Frequently Asked Questions

Our 2155cn's greens have gone muddy — which cartridge should I look at first?

Green is built from cyan and yellow, so muddy greens mean one of those two is running low — most often the cyan, 331-0716. Colors rarely fail suddenly; they fade across their last stretch of pages as the cartridge nears the end of its 2,500-page rating. A quick read of the other colors tells you where you stand: if blues are also pale, the cyan is the culprit; if yellows look washed and highlights are gone, look at the 331-0718. And keep the set logic in mind — all four cartridges (black 331-0719 included) are the same age, so a fading color is the announcement that the whole set is nearing its end, not just one cartridge.

What does this set contain?

The full complement for the printer: one 331-0719 black cartridge rated at 3,000 pages, and one each of the colors — 331-0716 cyan, 331-0717 magenta, 331-0718 yellow — rated at 2,500 pages each at the standard 5% coverage. Four compatible high-yield cartridges, one per slot, $52.28 for the set. It is the same supply platform shared by Dell's 2150 and 2155 family, including the Color Laser 2150cdn, the Color Laser 2150cn and the Multi-Function 2155cdn, so the set doubles as common stock for any of those machines.

Is changing all four at once wasteful if the black still has life in it?

Less than it looks. The black's 3,000-page rating against 2,500 for the colors means the black does usually have some life left when the colors fade — but "some" is measured in weeks on a working machine, not months. Leaving it in means another printer stop, another order and another delivery fee's worth of hassle shortly after the first. At $13.07 per cartridge — the $52.28 set price split four ways — the remaining sliver of black toner you discard costs very little, and in exchange every slot restarts at full rating together and the color balance is restored in one pass.

How does the set price compare with replacing cartridges as they die?

The set is one transaction of $52.28 covering a rated 3,000 black pages and 2,500 pages per color. Replacing singly means four separate transactions spread over the coming weeks, each priced as a standalone cartridge and each arriving on its own schedule — and each failure announcing itself at the worst possible moment, mid-job. The set converts all of that into a planned change you make on your own timetable. On pure arithmetic it is $13.07 a cartridge; on office sanity it is the difference between maintaining a printer and being interrupted by one.

How do I verify the match for a 2155cn before I order?

Use the part numbers on the cartridges already installed, or in the printer's supply information: 331-0719, 331-0716, 331-0717, 331-0718. Those four numbers define this platform across the Dell 2150 and 2155 family — the 2155cn named in this listing, the Multi-Function 2155cdn, the Color Laser 2150cdn and the Color Laser 2150cn. Model badges vary across the family; the supply numbers do not. If your machine lists those four, this set is the right one.

What cover do I get with a compatible set?

A 1-year warranty on each cartridge and 1-year free returns on the set — the full policy is on our shipping and returns page. These cartridges are compatible rather than Dell-manufactured, and that year-long cover is what lets you judge them on output instead of on faith: if a cartridge underperforms, the return route is already defined. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and sets ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California.
