HP 76A 76X Toner Cartridges

The 76A (CF276A) prints up to 3,000 pages and the 76X (CF276X) prints up to 10,000 pages, both at 5% page coverage. That is more than three times the yield from a single cartridge - the largest standard-to-high yield gap in HP's mono LaserJet Pro range. For a small business or office printing consistently day to day, the 76X works out substantially cheaper per page despite the higher upfront price. If the printer sees occasional use - a few dozen pages a week - the 76A keeps your spend lower and avoids holding a high-capacity cartridge that may sit unused for months. Both SKUs fit the same printers, so you can switch between tiers whenever your printing volume changes.

Singles and 2-packs are available in both compatible and genuine options. Compatible toner costs significantly less than genuine and produces comparable output for everyday black-and-white documents; genuine HP toner suits offices where service agreements require original supplies. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible toner does not void your printer's statutory warranty. Free delivery on orders over $99 (conditions apply), delivered to your door across Australia.

General FAQ

Which HP printers use the 76A and 76X toner cartridges?

The 76A (CF276A) and 76X (CF276X) are compatible with the HP LaserJet Pro M404dn, M404dw, M404n, MFP M428fdn and M428fdw. Both cartridges fit every printer in that list - the only difference is how many pages each yields before you need to replace it.

The 76X yields more than three times the pages of the 76A - is it always worth choosing?

Not always. The 76X (CF276X) prints up to 10,000 pages versus 3,000 pages for the 76A (CF276A), which makes it the better value per page for offices printing regularly. For low-volume users - a home office or a printer that only runs occasionally - the 76A's lower upfront cost makes more sense, and you avoid having an expensive cartridge sitting idle. The key question is how quickly your office works through toner, not which number looks larger on the box.

Do the 76A and 76X come in colour versions?

No - the 76A and 76X are black toner only. The HP LaserJet Pro M404 and M428 series are mono printers, so there are no cyan, magenta or yellow variants for this cartridge family. If you need colour laser printing, you will need a different HP printer and cartridge range entirely.
