Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the second cartridge in this 2-pack add only $15.21 to the price?

Because the pack is priced as a pair, not as two singles. One 593-BBOW on its own is $33.71; this 2-pack is $48.92, so the second cartridge effectively costs $15.21 and the per-cartridge price falls to $24.46. Against buying two singles at $67.42, you save $18.50 — and the per-page cost for black output drops from about 1.12 cents to about 0.82 cents across the pair's combined 6,000 rated pages.

What does 6,000 pages of black toner look like as a working supply?

It is twelve reams of paper, split into a cartridge in the machine and a cartridge on the shelf. For an H625cdw or H825 handling a steady office load of, say, 150 black pages a week, the pair covers roughly 40 weeks. The practical value is not the volume itself — it is that the changeover mid-run costs you two minutes instead of a two-day wait for a delivery.

When the installed cartridge fades, how do I know the spare is the right one?

Both cartridges in this pack are the same 593-BBOW black cartridge for the H625 and H825 series, so there is nothing to match or sort at change time. Check the part number on the box against the one on the cartridge you remove; if both read 593-BBOW, you are holding the correct replacement.

Is there a risk in keeping the second cartridge sealed for months?

Very little, if it is stored sensibly. Leave it in its sealed bag, lying flat, in a cool dry cabinet away from radiators and sunny windows. Toner does not expire on a calendar schedule the way ink can dry out; a spare stored this way will print as rated when its turn comes, even if that is several months after delivery.

What backing do these cartridges come with?

Each cartridge in the pack is a compatible unit covered by our one-year warranty, and returns are free for a full year if a cartridge fails to perform. That applies to both cartridges in the box, including the one you install second. Our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM Central, and the detail is set out on the shipping and returns page.

Which warehouse will my 2-pack ship from?

We hold stock in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and the order is routed to the warehouse nearest your delivery address that has the pack on hand. More of the range for these printers can be browsed in the Dell toner section of the store.

About This 593-BBOW 2-Pack

This 2-pack pairs two compatible 593-BBOW black toner cartridges for the Dell H625 and H825 color laser series, including the Color Laser H625cdw. Each cartridge is rated at 3,000 pages, giving 6,000 pages in total for $48.92 — $24.46 per cartridge, about 0.82 cents per page, and $18.50 less than two cartridges bought one at a time. It suits offices that print black steadily on one machine and want the replacement already on the shelf, with a one-year warranty and one-year free returns covering both units.
