Frequently Asked Questions

I use my MFP for copies and faxes as much as printing. Does this cartridge feed all of that?

Yes. On an all-in-one like the MFP 178nw, every printed copy and every incoming fax page is drawn from the same black cartridge as your computer print jobs. Scanning is the exception — it uses no toner at all.

Why does my black seem to run out faster than the colors?

Because black does the heavy lifting on an MFP: copies, fax output and everyday documents are almost entirely black, while the colors wait for graphics and photos. It is normal for the W2060A to cycle through faster than its 116A color partners.

What is the page rating?

Up to 1,000 pages from this cartridge. Copy-heavy households and offices should treat that as a planning number — dense originals copied at high volume pull the real figure down somewhat.

Is this the right listing for just the black?

It is. One black cartridge, $38.46, part number W2060A. The matching cyan, magenta and yellow are separate listings with their own part numbers.

How do I know when it is truly empty?

The printer reports a low or empty black supply on its status page and panel, and copies start to look pale before the machine stops. Ordering when the low warning first appears keeps the fax line from going dark over a weekend.

What backing comes with it?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with support reachable Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Cartridge

An MFP earns its keep in three jobs at once, and all three lean on the same black cartridge. This compatible 116A black keeps an MFP 178nw or 179Fnw copying, faxing and printing without drama. It ships from the closest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses; check the shipping and returns page for delivery details, and find the companion colors in our HP section, starting with machines like the Color LaserJet 150a family this platform shares. The whole 116A platform is just five machines: Color LaserJet 150a, Color LaserJet 150nw, Color LaserJet 178nw, Color LaserJet 178nwg, and Color LaserJet 179fnw — and every one of them runs on this same cartridge family. Alongside this one sit 116A cyan cartridge (W2061A), 116A magenta cartridge (W2063A) and 116A yellow cartridge (W2062A), and the 116A four-color set if you would rather restock the whole machine at once. Black runs out first in most offices, so it also comes as a 116A black 2 pack.
