Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for HP 125A toner cartridges are evaluated under ISO/IEC 19798 standards at 5% page coverage per colour. Routine office printing involving heavy text or full-page graphics will deplete toner faster than standard test pages, with black toner requiring more frequent replacement than individual colour cartridges.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 125A | Standard | Black | 2,200 | $0.086 |
| 125A | Standard | Cyan | 1,400 | $0.12 |
| 125A | Standard | Magenta | 1,400 | $0.12 |
| 125A | Standard | Yellow | 1,400 | $0.12 |

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP Color LaserJet CP1515, CP1515n, and CP1518ni all take the same toner cartridges?
Yes, all three printer models share the same HP 125A toner cartridge series (CB540A black, CB541A cyan, CB542A yellow, and CB543A magenta), making them completely interchangeable across these printers.
Can I replace individual HP 125A colour cartridges as they run out, or do I need to swap all colours at once?
You can replace each 125A cartridge independently as it empties. The printer tracks toner levels separately for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, so you only replace the specific colour that is depleted.
What is the difference between genuine HP CB540A black toner and compatible alternatives?
Genuine HP CB540A toner cartridges are manufactured by HP using original factory specifications, while compatible CB540A cartridges are third-party replacements built to match ISO page yield and print performance at a lower cost per page.
How does page coverage affect the lifespan of HP 125A cartridges during office print runs?
Rated yields for 125A cartridges are calculated at 5% page coverage per colour. Printing dense charts, photo-heavy presentations, or bold graphics increases coverage beyond 5%, which consumes toner faster and reduces the total page output per cartridge.
