Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this cartridge identified by the number 330-1436 instead of a printer name?

Because the number is the exact identifier Dell assigns to this black cartridge, and one cartridge serves more than one machine. The 330-1436 is the high-yield black unit for Dell's Color Laser 2130, 2130cn, 2135 and 2135cn printers, so a listing named after any single one of them would undersell what it actually covers. Printer names also drift between invoices, manuals and resale listings; the part number printed on the cartridge label does not. If the empty unit coming out of your machine reads 330-1436, this listing is that cartridge.

What does a printed page cost with this cartridge?

The arithmetic is simple: $27.30 divided by the rated 2,500 pages works out to about 1.09 cents of toner per page. Stated honestly, that is a mid-range figure — a cartridge built for a compact color laser cannot match the per-page cost of the big departmental mono units, and we would rather print the number than dress it up. What the 330-1436 buys you is the correct high-yield black for a 2130 or 2135 series machine at a fair shelf price.

What does "high yield" mean on a cartridge this size?

It means this is the larger-fill version of the black cartridge these Dell machines take: 2,500 rated pages in a compact unit, so the black slot needs attention far less often than it would with a standard-fill cartridge. It does not turn a 2130cn into a production printer — it stretches the interval between swaps on the machine you already own, which on a small color laser is where most of the day-to-day inconvenience sits.

How long does 2,500 pages actually last?

That depends entirely on how hard the machine works. A single user printing around 150 pages a month would take well over a year to empty one; a small office putting 500 pages a month through a shared 2135cn is looking at roughly five months. The rating assumes standard 5% page coverage, so text-heavy documents track close to it while dense, dark pages pull the interval shorter. Your printer's page counter is the honest measure.

Is this a genuine Dell cartridge?

No. This is a compatible 330-1436, built by a third-party manufacturer to Dell's specification for the 2130 and 2135 families. The $27.30 price, the 2,500-page rating and every figure quoted on this page describe this compatible cartridge, not Dell's own branded unit — the saving against the genuine article is precisely why compatible cartridges exist.

What backing comes with it if something goes wrong?

Each cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a unit that fades early, streaks or fails outright comes back to us instead of becoming your loss. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the full terms are set out on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA, whichever puts stock closest to you.
