Frequently Asked Questions

Our purchasing list goes by part number — does Premium change any of the numbers?

Not one of them. This Premium Quality listing for the Dell 1355cn specifies the same four part numbers as the standard listing: 331-0778 for black, 331-0777 for cyan, 331-0780 for magenta and 331-0779 for yellow. Your purchase order, your supply list and the labels on the arriving boxes all read identically whichever listing you buy from. For a purchasing process built on part numbers — the most reliable way to buy cartridges — the Premium wording is simply invisible: it changes no code, no rating and no price. The set costs $46.23 under either name.

Then why do two listings exist at the same price?

Because shoppers search and compare in different ways — some look for the plain product name, others respond to a quality claim — and the catalog carries a listing for each. What matters for a buyer is what the listings contain, and here the contents match completely: same cartridges, same yields, same cover. We state that openly rather than inventing a difference, because a fabricated distinction would collapse the first time anyone lined the two specification lists up side by side — which is exactly what a careful purchaser does. Buy either one; you receive the same set.

Which four numbers go on the purchase order?

331-0778, 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779 — black, cyan, magenta and yellow respectively. Those codes are also the supply platform for the rest of Dell's compact color family, covering the Color Laser 1250c, 1350cnw, 1355cnw, 1755nf, 1755nfw, C1760nw and C1765nf, so a purchasing list built on them serves every sibling machine in the building. When the delivery arrives, checking the four labels against the four numbers on the order takes less than a minute and closes the loop that part-number buying is designed to create.

What yields should purchasing budget for?

Budget on 2,000 pages for the black 331-0778 and 1,400 pages for each of the colors, all rated at the standard 5% page coverage. Treat those as planning figures rather than guarantees: a department printing dense graphics will cycle the colors sooner, while a text-heavy department will find the black's rating the binding constraint. For cost planning, the useful derived figure is the per-cartridge cost — $46.23 across four cartridges is about $11.56 a slot — which converts directly into a cost per cartridge change on the 1355cn regardless of which color prompted it.

Does the Premium name affect the returns process if a cartridge is faulty?

No. A faulty cartridge from this listing follows exactly the same route as one from the standard listing: it is covered by the 1-year warranty against defects, and the purchase carries 1-year free returns, with the procedure set out on our shipping and returns page. For a purchasing department, that uniformity is worth having — one returns process, one set of terms, no need to track which listing a given cartridge came from. These are compatible cartridges, not Dell-manufactured ones, and the cover applies in full. If you need to talk it through before ordering, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What happens if our 1355cn is retired — is a stocked set wasted?

Less often than you would expect, because the set is not exclusive to this model. The same four part numbers serve the 1250c, 1350cnw, 1355cnw, 1755nf, 1755nfw, C1760nw and C1765nf, and Dell's compact color machines tend to be replaced by their own siblings. A reserve set bought for the 1355cn will very likely fit its replacement if the replacement stays in this family — check the new machine's supply list for the 331-0778 series numbers. Sealed cartridges also store well, so a set held in reserve loses nothing by waiting.
