The 1720dn includes built-in networking via Ethernet and a built-in duplexer for automatic double-sided prints. The Dell 1720 mono laser printer family offers two models: the base model costs $200, while the 1720dn (which we tested) costs $300. The 1720 printers have a monthly duty cycle of about 25,000 pages, which makes it a good fit for a small to medium-size work group. Dell estimates that per-page costs are as low as 1.67 cents, which is excellent. The standard cartridge yields about 3,000 pages for $100 ($70 through use and return) and the high capacity version yields about twice that number for about $130 ($90 through use and return). The printer's control panel is simple: just a continue button and a cancel button, as well as several LEDs to alert you to problems such as paper jams.ĭell offers both standard and high-capacity toners cartridges for the 1720 models and has a use-and-return program that offers a discount to users who return spent cartridges.
The 1720dn lacks a straight pass-through, which is great for thicker media that may be problematic for the printer's rollers. It has adjustable paper guides to facilitate feeding different sizes of paper. A slot just above the tray serves as the manual feed tray, in which you can feed single sheets of media. It ships with a 250-sheet paper tray, though you can expand the input capacity with an optional 550-sheet drawer. It stands 15.6 inches wide, 13.6 inches deep, and 10 inches tall, and weighs just more than 25 pounds.
The Dell 1720dn is a blocky, charcoal gray printer with no-nonsense, all-business looks.
