Why choose the genuine HP 220A toner cartridge
The W2203A is the standard magenta cartridge of the HP 220 series. All-in-one cartridge: toner, imaging drum and developer are replaced together, so print quality is like new at every change, with no separate drum to replace. Genuine HP toner powder matched to the fuser and paper of these printers: sharp text, even solids, no "cartridge not recognized" message. Colors stay consistent from one cartridge to the next.
220A or 220X: which capacity?
The W2203A (1,800 pages) suits occasional or moderate use. From about a hundred pages a month, the W2203X (5,500 pages) costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers.
Printers compatible with the W2203A
The W2203A is compatible with 5 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 4302fdw (5HH64F)
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 4302fdn (4RA84F)
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 4302dw (4RA83F)
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 4202dw (4RA88F)
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 4202dn (4RA87F)
Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Page yield
1,800 pages per ISO/IEC 19798 (5% coverage per color, letter-type documents). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation and maintenance
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the used cartridge, take the new one out of its bag, rock it gently to distribute the toner, pull the protective tab if present, then insert until it clicks. The printer recognizes the cartridge and resets the counter. Used HP cartridges are returned free of charge through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The W2203A suits regular office use: the cartridge (1,800 pages) lasts about 6 months at 300 pages per month and about 2 months at 1,000 pages per month. Beyond that, the W2203X (5,500 pages) costs less per page.
Store the cartridge in its packaging, flat, away from light and humidity, and unpack it only when installing. At the "Low" alert, order: the printer keeps printing until "Very low" then "Replace". The driver's EconoMode extends life for drafts. Genuine cartridges preserve the printer's HP warranty.
