Frequently Asked Questions
What does '2 X BCMY' mean in this set's name?
It is the contents list, compressed: two of each of the four cartridges. The box holds two 593-BBJX black, two 593-BBJU cyan, two 593-BBJV magenta and two 593-BBJW yellow — two complete rounds of toner for Dell's E525W family in a single purchase. The first round goes into the machine over time; the second round waits on the shelf as a full set of replacements, slot by slot.
How much does doubling up in one box actually save?
Two separate four-cartridge sets would cost $112.58. This eight-cartridge set is $94.09 — a saving of $18.49 against buying the same cartridges as two standard sets — and it drops the average cost to about $11.76 per cartridge, the lowest per-cartridge figure in this family. The discount is simply the reward for committing to the second round now instead of reordering it later at full set price.
How far does the doubled capacity stretch?
Think in rounds rather than totals. Each round pairs a 593-BBJX black rated at 2,000 pages with colors — 593-BBJU, 593-BBJV and 593-BBJW — rated at 1,400 pages each, so two rounds double the black capacity to 4,000 pages and give every color slot a second 1,400-page cartridge behind the first. For a busy E525W, that is a long stretch between purchase orders; for a shelf serving more than one machine, it is stock that absorbs uneven demand.
Is eight cartridges too much for a light user?
Honestly, it can be. If your E525W prints a few pages a week, the second round may sit sealed for a very long time, and the four-cartridge set at $56.29 is the proportionate buy — the saving only counts if the cartridges get used. This set earns its keep where volume is steady, where several people share the machine, or where a stockout would genuinely hurt. Buy the size that matches your burn rate.
Are these Dell-made cartridges?
No. They are compatible cartridges produced by a third-party manufacturer to the 593-BBJX, 593-BBJU, 593-BBJV and 593-BBJW specifications — not Dell-branded stock. What stands behind all eight is our cover: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on every cartridge, spelled out on our shipping and returns page.
How is an order this size delivered?
It ships from the nearest of our four US warehouses — Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — in one parcel, so the whole stock lands at once and goes straight onto the shelf. If you are stocking several different Dell models at the same time, support can help you sanity-check the list Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the full range is on our Dell toner page.
