Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a department printer burn through color faster than anyone expects?

Because nobody in a department thinks of themselves as a color user. The reports are black text — with a color logo, two charts and a highlighted table in every one. Multiply that by every person printing to the 1355cn and the cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780 and yellow 331-0779, rated at 1,400 pages each, are spent by the accumulated color content of mostly-black documents. The black 331-0778, rated at 2,000 pages, does the visible work, but the colors are quietly consumed underneath it. Department printers almost always surprise their owners on color first.

Can we stretch the colors by printing internal drafts in black only?

Yes — the printer's driver offers a monochrome or black-only mode, and using it for internal drafts, email printouts and working copies keeps the three color cartridges out of work they do not need to do. The colors are only spent on pages printed in color, so a department that reserves color for final documents and client-facing material can noticeably extend the calendar life of the 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779. The black's 2,000-page rating absorbs the draft workload comfortably, and at about $11.56 per cartridge in this set, the arithmetic of the habit shows up quickly.

What is in this set for the 1355cn?

Four high-yield compatible cartridges: black 331-0778 rated at 2,000 pages, cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780 and yellow 331-0779 rated at 1,400 pages each — $46.23 for the complete set. The four part numbers are the shared platform for Dell's compact color family and also serve the Color Laser 1250c, 1350cnw, 1355cnw, 1755nf, 1755nfw, C1760nw and C1765nf, so one stock serves every sibling machine in the department. Each cartridge seats only in its own color slot, with the part number on the label as the check.

Black 2,000 pages, colors 1,400 — how should a department plan its reorders?

Plan around the colors, because in shared use they set the pace. A workable rhythm is to treat the first faded color as the reorder trigger for a complete set: the other colors are usually close behind, and the black — rated higher but also worked harder — is rarely far away either. Keeping one full set in reserve and reordering when it goes into the machine keeps the department permanently one set ahead of an outage. At $46.23 per set, that buffer is a minor line in a department budget compared with the cost of a printer standing idle.

One color is streaking — replace that one, or all four?

Start by confirming which cartridge it is: print the test page, and the streaked color block names the slot. If only one color is affected and the others still print solidly, replacing that single cartridge — say the 331-0780 magenta — is the economical move, and the remaining cartridges from a set can wait in the cupboard as sealed spares. If two or more colors look tired, replace them together; matched-age colors produce visibly more even output. Toner cartridges store well unopened, so a set bought for one problem becomes the reserve for the next.

What protection backs a department's purchase?

Every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty against defects, and the purchase is backed by 1-year free returns if a cartridge does not perform — terms on our shipping and returns page. These are compatible cartridges, not Dell-manufactured ones, and that cover is what makes them appropriate for a machine a whole department depends on. Orders ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
