Frequently Asked Questions

Why buy two 330-2666 cartridges at once instead of one?

Because a 2330 that stops mid-job costs more than toner does. With this 2 pack, one cartridge goes in the printer and the second waits on the shelf, so the next change takes two minutes instead of two days of waiting on a delivery. There is also a price reason: at $160.25 for the pair, each cartridge works out to about $80.13 instead of $90.57 bought singly — a saving of $20.89 across the two.

How many pages does the 2 pack give us in total?

Each 330-2666 cartridge is rated at 6,000 pages, so the pair covers roughly 12,000 pages. That brings your effective cost down to about 1.34 cents per page, compared with roughly 1.51 cents when you buy the single cartridge.

Will both cartridges work across our different Dell models?

Yes. The 330-2666 fits the Dell Laser 2330, Laser 2330D, Laser 2330DN, Laser 2350D and Laser 2350DN, so a shelf spare can serve whichever of those machines runs dry first.

Are these genuine Dell cartridges?

No, they are compatible cartridges manufactured to the 330-2666 specification rather than Dell-branded OEM stock. They are built to deliver the same 6,000-page rated yield and install exactly like the originals.

How should I store the spare cartridge?

Keep it sealed in its packaging, flat, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Stored that way, the spare will be ready whenever the installed cartridge runs out — there is no benefit to opening it early.

What if one of the two cartridges turns out to be faulty?

Both cartridges carry our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a defective unit is covered whether it is the first one you install or the spare you open months later. Details are on our shipping and returns page, and our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. Orders ship from our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses. See more options on the Dell toner page.

Does it matter which cartridge of the two goes in first?

No. The pair are identical 330-2666 units with the same 6,000-page rating, so either can be the workhorse and either can be the spare. What is worth doing is marking the date on the spare's carton as it goes onto the shelf: months later, that one note tells you how long the first cartridge lasted and whether your office is consuming the second half of the pair faster or slower than planned.

The day the shelf spare goes into the printer, what else should happen?

The reorder. A 2 pack works on a simple rhythm — one cartridge in service, one in reserve — and the moment the reserve is fitted, the reserve is gone. Ordering the next pair that same day means the new spare arrives while the installed 330-2666 still has most of its 6,000 pages ahead of it. Wait until the installed cartridge fades instead, and the pair's whole advantage — never waiting on a delivery — evaporates.

How does a 2 pack teach you your real pages per cartridge?

Through two honest data points. Note the printer's counter when each cartridge is fitted and again when it is removed; the differences are your true yields, in your documents, at your coverage. Averaged across the pair's roughly 12,000 pages, that number settles down into something dependable — and it is the figure that should drive pack-size decisions later, because it already reflects the way your office actually prints.

What do you do with the first empty while the second cartridge is still sealed?

Keep it until the second cartridge is fitted and printing cleanly, then dispose of it. That short overlap is the pack's built-in safety net: if the fresh unit misbehaves, the old 330-2666 going back in for a few test pages shows immediately whether the fault belongs to the cartridge or the printer. Once the second unit has proved itself, the empty can leave through the usual recycling route — no reason to archive spent toner.
