HP 202A & 202X Toner Cartridges

For offices printing colour documents daily, proposals, reports, client-facing materials, black toner consistently depletes faster than the three colour cartridges. This is predictable: most mixed-use office documents are text-heavy, so the black cartridge typically needs replacing once or twice before any colour cartridge runs low. Because the four cartridges are replaced individually, you only buy what you actually need. The 202X high-yield cartridges make the most sense once your monthly page count is consistent: the 202X black yields 3,200 pages and each 202X colour yields 2,500 pages, compared to 1,400 pages for the 202A black and 1,300 pages per colour on the 202A (ISO/IEC 19798, 5% coverage). For lighter or irregular use, the 202A keeps outlay lower. Ink Depot stocks genuine HP 202A and 202X toner cartridges, and compatible 202X toner cartridges. Compatible cartridges include a built-in chip for accurate toner-level reporting and are backed by your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

General FAQ

What is the difference between HP 202A and HP 202X toner cartridges?

The HP 202A is standard-yield and the HP 202X is high-yield. The 202A black (CF500A) yields 1,400 pages and each 202A colour, cyan (CF501A), magenta (CF503A), yellow (CF502A), yields 1,300 pages. The 202X black (CF500X) yields 3,200 pages and each 202X colour, cyan (CF501X), magenta (CF503X), yellow (CF502X), yields 2,500 pages. Both tiers fit the same HP Color LaserJet Pro M254 and M281 series printers. Yields are based on ISO/IEC 19798 at 5% coverage.

Which HP printers use 202A and 202X toner cartridges?

HP 202A and 202X toner cartridges are compatible with the HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw, M254dn, and M254nw, and with the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M280nw, M281fdn, M281fdw, and M281cdw. If you are unsure which model you have, check the label on the front or underside of your printer.

Are compatible HP 202A and 202X toner cartridges safe to use?

Yes. Compatible HP 202A and 202X toner cartridges stocked at Ink Depot include a built-in chip that allows your printer to read toner levels accurately. Using a compatible toner cartridge does not void your printer's manufacturer warranty under Australian Consumer Law. If a compatible cartridge causes a fault, your consumer guarantee rights still apply to the printer.
