Frequently Asked Questions

What does a printed page from our B1260 really cost with this cartridge?

Take the price and divide it by the rating: $38.21 over 1,500 pages works out to roughly 2.55 cents of toner per sheet. We will not pretend that is the cheapest page in our catalogue — large workgroup cartridges go lower. But the B1260 is a compact desktop machine, and this is the cartridge built for it: the honest comparison is against other B1260 cartridges, not against hardware twice its size.

How long should one cartridge last a single B1260 user?

At a light personal pace — say 100 to 200 pages a month — expect somewhere between eight months and well over a year. At 300 pages a month you are changing it around the five-month mark. Those are estimates from the 1,500-page rating; pages with heavy fills, bold graphics or dense tables draw more toner than the 5% coverage the rating assumes.

How will we know the cartridge is nearly finished?

The usual signs are print that fades towards one side, greys that wash out, and pages that look tired even though the settings have not changed. Those symptoms arriving together on a B1260 that has been running the same cartridge for months almost always mean the toner itself is nearly gone rather than a fault with the printer.

Does this cartridge fit anything besides the B1260?

Yes — the 331-7327 is shared across Dell's B1260 and B1265 families, including the B1260dn and B1260dnf multifunction models and the B1265dfw. If your office runs a mix of those machines, one cartridge type covers the shelf, which keeps reordering simple.

Is it an original Dell cartridge?

No, it is a compatible cartridge built by a third-party manufacturer to match Dell's 331-7327 specification. What you get is the stated 1,500-page rating at $38.21; what you skip is the genuine-badge premium. Every claim on this page — yield, price, cover — refers to this compatible unit.

What protection comes with the purchase?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns stand behind it: a cartridge that underperforms or fails early can come back to us. Questions are answered Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the details live on our shipping & returns page. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA or CA.
