Frequently Asked Questions

What does this 5 pack do to the cost of each black page from our E525W?

It brings it to roughly 0.52 cents — $51.99 spread over the pack's 10,000 rated pages. Bought one at a time, the same cartridge runs about 1.26 cents a page, so the pack format cuts the black running cost of an E525W by well over half. For an office watching per-page costs on a small machine, this pack is where the numbers turn respectable.

How is the saving made up?

Five single cartridges would cost $125.95; the pack saves $73.96. Per cartridge you pay $10.40 rather than $25.19. The mechanism is simple: in this range the first cartridge carries the full price and each spare behind it adds $6.70, so a 5 pack stacks four of those cheaper units behind the first.

Can one shelf stock serve more than one E525W?

Yes — that is one of the pack's natural uses. Every cartridge here is the same 593-BBJX black unit, so a supply shelf feeding two or three E525W printers can draw from one pack instead of keeping separate singles per machine. Reordering stays one line item: the part number.

When do we reorder?

A workable rule for this pack: when the fourth cartridge goes in. One working cartridge plus one spare then remain — about 4,000 rated pages of runway — which is ample time for the next pack to arrive from our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses. Waiting until the last cartridge is loaded throws that buffer away.

Is this a genuine Dell 5 pack?

It is not. These are compatible cartridges from a third-party manufacturer, made for the E525W's black slot under part number 593-BBJX. The $51.99 price, the 2,000-page rating per cartridge and the cover below all describe this compatible pack.

What happens if a cartridge late in the pack fails?

It is still covered: every unit carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a failure in the fourth or fifth cartridge is handled the same as one in the first. The full terms are on our shipping & returns page, and support is reachable Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
