Frequently Asked Questions

What does one printed page cost with the 331-0717?

The arithmetic is straightforward: this cartridge costs $27.16 and is rated for 2,500 pages, so the magenta channel works out to about 1.09 cents per page. That rating assumes standard page coverage — a page with a full-bleed photo draws far more magenta than a letter with a small color chart, so real-world life moves around that figure.

Is 1.09 cents a page a bargain?

Honestly, no — we won't dress this up as the cheapest magenta per page you can buy. What the $27.16 buys is capacity: 2,500 pages, the equivalent of five reams of paper, before you have to think about magenta again. On a Dell Color Laser 2150cdn, 2150cn or Multi-Function 2155cdn running regular color work, that means fewer swaps and fewer mid-job interruptions across the year.

What makes this a "high yield" cartridge?

High yield simply means the 331-0717 carries a larger toner load than a standard-fill cartridge for the same machines — 2,500 pages' worth in this case. The cartridge fits and handles exactly the same way; it just lasts longer between changes, which is the whole point for an office that prints color every week.

Why does the magenta drop when we mostly print black text?

Color laser printers use small amounts of color toner even on largely black-and-white work — during calibration cycles, and because many drivers render deep "rich black" with a color underlay. So the magenta in a 2150cn can age down in an office that swears it barely prints color. That is normal machine behavior, not a fault in the cartridge.

What protection do I get if the cartridge fails?

This is a compatible cartridge, covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. If it fails or the print quality is not right within that year, you are not stuck with it. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page.

Where does my order ship from, and how do I reach you?

Your cartridge ships from whichever of our four warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — gets it to you fastest. Questions about an order or about picking the right supply: our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. The rest of the range is on our Dell toner page.
