Frequently Asked Questions

When should I reorder magenta for our E525W?

When the printer first reports magenta low, you typically still have a modest reserve — enough for days or a few weeks of light use, not months of heavy color. That warning is the right moment to order this 593-BBJV so the replacement is on the shelf before prints start losing their reds. Waiting until the cartridge is fully empty usually means washed-out pages and a rushed order.

How can I tell the magenta is really empty and not another color?

Print the E525W's supplies status page from its menu; it reports each cartridge separately. Visually, low magenta has a signature look: reds go dull and orange, skin tones turn sallow, and purples slide toward blue. If blacks and blues still print richly while warm colors fail, magenta — the 593-BBJV — is the one to change.

What does this cartridge cost us per month in a small office?

The cartridge is $28.85 for a rated 1,400 pages, about 2.06 cents per page — candidly, a premium per-page rate that comes with small cartridges. An office printing 100 color pages a month might make one 593-BBJV last the better part of a year; at 500 color pages a month you would be replacing it roughly every quarter. Do the math against your actual volume before assuming any cartridge is economical.

Will a compatible cartridge damage our E525W?

This compatible 593-BBJV is built to the same dimensions and toner specification as the original unit and installs the same way, with no printer modifications. It is covered by our 1-year warranty, and our shipping and returns policy includes free returns for a year if you are not satisfied with how it performs.

Can I keep a spare on the shelf, or will it go bad?

A sealed spare keeps well. Store the box flat in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from heaters, and the cartridge will be ready when the installed one runs out. Keeping one spare of the color you use most is a sensible habit for an E525W that cannot be down for long.

Where can I see the other cartridges for this printer?

The full range for the E525W family is on our Dell toner page. Orders ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and California, and our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central if you want a hand matching part numbers.
