skin tones in a photo turn flat, and purple headings fade toward blue. Crisp black text on the very same sheet is no reassurance here, because black sits in its own separate cartridge and can look perfect while magenta is nearly gone.

How much magenta does a typical small-office page actually use?

Usually very little. A letter, invoice or report spends most of its toner on black text, while magenta shows up only in touches — a red chart bar, a company logo, a highlighted deadline, a small photograph. That is why a 1,000-page rating on this magenta cartridge can cover a long stretch of ordinary office work, even though a run of full-page color photos or glossy presentation covers, where warm tones fill the sheet, will draw it down much faster.

Magenta is empty but the other colors still show toner — do I have to change them all?

No. This platform uses separate cartridges for each color, so you replace only the one that is empty. Swap in this 106R01628 magenta on its own and leave working cyan, yellow and black cartridges in place until they genuinely need changing. Mixing a fresh magenta with part-used companions is perfectly normal, and replacing colors early just to keep them matched adds cost without improving your prints.

Can I keep printing black documents while magenta is fading?

In most day-to-day work, yes — text documents that call only for black can continue while a color cartridge is low, though a color job sent in that state will show the weakness immediately in its reds and pinks. Treat a fading magenta as a prompt to order, not as an emergency that stops the office: finish the plain paperwork, hold the client-facing color handouts until the new cartridge is in, and those pages will carry the warm, confident color they were designed with.

Which printers is this magenta cartridge made for?

It fits the Phaser 6000, Phaser 6010 and Phaser 6010N, plus the WorkCentre 6015, WorkCentre 6015V/B and WorkCentre 6015V/N — the compact Phaser printers and WorkCentre multifunction machines built for small offices and home workspaces.

What if this cartridge arrives faulty or the color still looks wrong?

Contact us before assuming the printer is at fault. This cartridge carries a 1-year warranty together with 1-year free returns, and the full details sit on our shipping and returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is on hand Monday to Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST to talk through a poor print, check you ordered the right supply for your model, and arrange the next step if the cartridge itself is the problem.

About This 106R01628 Magenta Cartridge

One compatible 106R01628 magenta toner cartridge for $31.99, rated for 1,000 pages — around 3.2 cents a page at standard coverage. Magenta is the warm half of color printing, the cartridge behind reds, pinks, purples and believable skin tones, and on these small Phaser and WorkCentre machines it is asked for in small, important moments rather than on every line. This single cartridge keeps that side of your color honest without forcing a full set change. You can see the rest of the range on our Xerox toner page.
