Frequently Asked Questions

Our 1320's prints have gone blue and the greens look teal — is it the yellow?

That color shift is the classic signature of an empty yellow cartridge. Yellow is a building block for greens, warm reds and natural skin tones, so when it runs dry those colors collapse toward blue and cyan while black text stays sharp. If the words on the page look perfect but every picture looks cold, the yellow — Dell part 310-9062 — is where to look first.

How can I be sure it's yellow and not one of the other colors?

Print something with a warm, simple image — a photo with skin tones or a page with a yellow highlight block. If yellows print pale or missing and greens come out blue, yellow is gone. The 1320 also reports individual cartridge levels, and because each color is a separate unit — black 310-9058, cyan 310-9060, magenta 310-9064, yellow 310-9062 — you can confirm exactly which one is low before you order anything.

Can I change just the yellow and leave the rest in place?

Yes, and that is exactly how the 1320 is meant to be maintained. The four cartridges are independent; pull the spent yellow out, seat this one in its place, and the cyan, magenta and black stay untouched until their own turn comes. There is no need to buy or replace a full set when only one color has run out.

What does the 2,000-page rating actually mean?

It is the cartridge's rated yield under the industry-standard test, which assumes about 5% page coverage — roughly a page of text with a small graphic. Real life varies: a full-page photo can use many times that coverage, while a memo with a small color logo uses less. Treat 2,000 pages as a fair yardstick for mixed office and home printing rather than a guaranteed count.

Is this the same cartridge as the one listed under the number 310-9062?

Yes — this listing is the 310-9062 yellow cartridge, presented under the Dell 1320 printer name for people who shop by machine instead of by part number. Same cartridge, same 2,000-page rating, same $23.74 price. Order whichever listing you found; what arrives is the same unit.

What protection do I have if it doesn't perform?

This is a compatible cartridge, and it carries a 1-year warranty plus 1-year free returns — the details are on our shipping & returns page. We ship from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you'd like help checking a color problem before or after you order from the Dell range.

About This Dell 1320 Yellow Cartridge (310-9062)

This is the yellow cartridge for the Dell 1320 color laser, sold under its printer name for shoppers who don't memorize part numbers — though the part number is right here: 310-9062. It is rated at 2,000 pages and priced at $23.74. Yellow is the quiet workhorse of the 1320's color mixing, and its absence shows up as cold, blue-shifted prints long before anything looks "empty." Replacing just this one unit restores the warm half of your color palette, and it is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.
