Page Yield

The HP 206A is a standard yield cartridge and the HP 206X is the high yield version of the 206A. They are both compatible with same printer models: HP Color LaserJet Pro M255 series M255dw MFP M282 series M282nw MFP M283 series M283cdw M283fdw Printer.

HP 206X High Yield3150 pages2450 pages

Whether it’s color or black, the page yield of HP 206X High Yield toner cartridge is 2 times than the HP 206A Standard Yield Toner Cartridge. That means the service life of HP 206X is 2 times longer than the HP 206A. If you don’t want to change the cartridge frequently, or if you print more page in your daily life, It will be better to select HP 206X High yield toner cartridges.

Cost per page

The cost per page comparison of OEM HP 206A/X Black Toner cartridge:
