Color Laser 1350CNW
Take the 1350's faster color laser engine and add built-in networking and wireless, and you get the Dell 1350CNW — a small-workgroup printer several people can share without USB cables crossing the office. The cartridge story matches the rest of the family: a high-yield set built around black 331-0778, completed by cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780 and yellow 331-0779. The whole family is also stocked under the short codes — 810WH (black), C5GC3 (cyan), XMX5D (magenta) and WM2JC (yellow) — so whichever numbering appears on a spent cartridge, the replacement is on this page.
A shared printer belongs to everyone, which in practice means its toner belongs to no one: five users print freely, nobody watches the levels, and the cartridge empties in the middle of the one job that mattered. The 1350CNW's high-yield options pull real weight here, stretching the interval between swaps even with a whole team feeding it work. Clever Supplies stocks compatible and genuine OEM toner for this model with fast shipping, so a restock is a short pause rather than a lost day.
Toner Cartridges for Dell 1350CNW
Which cartridge should you buy?
For a workgroup machine, buy like a workgroup. Black multipacks — the 2-, 3- and 5-pack listings — match the reality that shared offices burn black fastest, and a 5-pack on the shelf means the next three low-toner warnings solve themselves. Color singles remain the right unit for cyan, magenta and yellow, since shared color use is spikier and rarely empties two colors at once. When the printer itself is new or a full restock is overdue, the larger sets (including the 5-, 6- and 8-cartridge bundles) reset every slot in one order. Compatible cartridges keep the shared printer cheap to feed and are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns; genuine OEM is stocked alongside for offices that standardize on Dell-branded supplies.
Chip, toner and everyday use
On a networked printer, make level checks part of the routine: glance at the supplies status before a big shared job, not after the failure. The 1350CNW keeps printing for a while after a low-toner warning and stops only when a cartridge is truly empty, so a warning is your window to order rather than an emergency. When you swap, slide the new cartridge in until it seats with a click and let the machine recognize it before sending the next job. Keep the spare shelf near the printer, cartridges sealed and flat, and rotate stock so the oldest box gets used first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges does the Dell 1350CNW use?
The high-yield family numbered 331-0778 (black), 331-0777 (cyan), 331-0780 (magenta) and 331-0779 (yellow), also filed under the short codes 810WH, C5GC3, XMX5D and WM2JC. If you are ever unsure, open the front cover and copy the code off the old cartridge before ordering.
Can I replace just the black cartridge in the 1350CNW?
Yes — the 1350CNW uses one cartridge per color, so when black runs low you replace only that one and leave the color cartridges alone. On shared machines black usually needs replacing two or three times as often as any single color.
Does the 1350CNW stop printing the moment toner runs out?
It warns first. Like most Dell printers it keeps printing for a while after the low-toner warning appears and only stops when the cartridge is truly empty; installing a fresh cartridge gets it going again right away. Treat the warning as your reorder point and the stop never surprises you.
My spent cartridge shows a short code, but listings show long numbers — are they the same?
Yes. Dell files this family both ways: 810WH is the same black cartridge as 331-0778, and C5GC3, XMX5D and WM2JC match 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779. Order by color using either code and you will land on the right cartridge.
