Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this magenta cartridge sold under the number 310-9064?

Because that number is the cartridge's identity. Dell assigns each supply its own part number — 310-9064 is magenta for the 1320 — and the surest way to order the right unit is to match the number on the cartridge you pulled out, not just the printer name. This listing leads with the number for exactly that reason; the cartridge itself is the magenta unit for the Dell 1320 color laser.

What does magenta actually do in our prints?

More than most people realize. Magenta is half of every red and orange, a third of natural skin tones, and the reason sunsets and food photos look warm. When it fades, reds wash out toward orange-yellow, faces look greenish and sickly, and purples lose their depth — while blues, yellows and black text keep looking normal. Those oddly specific symptoms almost always point at this one cartridge.

What does a page cost with the 310-9064, honestly?

The cartridge is $23.74 with a rated yield of 2,000 pages, so the magenta channel costs roughly 1.19 cents per page. We'll be straight with you: that is not a bargain-basement per-page rate. The 1320 is a small-footprint machine with small cartridges, and small cartridges always cost more per page than the big units in production printers. The value here is keeping a working 1320 supplied with the correct cartridge, warranted for a year, instead of replacing the printer or chasing discontinued OEM stock.

How is the 2,000-page yield measured?

By the standard industry test at about 5% coverage — think of a typical text page with a modest color element. Your mileage will move with what you print: photo-heavy pages consume magenta much faster, letterheads with a small red logo much slower. Use 2,000 pages as a realistic planning figure for mixed everyday printing, and expect the printer's own toner gauge to be the final word.

Can I stock a spare, or will it go bad on the shelf?

A sealed spare keeps well. Store it flat, in its packaging, away from heat and direct sunlight, and it will be ready when the installed cartridge runs out — which, with color cartridges, tends to happen mid-print-job rather than at a convenient moment. Many 1320 owners keep one spare of the color they burn through fastest; for most offices that is black, but photo and graphics users often find it is magenta.

Is this an original Dell cartridge, and what if something goes wrong?

It is a compatible cartridge made to the 310-9064 specification, not Dell-branded OEM stock, and it is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns under our shipping & returns policy. We ship from IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and the rest of our compatible range for this machine is in the Dell section. Support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This 310-9064 Magenta Cartridge

The 310-9064 is the magenta cartridge for the Dell 1320 color laser, rated at 2,000 pages and priced at $23.74 — about 1.19 cents per page, a figure we publish plainly because this compact printer class simply runs smaller cartridges. Magenta carries the warm half of everything the 1320 prints: reds, skin tones, purples. This compatible unit matches the original specification, swaps in on its own without disturbing the other three colors, and comes with a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so keeping an older 1320 in honest working order stays a small, low-risk purchase.
