Two blacks are better than one when black is the cartridge that actually stops your workday. This 2-pack puts two W2180A standard-yield black cartridges in your supply drawer for $106.96 — together they print about 2,600 pages of black text, and the pack is $14.00 less than buying the two singles separately. The cartridges fit the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw and the MFP 3301cdw, MFP 3301fdw and MFP 3301sdw. One goes into the printer today; the second waits on the shelf, so the next "toner low" message is a two-minute swap instead of a delivery wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in this pack?
Two standard-yield black cartridges, both W2180A, each rated at about 1,300 pages (ISO/IEC 19798). That is about 2,600 pages total for the printers in the 3201dw and 3301 family — no colors are included, so pair it with color singles or the 218A 4-color set if your colors are also low.
Does each cartridge in the 2-pack have its own chip?
Yes — every cartridge in this pack ships with a new, latest-generation chip fitted. You install each one exactly like a genuine HP cartridge, with no chip transfer from the empty one. Our supplier lists these cartridges as "New Chip", and we have had no chip problems with them. No seller can guarantee a future HP firmware update, but the chips here are the current generation.
Is the 2-pack better value than one high-yield cartridge?
It depends on how you print. Two W2180A cartridges give about 2,600 pages for $106.96 (about 4.1 cents a page). One W2180X high-yield cartridge gives about 3,200 pages at about 2.4 cents a page — cheaper per page if you print a lot of black. The 2-pack wins when your black use is moderate but steady and you value having a spare on the shelf.
How should I store the spare cartridge?
Keep it sealed in its box, flat, away from direct sunlight and heat. Toner cartridges store well for a long time as long as the seal stays intact — open it only when you are ready to install it. That is the whole point of this pack: the second cartridge stays fresh until the first one runs out.
What warranty do the cartridges in this pack carry?
Each cartridge carries the store's compatible-toner coverage: a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns. If either cartridge prints badly from the start, reseat it firmly; if the fault continues, support (Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5 PM CST) will replace it under the warranty.
