Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridge am I replacing in a WorkCentre 3550YX?

The 106R01530 — the single cartridge number for the whole 3550 platform, including your 3550YX. This page is the compatible version of that cartridge, named after the printer. Verify in seconds: the label on the cartridge you remove will carry the number 106R01530, and that number is what defines this product, a black cartridge rated at 11,000 pages.

What does one cartridge print, in practical terms?

Up to 11,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage rating. In office terms, that is roughly 500 standard letters a week for five months, or a ream-and-a-half of paper every week for the better part of a year at lighter volumes. Your actual total depends on coverage — text pages are economical, dense documents consume toner faster.

How does the cost break down?

The cartridge is $69.02, and across the rated yield that is about 0.63 cents per page. Buying singly is convenient but carries the highest per-page rate in this cartridge's range; the two-pack and five-pack of the same 106R01530 steadily reduce it, to about 0.54 and 0.49 cents respectively.

Will it work in the other 3550 models as well?

Yes. The same cartridge fits the WorkCentre 3550, WorkCentre 3550X, WorkCentre 3550XM and WorkCentre 3550YX, because the platform was designed around one shared toner cartridge. Offices with several variants stock one item, not four.

Print quality has faded gradually. Is that the cartridge ending?

Most likely — toner cartridges fade progressively as the fill depletes rather than failing abruptly. Rock the cartridge gently side to side to redistribute the remaining toner; if density returns, you have a little more life and a clear signal to order. When rocking stops helping, the cartridge is spent.

What happens if I am not happy with it?

The cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so you can send it back without cost if it does not perform. Terms are on our shipping and returns page, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
