Frequently Asked Questions
What does 105,000 pages look like on a Dell 5350?
On a machine built for throughput, it looks like a long stretch of uninterrupted work. Five 330-6968 cartridges at 21,000 pages each give the 5350 a total of 105,000 rated pages. At 6,000 pages a month that is about 17 months between pack orders; even at a heavy 10,000 a month it is over ten months. The 5-pack matches the machine's character — built to run, rarely opened.
How does the pack's per-page cost compare with a single cartridge?
A single 330-6968 at $138.32 works out to about 0.66 cents per page. In this pack the same cartridge costs $123.53, and the per-page figure drops to about 0.59 cents. Across 105,000 pages that difference adds up to the pack's $73.95 saving against five singles — the discount is earned by volume, not by a lesser cartridge.
Are all five cartridges the same unit the 5350 takes?
Yes — each is a 330-6968 high-yield black, the shared supply for Dell's 5230 and 5350 families (5230, 5230n, 5230dn, 5350, 5350dn). That commonality is what makes a 5-pack rational: the boxes on the shelf are interchangeable across the whole family, so stock never sits stranded for the wrong model.
How do we keep track of five cartridges in a busy print room?
Label the shelf, not the cartridges. Keep the pack's boxes together, sealed and flat, and pull from one end in order. A simple habit — write the install date on the supply log each time one goes in — tells you the 5350's real consumption rate within two changes, after which reordering becomes a calculation instead of a guess.
What shortens a cartridge's life on a high-volume machine?
Page coverage, mainly. The 21,000-page rating assumes 5% coverage; dense output — statement runs, shaded forms, graphics — uses more toner per page and empties the cartridge sooner in page terms. The machine's speed does not change the math; what flows across the page does. Even so, the rating remains the right planning figure because it is measured identically for every cartridge in the class.
What stands behind the pack?
These are compatible 330-6968 cartridges with a 1-year warranty against defects and 1-year free returns if a cartridge does not perform as it should; terms are on our shipping and returns page. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
