How to Save on HP Toner Cartridges
Replacing a toner cartridge can be pricey. Most cartridges can range anywhere between $50-$200 (depending on what printer you own) and those dollars can add up fast in a busy office. In this quick guide, we’ll review all of the essential stats for 6 popular HP toner cartridges so you can get the most out of your printer. We will also explain page yield and cost per page, two very important printer terms that can make or break any printer budget.
To get the most value from your HP toner cartridge, you will want to look at cartridge page yield and cost per page. Page yield is the approximate number of prints provided by a particular cartridge. Printer manufacturers base cartridge yield on 5% page coverage, or a printed page where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with toner. This is comparable to printing out a short paragraph, so if you have an HP toner cartridge that prints 1,600 pages, you should be able to print out approximately 1,600 short paragraphs based on that yield. If you are printing something lengthier, the number of prints you get from the cartridge will decrease. Since everyone’s printing habits are different, it can be difficult to determine exactly how many prints you can expect from a particular cartridge, but the quoted page yield at least offers a solid jumping off point.
Cost per page is the approximate cost of printing out a single page. Calculating this requires a bit of math, just divide the printer’s page yield by the cost of the printer cartridge. For example, the HP 12A toner cartridge prints 2,000 pages and an original brand HP cartridge sells for $92*. If you do the math, you’ll get a cost per page of 4.6 cents. Thanks to a much lower price point, the LD brand compatible version of the HP12A brings your cost per page down even further. LD’s HP 12A sells for $19.99, offering a cost per page of just .9 cents. The savings are a no brainer!
Cartridge size is another important factor to keep in mind when shopping for a toner cartridge. Most HP printers work with both standard yield and high yield toner cartridges. Which cartridge you decide to buy should depend on how frequently you print. Standard yield cartridges contain the least amount of toner, but are typically much cheaper than a high yield cartridge and if you don’t print often, they are a perfectly acceptable option. High yield cartridges are filled with more toner powder, offering more prints and a competitive cost per page.
