A full set of CMYK costs 30% more than the printer itself.
Cartridge works, but it has to. HP needs to figure out a way to make consumables at competitive pricing.

Overpriced Toner and Forced Brand Loyalty
I am extremely disappointed with the HP 218X Hi Yld Yll Toner W2182X and with HP as a company. The cartridge itself is outrageously expensive, and HP has intentionally locked their printers so you are forced to buy only their branded toner. Third party options that cost far less are blocked, even when they work perfectly well.
This feels like a cash grab, not customer care. The printer hardware was reasonably priced, but the long term cost of ownership is absurd once you realize you are trapped into buying HP toner at inflated prices. There is no technical reason for this restriction other than profit.
Print quality is fine, but it is nothing special or worth the premium. Plenty of other brands deliver comparable results without punishing customers at checkout. HP is prioritizing control and revenue over fairness and choice.
This is the last HP printer I will ever buy. I strongly recommend anyone shopping for a printer look at brands that respect their customers and allow affordable alternatives instead of locking you into overpriced consumables.

HP Black Toner cartridge
A simple, basic toner cartridge. Open the box carefully, and reuse it to send back the used cartridge for recycling.

Held Hostage by HP
I bought the HP 218X High Yield Cyan Original LaserJet Toner Cartridge expecting a smooth, premium experience. Instead, it felt like I was paying extra to stay trapped. HP’s ecosystem makes it unnecessarily hard to use alternative toner that should work just fine, and that “only HP approved supplies” approach comes off less like quality control and more like customer control.
The bigger issue is the business model behind it. HP is effectively holding customers hostage by limiting which vendors can sell toner that will actually function in the printer. If HP wants loyalty, it should compete on quality and value, not by blocking competition and turning basic printing into a permission based system.
This was the last straw for me. Between the high cost and the feeling that HP is prioritizing lock in over customer respect, this is the last HP printer I’m buying.

I was not able to use this toner due to me ordering the wrong item. HP was wonderful and let me return it and order the correct toner. It is working great.

As we all know, HP is just simply very hard to beat. If they simply keep up the great job, innovation, GOOD parts, they should stay on top.

New toner
All 4 toners are easy to install, work well, with accurate colors.
Negatives are cost and erroneously told that my new printer would qualify for Instant Print which it doesn’t.

Good Print Quality
Toner is easy to install. The print quality is good. Lots of warnings once it gets close to being exhausted. Sometimes it causes the printer to hang if you do not acknowledge the warning notification.

Not happy at all
I am getting streaks on my pages. The streaks are either yellow, pink, or blue. I have tried to contact HP but there is no way to explain my problem to the chatbox. I can’t find a number to talk with anyone. I am very disappointed.

Do the HP W2180X, W2181X, W2182X, W2183X toner cartridges come with the "chip" to allow them to utilize the larger capacity? We just purchased a 3301fwd and want to make sure we have the proper cartridges before we run out. It was confusing on Amazon.
Thanks for asking about the HP 218X toner cartridges. They will be compatible with your LaserJet Pro 3301fwd and will be ready to use.
