Questions and answers
Do HP 219A and HP 219X fit the same printers?
Yes. HP lists both capacities for the same printers, and you can mix A and X colour by colour. The choice depends on the current price, the stated yield and how much you print.
How many pages does an HP 219 cartridge print?
HP states approximately 1,300 pages for W2190A and 3,200 for W2190X. Cyan, yellow and magenta are approximately 1,200 pages each for 219A and 2,500 for 219X. HP states these yields under ISO/IEC 19798 with continuous printing; actual yield varies with what you print.
Does compatible HP 219 toner work?
It depends on the specific product, its chip and your printer's firmware. HP uses dynamic security, so compatible cartridges are neither guaranteed to work nor automatically blocked. Choose an exact OEM match from a seller with clear returns or warranty terms.
How is cost per page calculated?
We divide the checked price including VAT by the page yield stated for that exact cartridge. Unknown delivery is not counted as free, and a compatible cartridge's cost is never calculated with HP's yield.
Are the prices including VAT?
Yes. The main price is the consumer price including VAT as shown by the retailer. Where a retailer also shows an ex-VAT price, we never compare it with another retailer's inc-VAT price.
Is a four-colour set always cheaper?
No. Compare the set price with four single cartridges and consider whether you need all four colours at about the same time. The yields of black and the three colours are not added up into one practical page count.
Why does Amazon.co.uk not always show a price here?
We can link to Amazon as an extra place to buy, but we only use Amazon prices and ratings through an approved Amazon data source. Without that data, Amazon is not part of the numeric price ranking.
Which printers use HP 219 toner?
HP lists the HP 219 cartridges for printers in its Color LaserJet Pro range. Check your printer's full model name and the code on your current cartridge before ordering; UK printer pages are added only after each model and its UK product code have been checked with HP UK.
Can I buy from 219toner.com?
No. 219toner.com is a comparison site and does not sell or dispatch products. You buy on the retailer's own website, and that retailer's prices, delivery, returns and warranty apply.
Does affiliate commission affect the ranking?
No. Retailers are ranked on checked offer data, and commission is never a ranking input. The affiliate disclosure shows whether any programme is currently active.
