Frequently Asked Questions

What does a page printed with this cartridge actually cost?

Divide the $38.21 price by the rated 2,500 pages and you get about 1.53 cents of toner per page. Stated plainly, that is not the cheapest per-page figure in the Dell catalogue — small high-yield cartridges for compact machines carry a higher per-page cost than the big departmental units do. What you are buying with the 331-7328 is the right cartridge for a small B1260 or B1265 machine at a fair shelf price, not a bargain-basement cost per page, and we would rather show the arithmetic than hide it.

Why is this cartridge sold under a number instead of a printer name?

Because the number is the precise identifier. Dell part 331-7328 is the high-yield black cartridge for the B1260 and B1265 families, and the same unit serves several machines in that range — the B1260dn and B1260dnf multifunction models and the B1265dfw laser among them. Printer nicknames vary between listings and invoices; the part number on the cartridge label does not. If the cartridge coming out of your machine reads 331-7328, this is its replacement.

How long does 2,500 pages last on a small machine like this?

On a single-user or small-office B1260 printing around 200 pages a month, roughly a year. Double that volume — easy once a B1260dnf's copying is counted alongside printing — and you are looking at about six months. The rating assumes standard 5% page coverage, so dense documents with heavy fills will shorten the interval; your machine's page counter is the honest measure.

What does "high yield" mean at this size?

It means this is the larger-fill version of the cartridge family these small Dell machines take — 2,500 rated pages in a compact unit, so the cartridge changes less often than a standard-fill unit would. It does not turn a B1265 into a departmental printer; it simply stretches the interval between swaps on the machine you already have, which on a small machine is where most of the inconvenience lives.

Is this a genuine Dell cartridge?

No — this is a compatible 331-7328, made by a third-party manufacturer to Dell's specification for the B1260 and B1265 range. The $38.21 price, the 2,500-page rating and the figures quoted on this page all describe this compatible unit, not Dell's own branded cartridge.

What protection comes with it, and who do I call?

Every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a unit that fades early or fails outright comes back to us rather than becoming your problem. Support is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the full terms sit on our shipping & returns page. Stock ships from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA.
