Toner Cartridges for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printers

Having the appropriate ink is essential to keep your printer working properly and get quality printing results. Your HP LaserJet P1102W toner won’t last forever, and though it may appear that merely refilling the toner cartridge is the fastest and cheapest answer, that solution might end up costing you even more money than a simple replacement.

Why Should I Replace My HP LaserJet P1102W Toner Cartridge Instead of Refilling It?

The toner could also be too thick, which can lead to clogging. Both of these issues mean the standard yield capacity of your refilled toner cartridge will be significantly lower than that of a new HP LaserJet P1102W toner cartridge, which could lead to higher printing costs over time. Also, if any damage is done to your HP LaserJet P1102W printer because of this third-party toner cartridge, it is possible your printer’s warranty may become voided.
