Frequently Asked Questions

Several of us share one C2660dn — how does that change how fast this set gets used up?

A shared machine burns the two yield classes at visibly different speeds. The set's black, the 593-BBBU, is rated at 6,000 pages, while the 593-BBBT cyan, 593-BBBS magenta and 593-BBBR yellow are rated at 4,000 pages each. On a workgroup printer, color jobs — presentations, reports with charts, anything with a logo — pull on all three colors at once, while plain correspondence barely touches them. Expect the color slots to cycle noticeably faster than the black, and expect the busiest color to depend on what your team actually prints.

Why do the colors fall behind the black on a shared printer?

Two reasons stack up. First, the ratings start uneven: 6,000 pages for the 593-BBBU against 4,000 for each of the 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR. Second, shared printing is bursty — one person's fifty-slide deck can consume more color than a week of memos. The black's larger rating absorbs steady text volume; the colors absorb the spikes. That is why this family's reorder rhythm is set by the color slots, not by the black.

On a shared machine, do we swap the whole set at once or one cartridge at a time?

One at a time is the sensible routine. Each of the 593-BBBU, 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR lives in its own slot with its own remaining life, and swapping only the spent cartridge keeps the others' pages in service. A full set like this one belongs on the shelf as the shared stock; the machine takes what it needs, when it asks for it. Nobody's print job should wait on a four-cartridge change that only one slot needed.

How do we budget toner for a shared C2660dn?

Start from the set price: $70.35, about $17.59 per cartridge. Per page, the black's rating works out to roughly 0.29 cents and each color's to roughly 0.44 cents. For a shared machine, the useful planning figure is the color cycle: when a color slot empties, its replacement comes out of the set already on the shelf, so the budget event is one set purchase covering a long stretch of mixed printing rather than a surprise order every time a light comes on.

Are these Dell-manufactured cartridges?

No — they are compatible cartridges built to the 593-BBBU, 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR specifications, not cartridges made by Dell. For a shared office printer that distinction is covered by our own backing instead: every cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the details on our shipping and returns page.

Where does the set ship from, and how do we get help?

Your order leaves from whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if a cartridge underperforms. The rest of the compatible range for this printer family is collected on our Dell toner page.

Where should the shared set live so anyone on the team can find it?

In one labeled place near the machine: a cupboard or shelf marked with the printer's name, the cartridges kept sealed and flat in their carton. On a shared C2660dn the set is team stock, and if only one person knows where it is, the first empty slot on a busy day becomes a scavenger hunt. Writing the purchase date on the carton helps whoever manages the stock, too.

Everyone's prints have started streaking in one color — what do we check?

Treat the streak's color as the diagnosis. Streaks that appear in one color only point at that color's cartridge: cyan streaks mean the 593-BBBT, magenta streaks the 593-BBBS, and so on. Swap just that slot with the matching cartridge from the shelf set. If the streaking clears, the removed cartridge was at fault — and a faulty cartridge is covered on its own under the 1-year warranty.

When should we order the next set for a shared machine?

When the shelf set starts being consumed, not when it is gone. The moment the first color from the shelf set goes into the machine, place the next order; the remaining cartridges in the box cover the printer while the new set travels from the nearest warehouse. That rhythm means the shelf is never actually bare on the day a slot calls for its replacement.

One person printed a huge deck and a color level dropped sharply — is that normal?

Yes, entirely. A single long presentation can spend more of a color than a week of ordinary correspondence, because every slide draws on the 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR at the same time, while text-heavy slides lean on the 593-BBBU black. On a shared machine, check the supply percentages after unusually big jobs rather than only on a calendar schedule — bursts, not steady use, are what set this printer's real toner rhythm.
