Dell (330-5846, 330-5850, 330-5843, 330-5852)
Six fast Dell color lasers — 5120, 5120cdn, 5130, 5130cdn, 5140 and 5140cdn — share a single toner platform, and this page stocks its high-capacity line: black 330-5846, cyan 330-5850, magenta 330-5843 and yellow 330-5852. The family also exists in a standard capacity of roughly 9,000 pages in black and 6,000 per color; the cartridges listed here double that, to about 18,000 pages for black and 12,000 for each color.
Platform sharing is a fleet manager's friend. One set of four numbers covers every model in the line, so stocking, reordering and troubleshooting all collapse into a single routine no matter which of the six machines is asking for toner.

Which cartridge should you buy?
On machines built for speed and volume, high capacity is rarely the wrong answer — the standard versions exist for lighter duty, but the cartridges on this page halve your replacement frequency against them. Buy by what is empty: the 330-5846 High Yield Black 3 Pack suits mono-heavy fleets that burn black between color changes. The three-color set is the clever buy when the colors finish together while black still has thousands of pages left, and the full four-color set covers a complete family change in one order.
Chip, toner and everyday use
Rated yields assume typical office documents; a steady diet of full-page color graphics will consume any cartridge in this family well ahead of its rating, which is arithmetic rather than a defect. Fleets get the most from these cartridges by rotating stock first-in, first-out, so no spare ages years on the shelf. When a cartridge is changed, note which slot it came from — with four similar-looking cartridges in play, the label check is the whole job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 330-584x and 330-585x numbers?
Together, the wider 330-58xx range covers both capacities of the same four color slots: the numbers on this page — 330-5846, 330-5850, 330-5843 and 330-5852 — sit alongside 330-5839, 330-5845, 330-5848 and 330-5851 in spanning standard and high-capacity versions of the black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges. Everything sold here is the high-capacity version.
Which models does this one toner set actually cover?
All six: the 5120, 5120cdn, 5130, 5130cdn, 5140 and 5140cdn. A cartridge bought for the 5120cdn on one floor fits the 5140cdn on another, which is the practical payoff of the shared platform.
When is the three-color set the right purchase?
When the colors run down together but the black 330-5846 is still going strong. The 330-5850 / 330-5843 / 330-5852 High Yield 3 Color Set refreshes cyan, magenta and yellow in one box without paying for a black cartridge you do not need yet.
