Frequently Asked Questions

This listing is named by four numbers instead of a printer — what do they mean?

They are the Dell part numbers for the four cartridges in the set, and they are the most precise way to name it. 331-0719 is the black cartridge, rated at 3,000 pages. 331-0716 is the cyan, 331-0717 the magenta and 331-0718 the yellow, each rated at 2,500 pages at the standard 5% coverage. Model names multiply across this printer family — the same set is sold under the 2150, 2150cn, 2150cdn, 2155 and 2155cdn names — but the supply platform underneath is one and the same, and these four numbers are its fingerprint. If your printer's supply list shows them, you have found its set, whatever the badge on the machine.

Which printers does a set named by numbers actually fit?

Every Dell model built on this four-number platform — the 2150 and 2155 family, including the Color Laser 2150cdn, the Color Laser 2150cn and the Multi-Function 2155cdn. The numbering is the point: Dell assigned one set of cartridge part numbers to the whole family, so the set is defined by 331-0719, 331-0716, 331-0717 and 331-0718 rather than by any single printer. Check the label on a cartridge you are replacing now; a match on those numbers is a match, more reliable than matching by the model name printed on a listing.

What is the price per cartridge when it is sold this way?

The same as under any of its model-named listings: $52.28 for the set, which divides to $13.07 per cartridge. The naming convention on the listing changes nothing about the contents or the cost — one black rated at 3,000 pages and three colors rated at 2,500 each. Charged against the black's rating alone, the set price works out to roughly 1.74 cents a page; spread across all four cartridges' work, the effective per-page cost is lower. However you found this listing — by model or by number — the set inside is identical.

Why buy the four as a set instead of ordering each number separately?

Because the four numbers age as a unit. They were installed together, rated to expire in the same window — 3,000 pages for the black, 2,500 per color — and in practice they fade within weeks of each other. Ordering separately means four transactions and a printer that keeps interrupting work as each cartridge separately reaches its end. The set is one order, one delivery and one swap that resets every slot at once, restoring color balance in a single step. For anyone managing supplies by part number, it is also simply a tidier stock record: one line that covers the machine completely.

How do I read the ratings — 3,000 for one number, 2,500 for the others?

Those are page yields at 5% coverage, the test basis every manufacturer uses. The black 331-0719 carries the larger rating because black does the bulk of office printing; each color — 331-0716, 331-0717, 331-0718 — is rated at 2,500 because color work is usually a smaller share of the page count. Your mileage will vary with your documents: sparse text pages beat the ratings, dense graphics pages fall short of them. Use the numbers to compare cartridges and to plan reorder timing, not as a promise about any individual month.

What backing do I get on a set bought by part number?

The same backing as every set we sell: a 1-year warranty on each cartridge and 1-year free returns, with the terms on our shipping and returns page. These are compatible cartridges built to the listed Dell part numbers, not Dell-manufactured stock, and the warranty period is the practical proof standard — you have a year to hold them to it. Orders ship from our US warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
