Frequently Asked Questions

How does the per-page cost of this 2150 black cartridge break down?

This cartridge costs $26.27 and is rated at 3,000 pages, so the toner cost is about 0.88 cents for every black page your 2150 prints. That figure assumes standard coverage; a month of dense reports will consume the cartridge faster than a month of short memos, but the math gives you a defensible number for budgeting a shared office printer.

Is this the same cartridge as the Dell 331-0719?

Yes — 331-0719 is the part number for this high-yield black cartridge, and this listing is our compatible version of it. The name on the box leads with the 2150 printer family because most buyers search by their machine, but the cartridge inside is the 331-0719 unit either way.

Which 2150-series machines does it work in?

It is made for the Dell Color Laser 2150cn and 2150cdn, plus the Multi-Function 2155cdn, which shares the same toner bay. Only the black cartridge is included in this listing; cyan, magenta and yellow are separate cartridges with their own part numbers.

Our 2150 prints a lot of two-page letters. How long will one cartridge last us?

At the rated 3,000 pages, an office printing around 100 black pages a week would get roughly seven months from one cartridge, while a busier desk doing 300 pages a week would finish it in about ten weeks. Short jobs still count fully against the yield, so the honest way to plan is by pages per week, not by documents.

Can I squeeze more pages out of it when it starts to fade?

Usually a few. Take the cartridge out and rock it gently from side to side five or six times; that redistributes the toner settled at one end and often restores even black for a while. When prints stay pale after rocking, the cartridge is truly empty — keep a spare on hand so the 2150 is never waiting on a delivery.

What happens if this cartridge fails partway through its life?

It is covered by a one-year warranty, and you can return it free of charge any time within the first year — see our shipping and returns page for the details. We ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central.
