Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2,500-page rating really mean on a Dell 2135?

It is a laboratory figure, measured at 5% page coverage — roughly a page of ordinary business text with margins. Real 2135 output varies: memos and invoices track close to the rating, while pages with bold headers, shaded tables and dark graphics use noticeably more toner per sheet. Read 2,500 pages as the planning number for mixed office work on the 330-1436, and expect heavy-coverage printing to land somewhere under it rather than treating it as a guaranteed count.

What does each page cost us with this cartridge?

The cartridge is $27.30 and rated at 2,500 pages, which divides out to about 1.09 cents per page. We publish that figure plainly because it is the honest one for this class: black cartridges for compact color lasers like the 2135 carry a higher per-page cost than the large mono cartridges in Dell's range. What you are paying for is the correct high-yield black — the 330-1436 — at a straightforward price.

Which Dell printers does the 330-1436 fit?

This cartridge serves Dell's Color Laser 2130, 2130cn, 2135 and 2135cn. The surest check is the number itself: pull the black cartridge from your printer and read its label. If it says 330-1436, this listing is that same cartridge, whether your machine is badged 2130 or 2135.

How do we know when the black cartridge is nearly done?

The signs arrive gradually: text that was solid black turns charcoal, one side of the page fades faster than the other, and fine lines start to break up. Rocking the 330-1436 gently side to side redistributes the remaining toner and can recover a few acceptable pages, which is a useful test — if print quality improves briefly and then fades again, the cartridge is at the end of its life rather than the printer being at fault.

Is this an original Dell cartridge?

No — it is a compatible 330-1436, produced by a third-party manufacturer to Dell's specification for the 2130 and 2135 families. The price of $27.30, the 2,500-page yield rating and the warranty terms on this page all apply to this compatible unit, not to Dell's branded cartridge.

What cover do we get, and where does it ship from?

The cartridge is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns; a unit that fails early comes back to us at no cost to you. Help is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, with the detail set out on our shipping & returns page. Orders leave from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA.
