W2180X is HP's part number for the HP 218X Black. The box usually shows both 218X and this W-code; they are the same product. The fifth character is the color (0 = black) and the last letter the capacity (X = high yield).

HP 218X Black (W2180X) is the Original HP black high-yield — more stated pages per cartridge and fewer replacements; whether it is cheaper per page depends on the current price and that yield LaserJet toner cartridge. HP states an average yield of about 3,200 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798 with continuous printing. Actual yield varies considerably with the content printed, page coverage, settings and use.

W2180X or W2180A?

Both fit the same printers. What matters to a buyer is the stated yield, the price and so the current cost per page:

  • W2180X — 218X, ~3,200 pages. The higher stated yield means fewer swaps; the current cost per page is in the comparison above.
  • W2180A — 218A, ~1,300 pages. See W2180A.

Which one is cheaper per page depends only on the current price divided by the stated yield — not on how much you print. Check it with the price you see:

Frequently asked questions about W2180X

What do codes like W2180A and W2180X mean?

They are HP's part numbers. "W218" is the HP 218 family, the next digit is the color (0 black, 1 cyan, 2 yellow, 3 magenta) and the last letter is the capacity (A standard, X high yield). So W2182X is high-yield yellow.

Retailers also add their own item numbers (Staples, Best Buy SKU, Walmart item) — the W218… code is the one to match. Four-pack model numbers such as W2180AQ1 or W2180XQ1 identify retailer bundles.

Is 218X always cheaper per page than 218A?

Usually, but not by rule. 218X holds about 2.5 times the black toner of 218A and about 2.1 times the color toner, but it also costs more. It is cheaper per page whenever its price is less than that multiple of the 218A price. Our A vs X page recalculates this from the currently checked prices.

Which color cartridge do I need?

HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201/3301 printers use four separate cartridges: black (K), cyan (C), yellow (Y) and magenta (M). The printer's control panel or the HP Smart app shows the level of each. Replace only the color that is low.

The OEM codes per color: black W2180A/W2180X, cyan W2181A/W2181X, yellow W2182A/W2182X, magenta W2183A/W2183X. A or X is a capacity choice, not a color — black in X with colors in A is fine.

What does "sold by Staples, Inc. on Best Buy" or "sold by Toner Planet on Walmart" mean?

Best Buy, Walmart, Newegg and Amazon run marketplaces: the website is the platform, but another company can be the seller and ship the order. Returns, warranty handling and shipping then follow that seller's terms.

We record the platform, the seller and (where shown) who fulfils the order separately, and show the seller on every row. A marketplace listing of an Original HP cartridge is not the same as buying from HP or from the platform itself — check the seller before you order.

Do compatible or remanufactured cartridges work in an HP 218 printer?

Often, but with a real risk. HP labels the 3201dw and 3301 models "dynamic security enabled": HP says such printers are intended to work only with cartridges that have new or reused HP chips, and that firmware updates can block other cartridges — including ones that work today.

Remanufactured cartridges that reuse an HP chip (Staples, Clover) and compatibles with their own chip (Swift Ink, True Color Toner, INKFUN) are sold for these printers. We have not tested any of them; we report what each seller states and what its return policy is.

Why do HP 218, 219 and 222 exist side by side?

HP sells this printer generation in different regions with different cartridge numbers and says the product is regionalized. HP's own table: HP 218 for North America, Australia and New Zealand; HP 219 for the UK, Ireland and Europe only; HP 222 for Latin America, ISE, Greater Asia, India and China only.

For a printer bought in the United States, buy HP 218A or HP 218X.
