Frequently Asked Questions
What does one printed page actually cost with this E525W set?
Work it by class, because the set is built unevenly on purpose. The four cartridges — 593-BBJX black, 593-BBJU cyan, 593-BBJV magenta and 593-BBJW yellow — cost $56.29 together, an average of about $14.07 each. At that average, the black's 2,000-page rating works out to roughly 0.70 cents per page, while each color's 1,400-page rating lands near 1.01 cents per page. The honest summary: text pages from this set are cheap; full-color pages cost about half again as much, which is exactly what the ratings predict.
How long should one set last in a small office?
It depends which class runs out first. A desk printing mostly letters and invoices will lean on the 593-BBJX black and its 2,000 pages, and a set can stretch across months. Add regular color — flyers, charts, branded documents — and the 593-BBJU, 593-BBJV and 593-BBJW colors, at 1,400 pages each, set the pace instead. Either way, the ratings give you a planning number: count your monthly pages in each class and the set's lifespan follows.
Do all four cartridges need replacing at the same time?
They do not. Each of the four slots empties on its own schedule, and each cartridge can be swapped individually when its turn comes. Buying the set is a shelf decision, not a change-everything decision: the 593-BBJW yellow might sit sealed for weeks after the cyan has been replaced. Nothing is wasted by stocking the full round in advance.
Is this an original Dell set?
It is a compatible set, manufactured by a third party to the 593-BBJX, 593-BBJU, 593-BBJV and 593-BBJW specifications for the E525W — not a Dell-branded product. The specifications are what the printer calls for; our side of the bargain is the cover behind it, a 1-year warranty together with 1-year free returns across the whole set.
What cover do we have if print quality disappoints?
Every cartridge in the set carries the same protection, so a cartridge that streaks, fades or fails early is a warranty claim rather than a write-off. The full terms are set out on our shipping and returns page, and if you would rather talk it through first, support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
How quickly can a set get to us?
We hold stock in four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — and your order ships from the closest one, which keeps delivery times short in every region. If your E525W is one of several Dell machines you feed, the rest of the compatible lineup is gathered on our Dell toner page.
