What to know about compatible 416A and 416X toner
Compatible versions are available for every colour in both the 416A and 416X capacities, as well as in multi-colour value packs for each capacity. Genuine HP cartridges are available individually in both capacities, and as a multi-colour 416A value pack. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself remove your rights under Australian Consumer Law. However, damage caused by a faulty cartridge may not be covered by the printer manufacturer's warranty. Our guide to genuine vs compatible cartridges explains the differences in more detail.
Pro Tip
When reordering by part number, check the final letter before adding to cart. W2040A is a 416A black rated at 2,400 pages, while W2040X is a 416X black rated at 7,500 pages. The numbers are otherwise identical, so a reorder copied from an old invoice can easily land you the wrong capacity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix 416A and 416X cartridges in the same printer?
Yes. Both capacities fit the same printers, so you can choose 416A or 416X for each colour independently. For example, you can run a 416X black alongside 416A cyan, magenta and yellow.
Do compatible 416A and 416X toners have the same rated yield as genuine?
Yes. Our compatible cartridges are listed at the same page yields as genuine HP: 2,400 pages black and 2,100 pages per colour for 416A, and 7,500 pages black and 6,000 pages per colour for 416X. The main difference is the cost per page, which is shown in the yield table above.
Does the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f use the same toner as the M454 and M479?
Yes. The Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f uses the same 416A and 416X cartridges as the Color LaserJet Pro M454dn, M454dw, M454nw, M479dw, M479fdw and M479fnw. If your office runs a mix of these printers, one stock of 416 toner covers all of them.
Is HP 416A the same as W2040A?
Yes. 416A is HP's series name, and W2040A, W2041A, W2042A and W2043A are the part numbers for Black, Cyan, Yellow and Magenta. The 416X range follows the same pattern with W2040X to W2043X. Note that Yellow is W2042 and Magenta is W2043, which is not the usual CMYK order.
