Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the second cartridge in this 2-pack add only $6.74 to the price?

Because that is how this cartridge's pack pricing is built. A single 310-9058 costs $25.22; this 2-pack of the same black cartridge for the Dell 1320 family costs $31.96 — so the second cartridge effectively rides along for $6.74. Per cartridge the price falls to $15.98, and against buying two singles at $50.44 you save $18.48. It is an unusually steep step for a two-pack, and it is simply the arithmetic of this listing, not a limited-time trick.

What does the 2-pack do to our cost per page?

It cuts it by more than a third. One cartridge at $25.22 over 2,000 rated pages is about 1.26 cents a page; two cartridges at $31.96 over 4,000 rated pages is about 0.80 cents a page. For a 1320, 1320c or 1320cn that prints steadily, that difference is the main reason to take the pair — the cartridges are identical, only the unit price changes.

Are both cartridges the same 310-9058?

Yes — two identical compatible black cartridges, each rated at 2,000 pages, each carrying Dell part number 310-9058. There is no standard-versus-premium split inside the box and no difference in fill or rating between the first cartridge and the second. You install one, shelve one, and the shelved unit is a like-for-like replacement when the first runs dry.

Who should take the 2-pack instead of a single?

Anyone whose 1320 goes through a black cartridge more than once or twice a year. At the single price you pay $25.22 every time; with the spare already on the shelf at an effective $6.74, a mid-job empty never becomes an emergency order. If your printer sits idle for months at a time, the single is the sensible buy — there is no prize for stocking toner you will not use.

How should the spare cartridge be stored?

Keep it sealed in its bag, flat, in a cool dry cupboard away from sunlight and radiators. Stored that way, a toner cartridge waits patiently — it has no expiry clock running the way ink does. When the installed cartridge fades, swap in the spare and reorder at leisure; the 2-pack turns a stop-the-presses moment into a two-minute job.

What if one of the two cartridges is faulty?

Each cartridge carries the same backing: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a unit that streaks, fades early or fails is returnable whether it is the first one you install or the spare you open months later. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, with the full terms on our shipping & returns page. The pack ships from our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses.
