Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to work with HP Laser Jet Pro MFP 3101fdw, MFP 3101sdw, 3001dw and 3001fdw printers for straightforward replacement.
• High yield: Each cartridge offers up to 4,200 pages at 5 percent coverage, reducing the frequency of replacements in busy offices.
• Built-in chip: Cartridges include a chip so there is no need to transfer the chip from the old cartridge during installation.
• Large capacity formula: The toner formula and larger capacity are made to prevent leaks and deliver clear, consistent black prints over long runs.
• Two-pack value: The package contains two 138X black cartridges, providing an extended supply and lower cost per page for frequent printing.

Who It's For

The 138X Black Toner Cartridge two-pack is aimed at small businesses, home offices, and administrative departments that print documents, invoices, and client-facing materials that demand crisp, smudge-resistant black text. It is particularly useful where uptime matters and frequent cartridge changes would disrupt workflow.

Those who should look elsewhere include users with very low monthly print volumes who prefer single-cartridge purchases, or anyone using printers outside the HP Laser Jet Pro MFP 3101fdw/3101sdw/3001dw/3001fdw family, since compatibility is specific to those models.
