Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this cartridge sold under the number 593-BBBI instead of a printer name?

Because the number is the exact identifier. Dell markets the printers as the B2375, B2375dfw and B2375dnf, but the black cartridge they share is ordered, stocked and reordered as 593-BBBI. Printer names cover a whole family of machines; the part number pins down the one black cartridge that family takes. If the empty you pulled out, or the line on your last supply invoice, reads 593-BBBI, this listing is that cartridge — the name on the printer's front panel is the less precise way to shop for it.

What does one 593-BBBI cartridge hold?

It is a single black toner cartridge rated at up to 5,000 pages. That is the standard-yield rating for this family — a working supply budget for a small office machine rather than a bulk reservoir. In paper terms it is roughly ten reams of output before the cartridge is spent, assuming ordinary text coverage.

What does the $54.82 price come to per page?

Dividing $54.82 by the 5,000-page rating gives about 1.1 cents per page. That is mid-pack for black toner, not bargain-bin pricing, and it is worth stating plainly: this cartridge's case rests on being the correct standard-yield unit for the B2375 family at a compatible price, not on being the cheapest black page in the Dell range. Heavy coverage — dense reports, graphics, solid fills — uses toner faster and raises the real cost per page.

Is this cartridge made by Dell?

No. This is a compatible 593-BBBI cartridge produced by a third-party manufacturer to match the specification, which is why it sells at $54.82 rather than at a brand-name price. The 5,000-page rating, the price and the warranty and returns cover described on this page all apply to this compatible unit.

How do I confirm the number before ordering?

Check the label on the cartridge currently in the machine, or the part number on your previous order paperwork — both should read 593-BBBI. Matching the number is a more reliable check than matching the printer's name, because the B2375, B2375dfw and B2375dnf listings scattered across the web do not all point at the same supply item, while the number always does.

What protection comes with it?

Each cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, so a unit that fades, streaks or fails well short of its rated life goes back instead of becoming your expense — full terms are on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses, and support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

How do I know the new cartridge is seated and printing as it should?

Print a page you know well — a dense report page the B2375 handles regularly — immediately after the swap, and compare density with the same page from the old cartridge. Even, solid text across the sheet means the 593-BBBI is seated and the change is done. If the first page is patchy or one-sided, take the cartridge out and reseat it once before judging it; a unit that still prints poorly after reseating is a warranty matter, not something to live with.

Do copies and faxes on our B2375dfw draw from this same cartridge?

Yes. On a multifunction machine every printed page — copies and incoming faxes included — comes out of the one black cartridge, so the 593-BBBI's 5,000-page rating is spent by all of them, not just by jobs sent from a computer. Offices are often surprised by how much of a cartridge a busy fax line consumes. When you estimate how long this cartridge will last, count the machine's total page counter movement, not only the print queue's output.

Is one cartridge on the shelf enough backup for a small office?

For this family, generally yes. The 593-BBBI is a standard-yield unit rated at 5,000 pages, and a small office typically works through that over months, which leaves generous time to reorder once the spare goes in. The rule that makes one spare sufficient is simple: the day the shelf spare is installed, order its replacement. Kept sealed, flat and dry, a spare loses nothing by waiting, so the shelf never needs to hold more than one for continuity.

How heavy can our documents get before the 5,000-page rating stops applying?

The rating assumes ordinary text coverage — roughly ten reams of typical office pages. Dense work spends the cartridge faster in direct proportion: a month of graphics-heavy reports or solid-fill forms can use two or three times the toner per page, and the 593-BBBI empties at 2,000 real pages instead of 5,000 rated ones. That is not a defective cartridge; it is heavier pages. If your output is mostly plain text, expect the rating to hold closely.
