The HP 213 toner range gives you three capacity levels to choose from across black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Depending on your supported HP Color LaserJet Enterprise model, you can choose from 213A standard-yield, 213X high-yield and 213Y extra-high-yield cartridges.
That difference in capacity is worth checking before you order. Genuine HP 213A cartridges are rated for approximately 3,500 pages in black and 3,000 pages for each colour. HP 213X increases this to approximately 9,000 pages in black and 6,000 pages per colour, while HP 213Y reaches approximately 18,000 black pages and 12,000 pages each for cyan, magenta and yellow.
CartridgesDirect stocks genuine HP 213 toner alongside compatible alternatives where available. Check your complete printer model before choosing a cartridge, particularly across the Enterprise 5700, 5800, 6700 and 6800 ranges where compatibility can vary between models.
Stocked orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day, with free shipping on orders over $75.
Having three yield levels means you can choose capacity around the way your printer is actually used rather than automatically moving to the largest cartridge.
HP 213A is the standard-yield range. Genuine cartridges are rated for approximately 3,500 black pages and 3,000 pages for each colour. This can be a practical starting point where printing volume does not call for a larger cartridge.
HP 213X is the high-yield range, increasing capacity to approximately 9,000 pages in black and 6,000 pages each for cyan, magenta and yellow. If toner is being replaced regularly, the additional capacity means more printing between cartridge changes.
HP 213Y provides the highest capacity of the three, with a rated yield of approximately 18,000 pages for black and 12,000 pages for each colour. It is worth considering for compatible printers with heavier printing requirements where cartridge changes happen more frequently.
Higher yield does not automatically mean it is the right purchase for every printer. Look at your printing volume, how often you currently replace toner and the price of the available cartridge before deciding.
Page yields are approximate and actual results vary according to page coverage, documents printed and operating conditions.
HP 213 toner is available in four separate colours: black, cyan, magenta and yellow. Each cartridge can be replaced independently. If your printer is asking for black toner but the other three colours still have usable capacity, there is no need to replace them at the same time.
The same applies to colour. If cyan reaches its replacement level first, you can order cyan while continuing to use the remaining black, magenta and yellow cartridges.
This also means your next toner order does not necessarily need identical yields across every colour. Where your exact printer supports the relevant cartridge options, you can select each replacement according to your printing requirements.
Check the supplies or toner status on your printer before ordering to see which cartridges are actually approaching replacement.
HP 213 cartridges are made for selected HP Color LaserJet Enterprise printers and multifunction printer models, including machines within the 5700, 5800, 6700 and 6800 families.
There are standard printer, MFP and Flow MFP variants within these ranges, so the complete model number matters when selecting toner.
Rather than choosing a cartridge because the series number looks familiar, check the model shown on the printer itself and compare it with the compatibility information on the individual product page.
If you know your printer model but not the toner number, use the CartridgesDirect Finder tool to see cartridges listed for your machine.
It is also important not to assume that similarly numbered HP toner families are interchangeable. HP 213 toner, for example, is a different cartridge family from HP 212 toner.
CartridgesDirect stocks genuine HP 213 toner along with compatible alternatives where available, giving you another point of comparison once you have confirmed your printer, colour and required capacity.
Genuine HP 213A, 213X and 213Y cartridges are manufactured by HP for supported Color LaserJet Enterprise devices. Original HP 213 cartridges use HP TerraJet toner technology.
Compatible cartridges are produced by third-party manufacturers for supported printers and provide an alternative when comparing the ongoing cost of toner.
Availability can differ between cartridge numbers, colours and yields, so check the individual product listing to see the current options for the cartridge you need.
Using a third-party cartridge does not automatically remove consumer-guarantee rights that may apply under Australian Consumer Law. However, a problem caused by a third-party consumable can still be relevant to a warranty claim.
The jump between 213A, 213X and 213Y is substantial enough that it is worth comparing more than the cartridge price alone. For example, genuine black toner moves from approximately 3,500 pages with 213A to 9,000 pages with 213X and 18,000 pages with 213Y.
For cyan, magenta and yellow, the progression is approximately 3,000, 6,000 and 12,000 pages respectively.
If you are deciding between two yields, compare the current cartridge price with the rated number of pages. This gives you a more useful picture of the cost of running the printer than looking only at which cartridge costs less at checkout.
You can also look at your previous toner use. If black is replaced far more often than the colour cartridges that information can help when choosing the capacity for your next black cartridge.
Since 2006, CartridgesDirect has been supplying printer cartridges and printing supplies to customers across Australia. The HP 213 range includes genuine HP toner and compatible alternatives where available, with black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges across different yield options.
If you are unsure which cartridge matches your printer, the CartridgesDirect Finder tool can help you check compatible toner using your exact model. Australian-based support is also available if you need help confirming the right cartridge, colour or yield before ordering.
Stocked orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same day, with free shipping on orders over $75.
Once your toner cartridges are empty, eligible cartridges can be collected for recycling instead of being placed in general waste. CartridgesDirect is a Cartridges 4 Planet Ark partner and includes a free postage-paid recycling satchel with eligible cartridge orders.
Collect a minimum of eight eligible empty cartridges, place them inside the satchel and seal it securely. The satchel can then be placed in an Australia Post roadside mailbox for return. Collected cartridges are processed through Close The Loop so suitable materials can be recovered for recycling.
