Dell (331-0719, 331-0716, 331-0717, 331-0718)
The Dell 331-0719 is the high-yield black toner cartridge for Dell's 2150 and 2155 series color laser printers and multifunction units — the 2150cn, 2150cdn, 2155cn, and 2155cdn. Rated at about 3,000 pages, it outlasts the 1,200-page standard black cartridge by a wide margin, which is exactly what a shared color printer needs.
It belongs to a four-cartridge family with matching high-yield color cartridges (roughly 2,500 pages each in cyan, magenta, and yellow). Buying the full high-yield set — genuine OEM or quality compatible — is the most effective way to bring color printing costs under control on these machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the 331-0716 through 331-0719 cartridges come in high-yield versions?
This page lists the cartridges for the family: 331-0716, 331-0717, 331-0718 and 331-0719, one per color. If your printer's documentation lists a separate high-capacity number for any of these slots, that version fits the same slot and is the better buy for heavy printing; otherwise compare the page yield printed on the box.
I am seeing ghost images of previous pages, which cartridge causes that?
Ghosting, a faint repeat of content further down the page, is usually a worn drum inside one toner cartridge rather than a toner-level problem, so note which color the ghost appears in and replace that 331-07xx cartridge. If ghosting shows in all colors equally, the fuser or transfer roller is the likely cause instead.
What is the right way to install a new 331-07xx cartridge?
Remove all sealing tape and the protective cover, rock the cartridge gently side to side to level the toner, then slide it into its color-coded slot until it seats firmly. Print a test page afterward; the first few pages after a swap sometimes look light until toner feeds evenly through the cartridge.
