How many pages does it print?

Prints up to 5,500 pages measured according to ISO/IEC 19798 with 5% coverage. This is the same methodology used by HP for its original 212A cartridge, so the comparison is honest. Actual yield depends on the type of document: dense texts yield less, emails and low-coverage documents yield slightly more.

OEM Equivalent: HP 212A.

How to install?

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).
Extract the used cartridge, shake the new one 5 times, and remove the pull tab.
Insert the cartridge into the correct color-coded position.
Close the cover, turn on the printer, and wait for 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 manufacturers from voiding your warranty for using compatible consumables. Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2024/1799 on the right to repair (in force July 31, 2026), the use of 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 are here to help: your cartridge has a 3-year legal warranty.
