The drum is not the toner
The drum is the photoconductor cylinder that transfers the image; the toner is the powder that forms it. They are two different consumables and are replaced at very different rates.

A compatible HP drum is the imaging unit (the photoconductor cylinder or OPC) that fuses the toner onto the paper inside your laser printer. It's not the powdered toner: it's the part that transfers it sheet by sheet.

You pay for the part, not the brand.
The drum lasts between 10.000 and 80.000 pages, compared to the 1.000-3.000 of the toner. Replacing only the drum, rather than a whole cartridge, is the most economical option.

In many Brother, Lexmark and OKI lasers and some Samsung or Canon models the drum is a consumable separate from the toner. Choose your brand and find the exact imaging unit.
Getting the right imaging unit is simple: you can go by the reference printed on the drum, by your printer model, or by checking whether you really need the drum or just the toner.
Look at the label on your current drum or its box and find the code: 120A, CF219A (19A), CF232A (32A), CF257A (57A) or CE314A (126A). With that reference you'll pinpoint the right part directly.
If you can't see the reference, tell us the exact model (for example, LaserJet Pro M203dw or Color Laser 150nw) and we'll confirm which drum matches it via WhatsApp.
Remember: the drum is not the toner. The imaging unit lasts from 10.000 to 80.000 pages and the toner from 1.000 to 3.000. Often it's enough to replace the toner and the drum holds up for several more cartridges.
Your Startoner consumable is covered by a three-year legal conformity guarantee. Printer coverage is governed by the manufacturer’s terms and may exclude damage caused by consumables. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself establish the cause of a fault; keep your documentation and contact us if a problem occurs.

Batch traceabilityCovered by Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007 art. 120 and EU Directive 2019/771. If a drum arrives defective or fails within the period, we replace it free of charge.
Free replacement for defectsThe drum is the imaging unit: the photoconductor cylinder (OPC) that transfers the toner to the paper. The toner is the powder that forms the image. The toner runs out much sooner (1.000-3.000 pages), whereas the drum lasts between 10.000 and 80.000 pages and serves several toner cartridges in a row.
When the printer shows a drum end-of-life warning, or when repetitive defects appear: vertical streaks, smudges or faded areas that don't go away when you change the toner. If the problem persists with new toner, it's almost always the drum.
No. European law protects your right to use third-party consumables: installing a compatible drum does not void the device's warranty. In addition, each drum carries its own 3-year legal warranty.
Look for the reference printed on your drum or its box (for example 19A, 32A, 57A, 120A or 126A) or tell us your printer model. With either detail we'll confirm the correct imaging unit; if in doubt, message us on WhatsApp.
It depends on the reference: from the 12.000 pages of the CF219A (19A) to the 80.000 of the CF257A (57A).
