When to replace 414a toner for your HP printer?

When the printer toner level gets low, there are two types of messages on HP printers to reminder you to replace toner.

Cartridge is low: When you received this message, do not hurry to replace the cartridge immediately. You could click “Cartridge Icon” on the top of the printer control panel to check the actual toner levels as it may still remain some toner. If the print quality is still acceptable, you could continue to print with the current cartridges until the output gets faded or acceptable.

Cartridge is very low: When you found this message, you could consider replacing it. But if you just have no extra cartridge on hands, there is a way may help you. Take out the cartridge to shake it from side to side several times and then take a try. You still have chances to get it to work.

How to choose a proper toner cartridge?

HP published two types of toner cartridges with different page yields for your choice.

Standard Capacity: HP 414a, it includes 4 packs of toner cartridges with standard page yield. The 4 separate cartridges can be also known as w2020a, w2021a, w2022a, w2023a in HP part number. According to the ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) testing guidelines, the black cartridge can yield 2,400 pages while the color cartridges yield 1,200 pages. 



High Capacity: HP 414X, black cartridge with 7,500 pages, color cartridge with 6,000 pages. With more than 3 times the page yield of the standard version, this high yield toner cartridge can provide a longer service life for you but with a lower cost per page. Why? Let’s check the cost. For example, a pack of HP 414A costs $84.99. With 2,400 pages yield, it means you need to pay 3.5 cents once print a page. 414x black cartridge costs $171.99 but with 7,500 pages, the high capacity cartridge can decrease the cost to 2.5 cents. It’s obviously a cost-effective option if you print a lot every day and want to cut the budget of your printing expense.


This may be a choice, but we can offer you a better one, v4ink 414X DIY toner cartridge. You can get 1 pack of v4ink 414x black toner cartridge only at $49.99.
