Frequently Asked Questions

Before we order, how do we verify this set is the right one for our C2665?

Check the numbers, not the label. This set is the 593-BBBU black, the 593-BBBT cyan, the 593-BBBS magenta and the 593-BBBR yellow. Your C2665's supply screen, its manual, or the cartridge currently in any slot will name those same numbers — the black as 593-BBBU and the colors in sequence. If the four numbers on your machine match the four numbers here, you have verified the set exactly, whatever any listing calls itself.

This listing says "Premium Quality," at the same $70.35 as the standard set. What is actually different?

Nothing that shows up in a figure. The Premium Quality and standard listings carry identical contents — 593-BBBU rated at 6,000 pages, 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR at 4,000 pages each — at the identical $70.35 price, under the identical 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. "Premium Quality" is a label on the listing, not a specification we can demonstrate, so this page prices and describes the set exactly as the standard one. Buy whichever listing you found; the cartridges are the same.

Which color will our C2665 call for first?

By rating, a color — each of the 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR is rated at 4,000 pages against the 593-BBBU black's 6,000. Which of the three goes first follows your documents: blue-heavy work draws down the cyan, warm graphics draw down the magenta and yellow. Whichever it is, only that slot needs a cartridge; the others, including the long-running black, stay in place with their remaining life untouched.

What is the per-page cost of this set?

The $70.35 set price averages about $17.59 per cartridge. Set against the ratings, the black comes to roughly 0.29 cents per page across its 6,000 pages, and each color to roughly 0.44 cents per page across its 4,000. The two figures are quoted separately on purpose — this family's black and colors live in different yield classes, and a blended number would misstate both.

What stands behind these cartridges if one misbehaves?

Our cover, on every cartridge in the box: the 593-BBBU, 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR each carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. These are compatible cartridges, not Dell-manufactured ones, so the warranty you rely on is ours — a cartridge that fades, streaks or fails early is replaced or returned under those terms, which are set out on our shipping and returns page.

Where does the set ship from, and when is support available?

From whichever of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California — is closest to you. Support hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST. The full compatible range for the C2665's family is gathered on our Dell toner page.

We keep a second set as a backup — how do we stop the older set sitting too long?

Date each carton when it arrives and always draw from the older delivery first. Sealed toner keeps well for months in normal room conditions, so a 593-BBBU or a color cartridge from the earlier set will print as rated when its turn comes — the date note is what guarantees the rotation actually happens instead of the newest box being opened out of habit.

What should the first prints look like after we fit a fresh color?

Run a document you know well — ideally one with a photograph or a familiar chart. Colors should come out even and close to what that file produced before. A cartridge that streaks or fades from the very first pages is not a settling-in issue; that is the situation the 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns exist for, so raise it rather than printing around it.

Does printing double-sided change how fast the ratings are used up?

No — not on toner. The ratings count printed pages, and a duplex sheet carries two of them, so a two-sided report consumes the 593-BBBT, 593-BBBS and 593-BBBR ratings just as fast per side as single-sided work does. Duplexing saves paper and filing space; the cartridge cycle follows the number of printed sides, not the number of sheets.

Can the paper itself make a fresh cartridge look weak?

It can. Paper that has picked up moisture in a damp storeroom, or a heavy stock the machine is not set for, can produce dull, uneven output that looks like a toner problem. Before suspecting a cartridge, run a few pages from a fresh, dry ream. If the same file prints cleanly on good paper, the 593-BBBU and its colors were never the issue.
