Genuine HP 78A black toner

This genuine HP 78A black toner cartridge is engineered for HP LaserJet Pro printers. It produces sharp, professional monochrome output for everyday business documents. The single-pack unit delivers approximately 2,100 pages at standard five-percent coverage.

Small offices and home users printing text

Suits small offices and home users who need reliable black-only printing for reports, letters and invoices. Not for environments that require colour output, high-capacity toner for heavier workloads, or compatibility with non-HP printer models.

The decisive specification is the approximate yield of 2,100 pages measured at five-percent coverage. Verify that your typical page coverage matches this standard so the cartridge meets your expected replacement interval.

Questions about this item

Does the HP 78A toner generate extra heat or noise when the printer runs continuously?

The cartridge itself has no moving parts or fan; heat and noise come from the printer engine, and the toner is rated for 20 to 80% RH operating humidity and 50 to 90.5 °F operating temperature.

Which printer models must I already own for this CE278A cartridge to work?

It is compatible with HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf, P1606dn, and the broader M1536, P1566, P1606 series printers.

Will this 2100-page cartridge work reliably in an older LaserJet P1566 I still use?

Yes, the CE278A is listed for the P1566 series and delivers the same 2100-page yield at 5% coverage in those printers.
