What toner does the HP Color LaserJet Pro M154a need, plus 4 compatible models

Looking for toner for your HP Color LaserJet Pro M154, M180 or M181? The black cartridge you need is the HP 205A (CF530A). Our compatible version yields 1,100 pages with the same print quality and costs a fraction of the original. See the compatible HP 205A CF530A toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The 205A series is the family of consumables fitted by these machines of the Color LaserJet Pro range. They are compact colour machines designed for small offices and workshops, where the "M180" and "M181" models are multifunction (MFP: they print, scan and copy) and the "M154" series is a printer only. If you have any of these models, the CF530A is your black cartridge:

• HP Color LaserJet Pro M154a
• HP Color LaserJet Pro M154nw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M180n
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M181fw

The letters accompanying the model indicate its connectivity functions: the n adds wired network connection (Ethernet), the w incorporates WiFi to print without cables, and the f of the M181fw indicates it's a multifunction with fax. Whatever variant you have: they all use the same consumable. If you have doubts about your exact model, you can check it in our printer finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible HP 205A CF530A toner is the black cartridge of this series. It yields 1,100 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the international standard that measures the yield of monochrome cartridges with a 5% coverage per page), the same reference the original manufacturer uses to declare its durability.

Our cartridge incorporates a chip, so the printer recognizes it with no problems and shows you the toner level normally, just like with a branded cartridge. The print quality is equivalent to that of the original, with sharp text and dense blacks.

Bear in mind that these machines are colour, so in addition to the black they fit cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges of the same 205A family. If you print mainly documents and text, the black is the one you'll run out of first: that's why it's the reference you'll replace most.

How much printing costs you

The difference against the original cartridge is simple: the same yield of 1,100 pages for much less money. With a compatible like the CF530A you lower the cost per page notably without giving up quality, and that shows especially if you print daily.

Frequently asked questions

Is the HP 205A CF530A toner compatible with my M154, M180 or M181 printer?

Yes. The CF530A is the black cartridge of the 205A series and works in the five models of this family: HP Color LaserJet Pro M154a, M154nw, MFP M180n, MFP M180nw and MFP M181fw. As it carries a chip, the printer detects it and manages the levels with total normality.

How many pages does the compatible cartridge print?

It yields 1,100 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (5% coverage per page), the same standard the original manufacturer declares. The real yield depends on your type of document: the greater the ink coverage per page, the fewer pages you'll get, and vice versa.

Does using a compatible toner void the printer's warranty?

No. According to article 120 of RDL 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers), using compatible consumables does not void your machine's warranty. The manufacturer cannot force you to buy only cartridges of its brand. You can check more details on our warranty page.
