Frequently Asked Questions

Why have the reds in our printouts started coming out orange?

Because red is not a cartridge color — the printer builds it by laying magenta over yellow. While the magenta cartridge is healthy the mix reads as red; as it empties, yellow starts winning and the same artwork slides toward orange, then rust. Warm logos, brick tones and sale banners are usually the first casualties, often weeks before the panel shows a low warning. A fresh 106R02226 restores the magenta side of that balance.

Which colors on the page depend on this cartridge?

Every warm one. Reds, purples, violets and pinks are built with magenta, and it quietly supplies most of the life in skin tones as well — faces printed with a weak magenta cartridge look grey and tired no matter how strong the remaining colors are. Documents carrying warm graphics, product shots or people lean on this cartridge hardest.

Which printers take this cartridge?

Both halves of the family. On the multifunction side it feeds the WorkCentre 6605 and WorkCentre 6605DN; on the printer side, the Phaser 6600, Phaser 6600N, Phaser 6600DN and Phaser 6600YDN. A single code — 106R02226 — covers all six machines.

What is the rated life of one cartridge?

Six thousand pages, measured against the standard 5% coverage benchmark. How quickly a given office spends that depends entirely on content: text reports with a red heading sip at it, while full-color flyers, catalog sheets and photo pages draw it down in a fraction of the distance. Budget against the rating for mixed work and expect heavier color to shorten it.

How does the price break down per page?

At $40.71 spread over the 6,000-page rating, magenta adds roughly 0.68 cents to the cost of a color page on this platform — the number to carry into a cost-per-page budget for the 6600 and 6605 machines.

What happens if it lets us down?

You are covered two ways: a 1-year warranty on the cartridge, and free returns running the same full year if it underperforms. The complete policy is posted on our shipping and returns page. Stock is held at warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and our support team is reachable Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
