Frequently Asked Questions
This 5-pack says "Premium Quality" and costs $175.63 — exactly the same as the standard 310-7945 5-pack. What is actually different?
On the numbers, nothing we can point to. This pack and the standard 310-7945 5-pack carry the same $175.63 price, the same five compatible high yield cartridges rated at up to 5,000 pages each, the same $35.13 cost per cartridge and the same 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns. "Premium Quality" is the wording this listing carries; it does not come with a higher page rating, a different cartridge or a higher price, and we would rather state that plainly than dress the label up as a feature.
What does the pack work out to per cartridge and per page?
At $175.63 for five cartridges, each 310-7945 costs $35.13 — against $49.92 bought one at a time, so the pack saves $73.97 across its 25,000 rated pages. Per page the figure is roughly 0.70 cents, down from about one cent on single cartridges, whichever of the two 5-pack listings you order from.
Which printers are these cartridges for?
The 310-7945 is the high yield black cartridge for Dell's 1815 series of mono multifunction printers. The number is the identifier to trust: if the cartridge that came out of your machine is marked 310-7945, the five units in this pack are its compatible replacements, each rated at up to 5,000 pages.
Are these cartridges made by Dell?
No. Every unit in the pack is a compatible 310-7945 from a third-party manufacturer, built to the specification the Dell 1815 series works with. The price, the yield rating and the warranty described here all refer to these compatible cartridges, not to Dell-branded stock — under either listing name.
How should the pack be stored and used?
Keep the cartridges sealed in their bags, flat and dry, away from sunlight and heat, and fit them in the order they went onto the shelf. Only open a unit when the installed cartridge is finished. Stored that way, a 25,000-page supply — years of printing for most 1815 owners — stays in good condition until its turn comes.
What cover comes with this pack?
The same cover as the standard listing: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on every cartridge, so a faulty unit comes back to us rather than costing you. Full terms are on our shipping & returns page, our team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders are dispatched from warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA.
