Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2 pack actually save us?

Two single 310-8710 drum units bought one at a time would cost $120.42. This 2 pack is $101.95, so you save $18.47 and bring the price of each drum down to $50.98. On a part rated for 30,000 pages, that drops the drum cost of printing to about 0.17 cents per page. It is the same drum unit, twice in one box — the discount is purely for buying the pair together.

How much printing do two drum units cover?

Each 310-8710 drum is rated for up to 30,000 pages, so the pair covers up to 60,000 pages of drum life for your Dell Laser 1720 or Laser 1720dn. For a single office printer that is a long runway: the first drum goes in when print quality starts to slip, and the second waits on the shelf until the cycle repeats, which for many offices is a year or more later.

Why keep a spare drum on the shelf at all?

Because drum wear does not announce itself politely in advance. A drum usually keeps printing while its surface slowly degrades, and then the streaks, repeating spots and gray background show up in the middle of real work — a report run, invoices, a deadline. With the second drum already in the supply cabinet, the fix takes minutes: swap the unit, reseat your existing toner cartridge in it, and the printer is back to clean pages the same morning.

Does the second drum lose anything sitting in storage?

Kept sealed in its packaging, in a cool, dry place away from direct light, a drum unit stores well — that is how our own warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA hold them. The drum surface is light-sensitive, so the practical rules are simple: leave the second unit in its sealed bag until the day you install it, don't stack heavy boxes on it, and rotate stock so the older unit gets used first.

Which printers do the drums in this pack serve?

Both units are 310-8710 drums for the Dell Laser 1720 and Laser 1720dn. If your office runs one of each, this single pack covers both machines — the drum number is identical, so there is no need to stock two different parts. And remember what this part is: the drum unit, not the toner cartridge. Your toner cartridges transfer into whichever drum is installed.

What if one of the two drums turns out to be a problem?

Each unit in the pack carries the same cover: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns on this compatible Clever Supplies product. If a drum arrives damaged or prints with defects that are not normal wear, the return process on our Shipping & Returns page applies to it just as it would to a single. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you want help confirming the drum is really the culprit before you send anything back.

About This 2 Pack

This 2 pack of Dell 310-8710 drum units gives a Laser 1720 or Laser 1720dn up to 60,000 pages of drum life for $101.95 — $50.98 per unit, about 0.17 cents per page, and $18.47 less than buying the two drums separately. One unit goes in the printer, the other waits sealed on the shelf, so the day streaks and repeating spots announce a worn drum, the replacement is already in the building. Both units are covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. Browse the rest of the Dell range for the matching toner cartridges and other supplies.
