Dell (310-5726, 310-5731, 310-5730, 310-5729)
The Dell 310-5726 is part of the four-cartridge toner family for Dell's 3000, 3010, and 3100 series color laser printers — the 3000cn, 3010cn, 3100cn, and related models. The set covers black (around 4,000 pages) plus cyan, magenta, and yellow (around 2,000 pages each), matching how these printers actually consume toner.
Because color printers need all four cartridges to produce full-color output, buying the complete set together — genuine OEM or quality compatible — is both convenient and economical. Compatible sets in particular bring the cost of a full refresh down to a level where keeping a spare set on hand is practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 310-5726-series and 341-3568-series numbers?
They identify the same cartridge set under Dell's alternate part-numbering: the 310-5726, 310-5731, 310-5730 and 310-5729 numbers and the 341-3568, 341-3571, 341-3570 and 341-3569 numbers cover the same black, cyan, magenta and yellow toner. Either number gets you the right cartridge, since Dell used both numbering schemes for the same supplies.
My black prints are fading but colors are fine, which cartridge do I need?
Replace just the black cartridge from this set and leave the colors alone. The cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges are independent, so there is no need to touch them until their own levels run low.
Toner is smudging off the page, is the cartridge bad?
Smudging that rubs off usually points to the fuser not bonding toner to the paper rather than a bad cartridge, so check that the paper-type setting matches the loaded stock. If the cartridge itself is leaking toner inside the printer, with loose powder around the slot, remove it, wipe the area with a dry cloth, and replace the cartridge.
