Dell (XKP2P, YX24V, MHT79, J95NM)

XKP2P, YX24V, MHT79 and J95NM are the standard-yield codes for Dell's compact color lasers - black, cyan, magenta and yellow respectively - covering the Color Laser 1250, Color Laser 1350 and Color Laser 1355 models and the Color Laser C1760 and Color Laser C1765 families. Dell catalogs the same four slots in a high-yield numbering as well, and those are the cartridges stocked on this page: 810WH black, C5GC3 cyan, XMX5D magenta and WM2JC yellow, each also numbered in Dell's numeric system as 331-0778, 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779. Every listing is a compatible cartridge with a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.

The standard-yield family exists for a reason: not every color laser works hard. A machine that prints a few color pages a week - a home office, a small retail counter, a spare printer in a back room - can take the better part of a year to finish even a standard cartridge. Fitting the smaller XKP2P-series sizes there keeps toner cycling while it is fresh and avoids paying up front for pages that may never be printed. This page brings that family's printers together with the high-yield equivalents, so the capacity decision can be made with both options in view.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Choose by turnover, not by the size of the number on the box. If a standard cartridge lasts your printer three to six months, the XKP2P-series sizes are the right scale and the high-yield listings here would mostly sit aging in the machine. If instead the printer burns through a cartridge in a matter of weeks, the high-yield 810WH-series units stocked above cut both the per-page cost and the number of interruptions. One middle path deserves mention: because each color is independent, the black slot - always the hardest worked - can go high-yield while the colors stay standard.

Chip, toner and everyday use

These cartridges report through a chip, and the printer estimates each color separately, so replace colors individually as they empty rather than in a block. Store unopened spares sealed in their original packaging, lying flat in a cool, dry place out of sunlight; with standard-yield cartridges especially, write the purchase date on the box and install oldest stock first, aiming to use each cartridge within about two years. When a print starts to fade, a gentle side-to-side rock of that color's cartridge redistributes the toner and usually restores density for the remaining pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What printers use the XKP2P, YX24V, MHT79 and J95NM cartridges?

Dell's compact color laser lines: the 1250, 1350 and 1355 printers and multifunction models, and the C1760 and C1765 families. The four codes are the standard-yield set for those machines, one code per color slot.

Are the XKP2P series and the 810WH series interchangeable?

They fit the same slots in the same printers, but they are not the same size: XKP2P and its color partners are the standard-capacity builds, while 810WH, C5GC3, XMX5D and WM2JC - also numbered 331-0778, 331-0777, 331-0780 and 331-0779 - are the high-capacity builds. Either family can be installed, and capacities can be mixed across the four slots.

How should spare cartridges be stored?

Sealed, flat and indoors: a closet shelf at normal room temperature, away from heat vents and direct sun, is ideal. Toner is a dry powder and keeps well in those conditions; the goal is simply to install each spare while it is still reasonably fresh rather than years old.

My printer lists a 331-0778 number, not XKP2P. Am I on the right page?

Yes. The numeric codes belong to the high-yield version of this same four-slot family, and the printers overlap completely. Match the color and either numbering system to the slot you are replacing.
