Frequently Asked Questions

Which three cartridges make up this C2660dn color set?

One of each high-yield color the C2660dn and C2665dnf print with: the 593-BBBT cyan, the 593-BBBS magenta and the 593-BBBR yellow, rated at 4,000 pages apiece. Together they form one complete color round for the printer — all three color slots refreshed in a single order, in a single box.

Does the set include the black cartridge as well?

It does not, and that is deliberate. The black position on this platform is the 593-BBBU, which is rated higher and wears out on a different timetable from the colors, so it is sold separately on this site. This set answers the "colors are low" moment only — if your black is flagging too, it is a separate line on the order.

How much does bundling the three colors actually save?

The three singles — 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR — cost $31.82 each, $95.46 for the trio. The set is $58.49, which saves $36.97 and brings each cartridge down to about $19.50. Nothing about the cartridges changes; the saving comes purely from buying the round together instead of in three separate orders.

Our office prints mostly black text. Is a color set still worth it?

Only if color matters when it appears. A C2660dn still draws on cyan, magenta and yellow for color logos, charts and highlighted documents, and a color that runs dry mid-job stops that job. If your color use is occasional, one round at 4,000 pages per color lasts a long time — which is exactly why a single set, rather than the 6-pack, is the right size for mostly-mono offices.

Can the three cartridges be installed one at a time as each color runs out?

Yes. The printer tracks each color independently, so you can fit the 593-BBBS the week magenta gives out and leave the cyan and yellow sealed until their turns come. Keep the unopened ones in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, and they will be ready when the printer asks.

What protection backs the set after it arrives?

Each cartridge is a Clever Supplies compatible covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — if one underperforms, that cartridge is returnable within the year on the terms shown on our shipping & returns page. Orders are dispatched from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and the support team works Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

If we refresh all three colors in one sitting, does the fitting order matter?

No — the C2660dn treats each color as an independent position, so the 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR can go in in any sequence. What matters is completing each change fully before starting the next: one cartridge out, its replacement seated, then move on. Doing them one at a time also means that if output looks odd afterwards, you know the last change is where to look first. A full three-color refresh is a few minutes of work, and there is no benefit in rushing it into a single handful.

What should we print after a full color refresh to check the set?

A page that puts each color to work separately and together. A simple test sheet with a solid block of cyan, one of magenta and one of yellow, plus a photograph or a gradient, shows you everything in one pass: each 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR laying its color down evenly, with no streaks or pale patches, and the mixed image confirming the three combine cleanly. Keep that sheet. It becomes your reference for what this set prints like when healthy, and any future fade can be judged against it instead of against memory.

Can the cartridges we are not fitting yet stay in the set's own box?

Yes — the box they arrived in is a perfectly good home for them. The 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR are individually sealed, so leaving the unfitted ones in the carton, in a cool dry spot out of direct sunlight, keeps them together, labeled and protected until their slots ask for them. It also keeps the set visibly a set: anyone opening the supply cupboard can see at a glance which colors have been used and which remain, instead of hunting single cartridges across three different shelves.

How do the fitting dates of this set help time the next one?

They reveal the round's true length. Note the date each color goes in; the gap between the first color fitted and the last one empty tells you how long one complete round lasts in your office — and since each cartridge is rated at 4,000 pages, your monthly color volume falls straight out of that interval. When the next round begins, you can forecast its end from day one and place the following set's order with weeks to spare, instead of reacting to a low-color warning.

About This C2660DN 3 Color Set

This set combines the three high-yield color cartridges of the Dell C2660dn platform — 593-BBBT cyan, 593-BBBS magenta and 593-BBBR yellow at 4,000 pages each — into one $58.49 box, saving $36.97 against the same cartridges bought singly. It fits workgroups that want a full color refresh on hand without thinking about which color is next. Black is not included: the 593-BBBU black cartridge is a separate listing in our Dell range, on its own replacement cycle. All three cartridges are Clever Supplies compatibles with a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns.
