Frequently Asked Questions

We are reordering from an old invoice — is this listing that same set?

If your invoice shows the four numbers 310-5807, 310-5810, 310-5809 and 310-5808, yes — this is that quartet. The 310-5807 is the black, the 310-5810 the cyan, the 310-5809 the magenta and the 310-5808 the yellow, the high-yield set for Dell's 5100 family. Part numbers outlive listing titles and model badges, which is exactly why this page leads with them: match the numbers and you have matched the cartridges, whatever the old paperwork called the printer.

What yields should we expect from this reorder?

The same as the set on your invoice: the 310-5807 black is rated at 9,000 pages, and the 310-5810 cyan, 310-5809 magenta and 310-5808 yellow at 8,000 pages each. The black outrates each color, so in practice the set is finished off by its colors — plan the next reorder around whichever color your work consumes fastest.

What is the per-cartridge and per-page math?

The set is $130.39, an average of about $32.60 per cartridge. By class, the black's 9,000 pages come to roughly 0.36 cents per page and each color's 8,000 pages to roughly 0.41 cents per page. Two figures, kept separate, because the black and color ratings are not the same and a blended average would mislead a budget either way.

Is this an original Dell set?

No. These are compatible cartridges built to the 310-5807, 310-5810, 310-5809 and 310-5808 specifications, made by a third-party manufacturer rather than Dell. For a reorder, the numbers are the guarantee of identity; for protection, each cartridge carries our 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.

Can the cartridges be installed one at a time as slots empty?

Yes — that is the normal way to consume a set. Each slot is independent, so the fresh 310-5809 magenta can go in while the 310-5807 black from the previous order still has life in it. The set is a purchasing unit, not an installation unit.

How does delivery and support work on a repeat order?

Your set ships from the closest of our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses. Terms, including the returns process, are on our shipping and returns page, and the full compatible range for the family is on our Dell toner page. A person answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if the paperwork and the printer disagree.
