Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this set sold under four part numbers instead of a printer name?
Because the part numbers are the precise identity of what goes into the machine. This set is one each of the 310-8092 black, the 310-8094 cyan, the 310-8096 magenta and the 310-8098 yellow — the four high-yield cartridges behind Dell's 3110 and 3115 department color laser family. Printer names vary by region and by sales channel, but a supply list never lies: if your machine's documentation or its own supply screen names any of these four numbers, this is the family it feeds from. Offices that order by part number — most purchasing departments do — use this listing because there is nothing to translate.
Which number in the set is which color?
The sequence runs in the order the slots sit in the machine. The 310-8092 is the black, the 310-8094 is the cyan, the 310-8096 is the magenta and the 310-8098 is the yellow. Each cartridge is labeled with its number and its color, and each fits only its own slot, so a full set change is four deliberate swaps with no ambiguity about which cartridge goes where. If you are reordering after a single color has run out, match the number on the empty cartridge to this list and you have identified it exactly.
All four cartridges are rated at 8,000 pages — what does that equality actually buy us?
Predictability. In many color families the black carries a much higher rating than the colors, which means four different reorder dates to track. Here the 310-8092, 310-8094, 310-8096 and 310-8098 are each rated at 8,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage, so the set was designed to be renewed as a set: one order, one change session, and all four slots return to full together. Real consumption still varies — a department printing mostly text will lean on the black, one printing charts will lean on the colors — but the ratings start level, which is what makes set-based stocking work.
How does the $312.58 set price break down?
Spread across the four cartridges, $312.58 is about $78.15 per cartridge. Set against the 8,000-page rating of each cartridge, that is roughly 0.98 cents per page per slot — the honest arithmetic for a high-yield department cartridge family, with no single cartridge in the box priced as a premium item and none as a filler. Bought as one set, the four numbers become a single line item instead of four separate purchases arriving at four separate times.
Are these Dell-manufactured cartridges?
No — these are compatible cartridges built to the 310-8092, 310-8094, 310-8096 and 310-8098 specifications, not cartridges manufactured by Dell. That distinction is exactly why the part numbers matter: the compatibility claim rests on matching the machine's specified supplies, not on a logo. What stands behind the set is our own backing — a 1-year warranty on every cartridge and 1-year free returns, with the details on our shipping and returns page.
Where does the set ship from, and how do we reach someone if a cartridge misbehaves?
Orders leave from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — puts the set on the shortest route to you. If a cartridge underperforms, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns window means a problem cartridge is a replacement conversation, not a loss. The full compatible range for this printer family is collected on our Dell toner page.
