Dell 330-2045
The 330-2045 and 330-2044 black cartridges are the fuel for Dell’s 5330 and 5330dn monochrome workhorses. As mono printers, these machines need only a single black cartridge, which simplifies inventory — one cartridge family to stock, with yield options for different print volumes.
Offices that print thousands of pages a month should look at the higher-capacity options in this set to minimize cartridge swaps and downtime. We stock genuine OEM Dell 330-2045/330-2044 toner as well as compatible cartridges that deliver equivalent page yields and sharp black output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridge does my printer need: 330-2045, 330-2044 or HW307?
All three numbers belong to this printer's toner family: 330-2045 and 330-2044 are the standard and high-capacity versions, and HW307 is Dell's alternate number for the same cartridge. Check the number on your current cartridge and match the capacity to your print volume.
Is the high-capacity 330-2044 worth the higher upfront price?
Almost always, if you will use it within a year: divide each cartridge's price by its rated page yield and the high-capacity 330-2044 typically costs 20-30% less per page. The only case for standard capacity is very light printing where a big cartridge would sit for well over a year.
How do I stop the printer from wasting toner on cleaning cycles?
You cannot eliminate cleaning cycles entirely, since they are how the printer keeps print quality consistent, but you can reduce them by leaving the printer powered on instead of switching it off between jobs. Frequent power cycles trigger a cleaning routine each time, which consumes toner without printing a single page.
