Frequently Asked Questions
This listing says "Premium Quality" but costs the same $385.63 as the standard 310-8707 5-pack. What is actually different?
On the numbers, nothing — and we would rather say so than invent a difference. This Premium Quality 5-pack and the standard 310-8707 5-pack carry the same part number, the same 6,000-page rating per cartridge, the same $385.63 price, and the same warranty and returns cover. "Premium Quality" is a listing label, not a measurable upgrade we can point to. Judge this pack on the verifiable figures: five cartridges, 30,000 rated pages, $77.13 per cartridge.
What does the pack work out to per cartridge and per page?
Five cartridges for $385.63 is $77.13 each. Spread over the combined 30,000-page rating, that is about 1.29 cents per page — against $91.92 and roughly 1.53 cents per page if you buy the same 310-8707 one at a time. Buying five separately would cost $459.60, so the pack saves $73.97 regardless of which label is on the listing.
Which printers does this pack serve?
The 310-8707 is the high-yield black cartridge for the Dell 1720 family — the 1720, 1720dn and 1720DTN. This listing is keyed to the part number rather than one model badge, which is how most purchasing systems record it. If your stores list shows 310-8707 against your 1720-series printers, this pack matches that line. The broader Dell catalog is gathered on our Dell brand page.
Is each cartridge in the pack individually sealed?
Yes — a 5-pack is five complete, individually packaged 310-8707 cartridges. You open one when the printer needs it and the other four stay sealed on the shelf, which is what makes a bulk buy practical: no cartridge sits open and ageing while it waits its turn. Store them flat, cool and dry, and take them oldest-first.
How long a supply is 30,000 pages, realistically?
Divide 30,000 by your monthly page count. Around 1,000 pages a month makes this roughly a two-and-a-half-year supply; a busy department at 2,500 a month gets about a year. Ratings assume standard 5% text coverage, so graphics-heavy printing shortens the span. The pack suits steady, predictable volume best — very light users should honestly consider singles instead of tying up $385.63.
What stands behind the pack if a cartridge fails?
The same protection as every compatible cartridge we sell: a one-year warranty and one year of free returns, spelled out on our shipping and returns page. Shipments leave from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California, and if anything about an order needs sorting out, support is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
