Our take on the HP 26X High-Yield Black Toner Cartridge

The HP 26X is a high-yield black laser toner cartridge rated for about 9,000 pages, roughly triple the standard 26A yield. It fits HP LaserJet Pro M402 and M426 printers and is aimed at offices that print a lot. This listing is for a refilled cartridge, not new HP stock, so yield and reliability can vary by refiller. Shoppers should compare the refilled price against new HP 26X pricing before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the HP 26X worth it over the standard 26A?
Yes if you print often. The 26X yields about 9,000 pages versus roughly 3,000 for the 26A, so the cost per page is much lower. Light printers may not finish the cartridge before it dries out or the printer sits idle.
Will this work in my LaserJet Pro M426fdw?
Yes. The 26X fits the LaserJet Pro M402 and M426 series, including the M426fdw. Check your printer's model number on the front panel before ordering.
Is this a genuine HP cartridge?
No. This listing is a refilled cartridge, meaning an emptied HP shell was cleaned and refilled by a third party. Genuine new HP 26X cartridges are sold separately and cost more.
How many pages will it actually print?
HP rates the 26X at about 9,000 pages at 5% coverage. Real output is lower with dense text, graphics or duplex printing, and refilled yield varies by refiller.
Could a refilled cartridge void my printer warranty?
In the US, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act generally prevents a manufacturer from voiding the whole warranty just for using third-party supplies. HP can still decline repairs if it shows the cartridge caused the damage.
When is the price lowest?
Toner prices tend to dip during back-to-school and end-of-year office supply sales. Compare the refilled price here against new HP 26X listings before buying.
