5 Things to Know About HP 216X High-Yield Cartridges for the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw

The M255dw uses four separate HP 216A cartridges, one per color, with standard yields of about 2,300 pages each for black and color.

Upgrading to the 216X high-yield series nearly doubles your black runtime to roughly 4,500 pages, with colors hitting 4,000 pages.

The cost-per-page math favors the 216X cartridges because the price premium over standard yield is reasonable for the extra pages.

You should buy the high-yield cartridges if you print frequently, as the upfront cost saves money over time compared to replacing standard cartridges more often.

Avoid standard 216A cartridges unless you print very rarely, because the lower page count makes them more expensive per page in the long run.
