Ricoh Savin 917 Toner Cartridges (Compatible)

Savin 917

The Savin 917 is a departmental black-and-white digital system from the same engine family as the Ricoh 717, built for shared office use rather than a single desk. Its toner is the 841718, a black cartridge rated at roughly 7,000 pages per change. One cartridge, one color, no color set to manage - the supply side of this machine is deliberately simple.

The 917 earned its keep in departments that needed steady, unglamorous output day after day. It is the kind of shared system a whole team prints and copies on without thinking about it, and the cartridge life matches that rhythm: around 7,000 pages between changes means toner is a monthly housekeeping item, not a daily worry. Offices that already run Ricoh-built machines will find the 917 familiar, because the same cartridge platform runs through the whole family.

Which cartridge should you buy?

There is exactly one cartridge for the 917 - the 841718 black - so the real choice is pack size. A department that prints steadily will usually come out ahead with a 4-pack: fewer orders, a lower cost per cartridge, and always a spare within reach when the low-toner warning appears. A single cartridge makes sense when the machine is lightly used or when you are stocking a site for the first time. Nothing else changes between the options - same cartridge, same roughly 7,000-page rating, same fit. If the same office also runs any of the sibling models below, buying multipacks is even easier to justify, because one stock serves them all.

Chip, toner and everyday use

These compatible 841718 cartridges include the chip the 917 needs to recognize the cartridge and track remaining toner. The swap takes a minute: open the front cover, pull the old unit straight out, and push the new one in until it clicks. If output looks light right after a change, remove the cartridge and rock it gently end to end to redistribute the toner, then reinstall. Keep the spare sealed and stored flat at normal room temperature; heat and sunlight shorten a stored cartridge its life. And remember that the 7,000-page figure assumes about 5 percent coverage - coverage-heavy reports will use toner faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

The black 841718 cartridge (Type 1170D), rated for roughly 7,000 pages. It is the only cartridge the 917 takes, and it is sold here as a single, a 2-pack and a 4-pack.

Is the 917 related to the Ricoh 717?

Yes - the 917 sits in the same engine family as the Ricoh 717, which is why its supplies come from the shared Ricoh cartridge platform rather than a Savin-only design.

How long does one cartridge last in a department?

At standard coverage a cartridge is rated for about 7,000 pages. A busy department may go through one in a few weeks; a quieter one can stretch it across a couple of months.
