Color Laser 1355CN

The Dell 1355CN brings network-ready color laser printing to small offices, letting a whole team share one machine over Ethernet. Its toner is the family's high-yield set: 810WH covers black, and the rest of the set completes as C5GC3 for cyan, XMX5D for magenta and WM2JC for yellow. Dell's numeric ordering codes name the same four slots — black 331-0778, cyan 331-0777, magenta 331-0780 and yellow 331-0779 — so either code system leads to the listings above. Clever Supplies stocks the set as compatible cartridges and as genuine OEM, shipping fast either way.

As the connected configuration of the 1355 line, the 1355CN is built for shared workloads and steady daily output — the office workhorse role. A printer everyone uses gets refilled by whoever notices first, which makes the high-yield format more than a discount: longer intervals between swaps mean fewer interruptions landing on whoever sits closest. Compatible cartridges deliver the same sharp color work at a lower cost per page, which is where a shared machine's budget is really decided.

Toner Cartridges for Dell 1355CN

Which cartridge should you buy?

Networked color printers go through cartridges quickly, which turns yield choice into a budget decision. Build the order around black: it is the shared office's fastest-moving cartridge, and the 2-, 3- and 5-pack listings keep a spare permanently in reach. Colors are better bought as singles, because team color use arrives in bursts — a proposal run can halve the magenta while yellow barely moves. When several colors report low together, the 4-color set is one delivery instead of three. Both compatible lines on this page carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, and genuine OEM is stocked for teams that keep Dell-branded supplies throughout.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Washed-out photos and pale graphics are this family's classic early warning: they usually mean a cartridge is running low, not that the printer is failing. Check each color's level when output starts to look thin, and swap only the empty one — cartridges come out and go in one at a time on this model. A new cartridge should click home firmly; if the printer still reports the old one, reseat it. Spares keep best sealed in their packaging, stored flat in a normal office cabinet — no special conditions, just out of heat and direct sun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges can I use with the Dell 1355CN?

The high-yield family made for this line: 810WH black, C5GC3 cyan, XMX5D magenta and WM2JC yellow, also numbered 331-0778, 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779. The complete set of options for this model appears in the cartridge listings above, singles first if you only need one color.

Why do photos look washed out on my 1355CN?

Washed-out prints are often a low-toner warning rather than a fault. One color running thin skews every photo and chart, so check the levels and replace the cartridge for the weak color — they swap one at a time, and only the empty one needs to go.

How often will I need to replace cartridges in the 1355CN?

It depends on how much the team prints. In a home office a cartridge can run for months; the same cartridge in a busy shared office may last only weeks. Page coverage matters as much as volume — graphics-heavy pages empty cartridges far faster than plain text.

Is it worth keeping a full spare set for a shared printer?

For a networked machine, yes. A spare black at minimum, and ideally one of each color, means a low cartridge never becomes a team-wide stoppage. The sets above bundle exactly that insurance, and rotating the oldest spare in first keeps stock fresh.
