Frequently Asked Questions

This listing says "Premium Quality" but costs the same $117.06 as the standard Dell 3000 set — what is actually different?

On the numbers you can verify, nothing: this Premium Quality set and the standard set carry the same four part numbers — 310-5726 black, 310-5731 cyan, 310-5730 magenta, 310-5729 yellow — the same 4,000-page rating per cartridge, the same $117.06 price and the same warranty and returns cover. We will not invent a measurable difference where the specification does not show one. Judge the listing by those figures and by the cover below, which is identical either way.

Which cartridges am I actually getting?

Four high-yield cartridges: the black 310-5726, the cyan 310-5731, the magenta 310-5730 and the yellow 310-5729, each rated at up to 4,000 pages. Those are the high-capacity Dell part numbers for the Color Laser 3000 family, so a set replaces all four slots in one order instead of four separate ones.

How does the per-page picture look on a printer this age?

At $117.06 for four 4,000-page cartridges — roughly $29.27 a cartridge and about 0.73 cents per page across the set's total capacity — the running cost stays low even though the printer itself is an older model. For an office still using a 3000 for everyday color documents, toner cost is unlikely to be the thing that forces an upgrade.

Is this set made by Dell?

No. It is a compatible set produced by a third-party manufacturer for the Dell 3000, not a Dell-branded product. The fit, the part numbers and the rated yields match the originals; the saving comes from dropping the brand premium, which on discontinued models like this one is considerable when originals can be found at all.

What cover comes with it?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns cover every cartridge in the set, standard or Premium listing alike. If a cartridge underperforms, contact us Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST; the details are on our shipping & returns page.

Should I take all four cartridges out of the box at once?

Only the ones the printer actually needs. A Dell 3000 asks for cartridges one at a time, and the black 310-5726 typically goes first. Leave the others sealed until their turn comes — a sealed cartridge keeps indefinitely in a cool, dry place, and there is no benefit to opening the 310-5731, 310-5730 or 310-5729 early.
