Frequently Asked Questions

The cartridge I pulled out of our printer is stamped 331-0777 — is this listing that cartridge?

Yes. Dell prints the part number on the cartridge itself, and 331-0777 is the high-yield cyan for the 1250 platform. Matching the number stamped on your old cartridge to the number on this listing is the most reliable way to order — more reliable than the printer's model name, since this one cyan serves over a dozen Dell machines.

What will this cartridge actually cost me per color page?

Divide the $25.24 price by the 1,400-page rating and you get about 1.8 cents per page — for the cyan component only. There is no way to make that figure look tiny, and we will not try: it is the normal economics of a compact color laser. The honest comparison is against smaller-fill cartridges that cost less up front but charge you more for every page they print.

How do I know cyan is the cartridge to replace and not one of the others?

Read the symptoms by color. Fading cyan shows up as washed-out blues, greens that turn yellowish, and skies that print pale or gray while reds and blacks stay strong. Combined with the printer's own level readout pointing at the cyan slot, that pattern is conclusive — swapping in a fresh 331-0777 restores the balance without touching the cartridges that still have life in them.

A new cartridge is printing pale — what should I check first?

Two basics solve most cases: make sure every piece of shipping packaging and seal has been removed from the cartridge, and take it out and seat it again firmly until it sits fully home in the cyan slot. If output is still pale after that, contact support — the cartridge is under warranty, and a genuine fault is ours to put right, not yours to live with.

Which printers does this cyan cartridge fit?

The 331-0777 cyan is shared across Dell's compact Color Laser range: the 1250 and 1250c, the 1350 and 1350cnw, the 1355, 1355cn and 1355cnw, the 1755nf and 1755nfw, and the C1760, C1760nw, C1765, C1765nf and C1765nfw. Any of those machines asking for cyan by the number 331-0777 takes this cartridge.

What happens if I need to send it back?

Returns are free for a full year, and the cartridge itself is warranted for one year — the complete policy is on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
