Frequently Asked Questions
Five cartridges is a lot of shelf — how should we store and rotate a W5300 5-pack?
Keep the cartridges sealed in their packaging, lying flat in a cool, dry cupboard out of direct sunlight, and fit them oldest first. That simple rotation is all the management a 5-pack needs: each 310-4133 is rated at up to 21,000 pages, so a W5300 can take months to ask for the next one, and the last cartridge in the box should still be in the condition the first one was.
How much printing does this shelf stock hold?
Up to 105,000 pages in total — five cartridges at 21,000 rated pages apiece. For a W5300 running 5,000 pages a month that is approaching two years of toner; the rating assumes standard 5% coverage, so coverage-heavy departments will draw the stock down sooner.
What does each cartridge work out at?
$150.11. The pack price is $750.54, which undercuts five single cartridges at $166.83 ($834.15) by $83.61, and sets the toner cost at roughly 0.71 cents per page across the pack.
Can these cartridges be used in our other Dell mono printers?
Yes. The 310-4133 serves the Laser W5300 and W5300N, the Dell 5200 and 5200N, the Laser M5200 and M5200N, and the W5600 and W5600N. Stock bought against the W5300's name can be fitted to any of them without waste if the fleet changes.
Are these genuine Dell cartridges?
They are compatible cartridges, made by a third-party manufacturer to the 310-4133 specification. The saving against Dell-branded cartridges comes from that; ratings and cover are as stated here.
What cover do the cartridges carry while they wait?
Each one is protected by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns whenever it is fitted, first or fifth. Questions reach us Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and the terms are set out on our shipping & returns page.
How do we learn what the W5300 really gets from each cartridge in the pack?
Keep a simple log: the date and the printer's counter reading each time a cartridge goes in. Subtract one install reading from the next and you have that cartridge's true yield in your office, at your coverage. After two or three changes you will know whether your W5300 tracks the 21,000-page rating or runs below it — and that measured figure, not the headline number, is the one to plan the next pack around.
When is the right moment to order the next 5-pack?
When the fifth cartridge goes into the machine. At that point you hold a full cartridge's life — up to 21,000 pages, months of printing at typical W5300 volumes — in which to receive the next pack, so there is no urgency and no need to fall back on a single cartridge at $166.83 in the meantime. Ordering at the last cartridge keeps every cartridge you buy at the pack's $150.11 rate.
One cartridge out of the five prints badly — does the whole pack have to go back?
No. Each cartridge in the pack carries its own 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns whenever it is fitted, first or fifth, so a faulty unit is dealt with on its own and the remaining stock stays on your shelf. Contact our team — Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — and the bad cartridge returns by itself rather than disrupting the whole supply.
Can the pack be shared between the W5300 and other printers we run?
Yes — that flexibility is built into the part number. The 310-4133 also serves the W5300N, the Dell 5200 and 5200N, the Laser M5200 and M5200N, and the W5600 and W5600N, so cartridges from this pack can be drawn by whichever machine in that family runs dry first. If the fleet changes mid-pack, none of the stock is stranded against a model name that no longer exists in your office.
