Standard vs high-yield

HP 131A is the standard cartridge (1,600 pages); HP 131X is the high-yield version (higher yield). If you print more than a few hundred pages a month, the high-yield cartridge usually has the lower cost per page.

The HP LaserJet Pro M251nw is a color printer: it needs a black cartridge plus cyan, magenta and yellow. Each color runs out at its own pace, so you can replace them one at a time or buy a set.

Why use genuine HP toner

Original HP cartridges are built and tested for the HP LaserJet Pro M251nw: the chip reports toner levels correctly, print quality and page yield match HP's ratings, and your printer warranty is not affected. Every cartridge we sell is factory-sealed original HP — never refilled, never compatible.
