Frequently Asked Questions

Five of us share one B1260DN — how long will a single cartridge last?

Shorter than you might hope, and it is worth planning for. The cartridge is rated at up to 1,500 pages; a shared B1260DN in a small team setting can burn through 500 to 800 pages a month once everyone's letters, reports and handouts are counted, which means a change every two to three months. The rating also assumes 5% coverage, so presentation pages and dense documents pull that schedule forward.

What is the per-page cost on a shared machine?

$38.21 divided by the 1,500-page rating gives about 2.55 cents per page. For a compact workgroup printer that is a fair, ordinary figure — not the sub-cent territory of big departmental cartridges, and we will not dress it up as such. What the B1260DN gives you instead is a small footprint and a cartridge that does not cost much to replace when the team runs it dry.

Should we keep a spare on the shelf?

On a shared printer, yes — it is the difference between a two-minute swap and a team standing idle. Keep the spare sealed, flat and out of direct sunlight at room temperature. Because a networked machine gets used by people who never see its toner warnings, the cartridge tends to be discovered empty at the worst moment; a shelf spare removes that drama entirely.

Which machines take this same cartridge?

The 331-7327 fits the whole B1260 and B1265 family — the B1260dn itself, the B1260dnf multifunction, and the B1265dfw laser among them. If your B1260DN sits alongside any of those, a single cartridge type stocks them all.

Is this cartridge made by Dell?

No — it is a compatible 331-7327 produced by a third-party manufacturer to Dell's specification for the B1260DN. The stated yield and price are for this unit. You are paying $38.21 for a rated 1,500 pages, not for the genuine Dell badge.

What if the cartridge fails early?

Every unit carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so an early failure comes back to us rather than becoming your problem. Help is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, with full terms on our shipping & returns page. Deliveries leave from our IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses.
