Laser 1720
The Dell 1720 is a compact monochrome laser aimed at personal and small-office desktops, printing up to 28 ppm with true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. A 250-sheet covered drawer, manual feed slot, and 25,000-page monthly duty cycle give it more stamina than its small size suggests.
Toner comes in standard (3,000-page) and high-capacity (6,000-page) versions from the 310-8700/8706/8707/8708/8709 family — the high-capacity compatible cartridge below effectively halves your cost per page. Genuine Dell options are stocked too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner cartridge does the Dell 1720 use?
The 1720 uses the 310-8700-series black toner cartridges spanning standard, high-yield and extra-high-yield capacities (310-8700 through 310-8709); GR332, MW558, MW559, PY449, RP380 and RP441 are alternate Dell numbers for the same family. All fit the same slot; choose by page yield.
Which capacity is right for a busy 1720?
For a busy printer, the extra-high-yield cartridges in the 310-870x range (or their alternate-number equivalents) are the economical pick: the cost per page drops significantly at the top capacity and you will swap cartridges far less often. Just make sure you will empty it within about a year so the toner stays fresh.
The 1720's output looks speckled, what should I check?
Speckling across the page often comes from a cartridge past its prime or toner contaminated by humidity, so check the cartridge's age and storage history. If a fresh 310-870x cartridge still speckles, clean the printer's interior corona wire area; a dirty charge wire scatters toner unevenly.
