Compatible Dell 5230 Toner Cartridge High Yield Black delivers consistent quality with high-resolution printouts sharper images and text
Dell Black toner cartridge consistently produces high-resolution printouts with enhanced graphics and sharp text. High yield toner cartridge is compatible with Dell 5230n 5230dn 5350 and 5350dn printers and yields up to 21000 pages.
Features:
With this cartridge, about 0.66 cents in toner. The math is straightforward: the cartridge costs $138.32 and is rated at 21,000 pages, and $138.32 divided by 21,000 is roughly two-thirds of a cent. For a machine like the 5230 — a departmental workhorse that can chew through a ream without noticing — that per-page figure is the one that matters, far more than the sticker price of any single cartridge.
By the industry-standard test: pages at 5% coverage, meaning a typical page of text with margins, like a letter or a report page. Every manufacturer and every compatible maker rates this way, which makes the 21,000 figure a fair basis for comparison. Your real yield will drift with what you print — pages with big shaded tables, logos or full-page graphics draw considerably more toner than 5%, while plain memos can beat the rating.
The high-yield black for the 5230 is Dell part number 330-6968, and that is the cartridge in this listing — named for the 5230 here, but the same unit that serves the whole family. Checking the code on your current cartridge against 330-6968 is the surest way to confirm you are looking at the right supply before you order.
Not always. Uneven fading near the end of a cartridge's life often means the remaining toner has settled to one side. Take the cartridge out and rock it gently side to side a few times to redistribute the powder, then print a test page — many offices get a useful run of extra pages this way. If the fade returns quickly or streaks appear, the 330-6968 is genuinely at the end of its 21,000 pages and a replacement is the real fix.
Work backwards from your volume. If the 5230 prints around 1,500 pages a month, a cartridge lasts roughly 14 months, so a sensible trigger is to order when the installed cartridge is about a month from your estimated end — or simpler, keep the reorder conversation tied to the printer's low-toner warning and order the same week it appears. At this yield, one spare on the shelf covers almost any surprise.
A 1-year warranty against defects and 1-year free returns if the cartridge does not perform — full terms are on our shipping and returns page. It is a compatible 330-6968, built to the same rating as the original, and the warranty window is what lets you judge it on output rather than on the box it came in. Support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
