Expected page output and cartridge yield
ISO/IEC 19752 quality standards determine black toner yields for monochrome laser printers based on five percent page coverage. High-capacity cartridges deliver significantly higher printing efficiency during extensive text runs.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55A | Standard | Black | 6,000 | $0.057 |
| 55X | High Yield | Black | 12,000 | $0.043 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a 55X (CE255X) high-yield cartridge in the LaserJet P3011 if it currently has a standard 55A (CE255A)?
Yes. The 55X (CE255X) toner uses the same physical housing dimensions and internal locking mechanism as the standard 55A (CE255A), allowing it to fit directly into the printer while delivering twice the page output.
What standard is used to calculate page yields on 55A and 55X cartridges?
Page yields for these monochrome HP cartridges are measured using the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. This test reflects continuous printing at standard 5% coverage, though heavy graphics or dense black text blocks will increase actual toner usage per page.
How does toner lifespan differ between compatible and genuine HP 55A/55X cartridges?
Both genuine and compatible 55A (CE255A) and 55X (CE255X) cartridges use sealed dry toner powder that does not dry out over time, unlike liquid ink cartridges. Unopened cartridges remain usable for years when stored in a cool, dark location away from moisture.
