How many pages does it print?
Prints up to 1,400 pages measured according to ISO/IEC 19798 with 5% coverage. This is the same methodology HP uses for its original 203A CF540A cartridge, so the comparison is honest. Real yield depends on the type of document: dense text yields less, while emails and low-coverage documents yield somewhat more.

How is it installed?
- Turn off the printer and open the front door.
- Identify the four CMYK cartridges by color or label.
- If your model separates toner and drum, remove the assembly and separate the cartridge from the drum (do not touch the green roller).
- Remove the used cartridge, shake the new one 5 times, and remove the tab.
- Insert the cartridge into the correct color-coded position.
- Close the cover, turn on the printer, and wait for the chip synchronization (typically 60 seconds).
Will I lose my printer's warranty?
No. Art. 120 of RDL 1/2007 and Directive (EU) 2019/771 prohibit the manufacturer from voiding your warranty for using compatible consumables. According to Directive (EU) 2024/1799 on the right to repair (in force July 31, 2026), using compatible cartridges does not affect the manufacturer's warranty.
If your HP printer shows "non-original cartridge" after an HP Dynamic Security update, do not update the firmware while using compatibles. If it persists, we can help: your cartridge has a 3-year legal warranty.

Does using a compatible cartridge void my printer's warranty?
No. Using a compatible cartridge does not void your printer's warranty. It is backed by Art. 120 of RDL 1/2007 and Directive (EU) 2019/771: the manufacturer must prove in writing that the damage was caused by the consumable. Further supported by Directive (EU) 2024/1799 on the right to repair.
How many pages does it print?
Up to 1,400 pages measured according to ISO/IEC 19798 with 5% coverage. Real yield depends on the type of document: dense text yields less, light graphics may yield more.
How long does shipping take?
24-48h shipping in the mainland. Orders placed before 17:00 are shipped the same day. Algeciras and Cádiz, same day. Free from €50; below that, €3.99.
What if it arrives defective or doesn't work?
Free exchange within 14 calendar days (Art. 102 RDL 1/2007) and a 3-year legal warranty (Art. 120). If it doesn't work, we will send you a new one with a tracking number without you having to return the first one.
Does it have a chip and will my printer recognize it?
Yes, it includes an updated compatible chip. If your printer shows "non-original cartridge" after a Dynamic Security update, do not update the firmware while using compatibles.
How do I change just one color from the CMYK set?
Each color is independent. Replace only the cartridge of the empty color, leaving the other three in place: the printer automatically detects the new one and synchronizes it.
