Pro Tip
HP LaserJet Enterprise M602 and M603 printers support both CE390A and CE390X cartridges, but M601 series models only accept standard CE390A cartridges. Always confirm your printer's exact hardware sub-model before ordering high-yield units.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right HP 90A or HP 90X Toner Cartridge Pack
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine 90A cartridge (from $408.18) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
Watching the budget? Compatible cartridges match the fit and yield of genuine ink at a lower price, from $39.42 for a single 90A cartridge or 2-pack 90A for $74.91.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use 90X high-yield toner cartridges in an HP LaserJet M601 printer?
No, the HP LaserJet M601 printer series only accepts standard 90A (CE390A) toner cartridges. The 90X (CE390X) high-yield cartridge is physically keyed for use in M602, M603, and M4555MFP models only.
Why does the 90X cartridge offer lower overall operating costs than the 90A?
The 90X contains more than double the toner powder of a standard 90A cartridge in a similar physical shell, delivering 24,000 pages compared to 10,000 pages. This significantly lowers cost per printed page and reduces container waste in high-volume environments.
Does the drum unit need to be replaced separately on printers using 90A or 90X cartridges?
No, HP 90A and 90X cartridges feature an integrated drum architecture. Every time you swap out the toner cartridge, you automatically replace the imaging drum and developer unit, eliminating extra drum maintenance costs.
Is CE390X the same as 90X?
Yes, CE390X is the HP manufacturer part number for the 90X high-yield black toner cartridge, while CE390A refers to the standard 90A cartridge. Both naming conventions represent the exact same physical items.
