Remanufactured Chip - What You Need to Know
Remanufactured chip: Our compatible HP cartridges use a remanufactured chip that lets the cartridge keep working through HP firmware updates that typically block non-genuine cartridges - so no sudden "cartridge blocked" or "incompatible cartridge" messages after an automatic update.
Trade-off: Your printer will not display an accurate toner level. Plan refills by pages printed rather than relying on the on-screen gauge.

Check Before Ordering
This toner cartridge is designed for HP printers that take the HP 81A series. The printer models listed above are the full HP range that uses this cartridge family. Always verify your printer model and toner part number before placing your order, as HP toner series are not interchangeable across printer families.
Commonly confused with: HP 81X (CF281X) (high-yield version - 25,000 pages, same printers); HP 80A (CF280A) (M401/M425 series - not interchangeable); HP 64X (CC364X) (P4015/P4515 series - not interchangeable); HP 87A (CF287A) (M501/M506/M527 series - not interchangeable). None of these are interchangeable with HP 81A.
Compatible vs Genuine: Which Is Right for You?
The compatible HP 81A is the better choice when you want to reduce your cost per page on routine business printing - documents, invoices, reports, internal memos. It is manufactured in audited facilities and backed by our money-back guarantee. If you need HP manufacturer warranty cover or print client-facing work to a strict quality spec, the genuine HP 81A (CF281A) is the safer choice and is also stocked by CartridgesDirect.
