where they get you on the back end with the outrageous price of the cartridges. I have to assume you need a printer of this price range to get the performance you need, so I wont suggest you buy another printer. You will probably just have to eat the pain and purchase another cartridge. If the magenta is low, the other ones are probably gonna run out soon too. Unfortunately, most times there is no way to tell for sure.

here is the magenta cartridge: https://smile.amazon.com/HP-CF213A-Toner-Cartridge-Magenta/dp/B008M11XD2/ref=pd_sim_229_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B008M11XD2&pd_rd_r=SQ9WDZ2B8CRQSR74WYM1&pd_rd_w=QEYob&pd_rd_wg=8Xgk2&psc=1&refRID=SQ9WDZ2B8CRQSR74WYM1

or, if you are feeling lucky, you can go the aftermarket route and get the entire set for a lot less:

good luck
