The W2180X is the cartridge for people who print black in volume: about 3,200 pages at $77.92, which works out to roughly 2.4 cents a page — close to half the per-page cost of the standard-yield W2180A. It is the high-yield black for the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw and the MFP 3301cdw, MFP 3301fdw and MFP 3301sdw. Physically it installs exactly like the standard cartridge — same slot, same fit — it simply carries more toner, so a busy office changes black a third as often.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the W2180X fit the same printers as the W2180A?

Yes. The Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw and all three 3301 MFP models accept both the standard-yield 218A and the high-yield 218X line, and you can mix them freely — a high-yield black alongside standard-yield colors is a common setup.

Is the chip included, and will the printer accept it?

The chip is included and current: this cartridge ships with a new, latest-generation chip, so you install it and print — no moving a chip over from your empty cartridge. Our supplier lists it as "New Chip", and we have had no chip problems with these cartridges. The honest boundary every seller should state: a future HP firmware update is outside anyone's control, but this cartridge's chip is the up-to-date generation.

How much cheaper is the W2180X per page than the standard black?

The W2180A costs about 4.7 cents per black page (about 1,300 pages at $60.48). The W2180X costs about 2.4 cents (about 3,200 pages at $77.92, ISO/IEC 19798 ratings). If black printing is most of what you do, the high-yield cartridge returns its higher purchase price quickly and then keeps saving.

Who should stay with the standard-yield cartridge instead?

Light printers. If a black cartridge lasts you most of a year, the W2180A ties up less cash and is the sensible pick. The W2180X earns its keep when you go through a black cartridge every few months or faster.

What cover does this cartridge have?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, the store's standard for compatible toner. If output fades early, check the cartridge is fully seated and print a cleaning page; if the fault persists, contact support Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5 PM CST.
