If your office prints presentations, charts, and anything with a warm background, yellow quietly does more work than any other color — and the standard cartridge is the one you will change most. The W2182X is the high-yield answer: about 2,500 rated pages at $77.92, roughly 3.1 cents a page, for the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw and the MFP 3301cdw, MFP 3301fdw and MFP 3301sdw. It fits the same slot as the standard W2182A and can be combined with standard or high-yield cartridges in the other three slots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which printers use the W2182X yellow cartridge?

The four printers in HP's 218 family line: the Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw and the MFP 3301cdw, 3301fdw and 3301sdw. All accept both the 218A standard-yield and 218X high-yield cartridges, so this yellow works in any of them.

Does the W2182X need a chip moved from my old cartridge?

No. It ships with a new, latest-generation chip already fitted — take out the empty cartridge, put this one in, and print. Our supplier lists the cartridge as "New Chip", and the store has had no chip problems with the 218 family. No seller can promise a future HP firmware update will never cause a prompt; the chip fitted here is the current generation.

Why choose the high-yield yellow over the standard one?

Because yellow usually runs out first, and the math favors it: the W2182A standard yellow is about 1,200 pages at about 5 cents a page; the W2182X is about 2,500 pages at about 3.1 cents a page (ISO/IEC 19798 ratings). Same printer, same fit — more than double the pages for $17.44 more.

How often will I change the W2182X?

At about 2,500 rated pages, a moderately color-active office may go a year or more between yellow changes; a print-heavy one, several months. Watch the printer's supply gauge rather than the calendar — coverage per page, not time, is what empties a cartridge.

What warranty applies?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year returns, as with all of the store's compatible toner cartridges. If output streaks from the start, reseat the cartridge and print a cleaning page; persistent faults are handled by support, Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5 PM CST.
