Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this set carry five cartridges instead of four?

A Dell Color Laser H625cdw or H825cdw has four toner positions, and this set covers all four of them — the 593-BBOW black, 593-BBOX cyan, 593-BBOY magenta and 593-BBOZ yellow — with a fifth cartridge on top. That extra unit is a head start on the next replacement cycle: when the first position runs dry, its successor is already on your shelf instead of in transit.

What does the fifth cartridge effectively cost?

The four-color set on this same code line is $71.60, and this five-cartridge set is $86.81 — so the step up works out to $15.21 for the additional cartridge. Spread across the box, the set averages about $17.36 per cartridge. Bought as individual cartridges, the four base positions alone would total $127.07.

Which colors does the set cover, and how far does each class go?

All four: black, cyan, magenta and yellow, under the codes 593-BBOW, 593-BBOX, 593-BBOY and 593-BBOZ. The yield classes are not identical — the black is rated at 3,000 pages and the colors at 2,500 pages each — so the set is best understood as those two classes together rather than one combined page figure.

Who is the 5-pack the right size for — and who should stay with four?

It suits offices whose printer works daily and where an empty cartridge means a stopped job: the spare removes the gap between running out and the next delivery. If your H625cdw or H825cdw prints only occasionally, the standard four-color set is the more sensible buy, and extra cartridges can be ordered singly when a position actually empties.

How do I rotate five cartridges so none sits on the shelf too long?

Use the oldest stock first: when a position empties, install the cartridge that has been waiting longest, and note the date on any box you put into storage. Keep everything sealed, flat and away from heat and sunlight until its day comes — a toner cartridge asks for nothing more than a dry cupboard and a little patience.

What happens if one cartridge in the set has a problem?

Coverage is per cartridge, not all-or-nothing: each of the five is a compatible cartridge backed by a one-year warranty and one-year free returns, as set out on our shipping & returns page. Support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, orders leave from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and the wider range lives on the Dell brand page.
