138X Black Toner Cartridge Replacement Compatible for 3001 Series

In this review the Halloya 138X Black toner cartridge replacement is assessed for office users who need a high-yield, plug-and-play replacement for specific LaserJet Pro machines. The single biggest reason to consider it is the built-in latest chip that eliminates the usual OEM chip swap, making installation straightforward and reducing setup time for busy workgroups. The cartridges promise high page yield and clear text output, so this review focuses on real-world fit, print quality, and ease of use for monochrome document printing.

Key Features

• With Latest Chip: The cartridge arrives with a preinstalled chip so there is no need to remove and install an OEM chip manually, which speeds up replacement and avoids frustration.
• Printer Compatibility: It is compatible with 138X 138A W1380A W1380X printers including Pro 3001dw, 3001fdw and MFP 3101fdw, providing a reliable match for those models.
• High Page Yield: Each 138X black cartridge offers up to 4,000 pages at typical 5% coverage, reducing how often you need to swap consumables in a busy office.
• Two-Pack Convenience: The package contains two black cartridges along with a user instruction sheet, which is useful for uninterrupted printing and less frequent ordering.
• Premium Performance: The replacement is designed to deliver sharp text and consistent black density so everyday prints look professional.

Who It's For

This cartridge set is aimed at small to medium offices and home offices running the LaserJet Pro 3001 series and MFP 3101fdw that want a cost-effective, high-yield alternative to OEM toner. It suits users who value a simple installation process, since the latest chip comes preinstalled and avoids manual chip work.

Those who should look elsewhere are users with different printer models or anyone who requires vendor-certified OEM consumables for managed print environments where strict brand conformity is enforced. Also, if you need color printing, this monochrome toner is not applicable.
