Frequently Asked Questions

Should I keep a spare black cartridge on the shelf, or order when I run out?

Keeping one spare is the habit that prevents the 4 p.m. scramble. This W2060A stores well — toner powder does not spoil on the shelf — so a backup bought today is perfectly good whenever the installed cartridge finally fades.

How should a spare be stored?

Flat, in its sealed packaging, in a normal room away from radiators and sunny windows. Stored that way, a compatible 116A cartridge keeps for a long stretch without any special care.

Which cartridge am I actually stocking?

The black W2060A, rated for up to 1,000 pages, fitting the HP Color LaserJet 150 series and MFP 170 series. The code on the box is what to match against the empty cartridge — not the printer's marketing name.

What does the spare cost me?

$38.46 for the single cartridge in this listing. Keeping one in the drawer means the next low-toner warning is a two-minute swap instead of a stalled workday.

Can a spare sit too long and cause trouble?

Realistically no, within any normal stocking period. Just give the cartridge a gentle side-to-side rock before installing it after long storage, which settles the powder evenly.

What if the spare turns out to be faulty when I finally open it?

Coverage runs from purchase: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with help available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This Cartridge

This listing suits the planners — the people who would rather open a drawer than a browser tab when the printer blinks low. The compatible W2060A suits machines from the Color LaserJet 150a up through the MFP 179Fnw, and we hold stock in IL, PA, GA and CA for when the drawer runs empty after all. Delivery terms are spelled out on the shipping and returns page, and the rest of the HP 116A family is one click away when colors need the same treatment. From the smallest desk printer to the fullest MFP, the platform — Color LaserJet 150a, Color LaserJet 150nw, Color LaserJet 178nw, Color LaserJet 178nwg, and Color LaserJet 179fnw — keeps one cartridge standard: the 116A. The rest of the family sits alongside it: 116A cyan cartridge (W2061A), 116A magenta cartridge (W2063A) and 116A yellow cartridge (W2062A), and all four cartridges together in the 116A four-color set. Black runs out first in most offices, so it also comes as a 116A black 2 pack.
