Expected Page Output and Toner Capacity
Page yields for HP mono toners are measured under standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing conditions with 5% page coverage. Actual yield varies based on print density, batch sizes, and graphics. Standard 138A (W1380A) toners suit occasional document printing, while high-yield 138X (W1380X) cartridges deliver lower per-page printing costs.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 138A | Standard | Black | 1,500 | $0.081 |
| 138X | High Yield | Black | 4,000 | $0.058 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Selecting the Right HP Toner Setup
For routine daily office invoices and internal memos, standard 138A (W1380A) cartridges provide dependable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HP 138X toner physically larger than the standard HP 138A toner?
No, both the standard 138A (W1380A) and high-yield 138X (W1380X) cartridges share identical physical dimensions and fit into the exact same slot inside your HP LaserJet Pro 3002dn. The 138X simply contains more toner powder inside the casing.
How does page coverage affect the output of my HP 1380 series toner?
Rated yields for 138A (W1380A) and 138X (W1380X) cartridges are calculated using the ISO/IEC 19752 standard based on 5% page coverage (roughly a short business letter). Printing heavy graphics, bold fonts, or full-page tables will consume toner faster and reduce total page output.
Can I store spare HP 138A or 138X toner cartridges for long periods?
Yes, genuine HP black laser toner cartridges have a shelf life of up to 24 months when stored in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme moisture.
