Expected page output and replacement cycles
Monochrome toner yields are measured using the standardized ISO/IEC 19752 testing methodology under 5% page coverage. High-volume office document printing with dense text or heavy graphics depletes toner faster than standard test pages.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 87A | Standard | Black | 9,000 | $0.055 |
| 87X | High Yield | Black | 18,000 | $0.037 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Choosing compatible 87A and 87X toner cartridges offers substantial cost savings for busy office environments without sacrificing crisp text quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Every compatible unit is tested for reliable page yields and clear print clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow M527c and M527z use the same toner cartridges?
Yes. Both the M527c and M527z models belong to the same printer series and use identical HP 87A (CF287A) and 87X (CF287X) monochrome toner cartridges.
Can I install an 87X high-yield toner cartridge in an M527 printer if it previously used an 87A?
Yes. The 87X (CF287X) cartridge has the exact same external dimensions as the standard 87A (CF287A) and fits into the exact same toner slot inside the printer. It simply contains more toner for an 18,000-page yield compared to 9,000 pages for the 87A.
How does switching to 87X high-yield cartridges affect overall office printing expenses?
High-yield 87X toners double the page yield while significantly reducing the cost per printed page. For high-volume enterprise printing, this substantially lowers total cost of ownership and reduces the physical frequency of cartridge changes.
Will using compatible 87A or 87X toners trigger firmware warnings on HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow printers?
Quality compatible 87A and 87X cartridges are fitted with up-to-date microchips designed to communicate smoothly with HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow firmware, accurately tracking toner levels without interrupting print jobs.
