The 12 Best Alternatives to HP Cartridges

An analogue cartridge from a Russian brand that produces a good alternative to the original models for HP printers. It supports several series of laser devices at once and at the same time costs around 500 rubles. True, the declared cartridge resource is lower than that of most competitors, but 2000 pages is enough for home use or the needs of a small office. Another important nuance indicated in customer reviews is the clarity of printing without obvious blots, but the color can hardly be called perfect black. Among other shortcomings, we highlight periodic complaints about the build quality of the cartridge itself: there are scuffs or scratches on the case, and the plastic is very fragile.

This cartridge is a complete copy of the original model from HP, which reduces the risk of potential compatibility issues. Suitable for more than 10 laser printers, plus supports the option of refilling without dancing with a tambourine, and this is an additional plus to save on printing, especially in the office. Judging by the responses of customers, the majority do not have any special complaints about the quality of printing, but there are some cases with the appearance of a gray background around the text. Another drawback is the small declared resource, which is only 2000 pages, and complaints periodically appear that even this volume is not produced in reality. Well, the last thing is that the cartridge itself, that the toner smells very unpleasant, although the smell disappears over time.

A sought-after black cartridge that supports more than 10 models of HP laser printers and MFPs, including the LaserJet M2727nf and LaserJet 1320. An excellent analogue at an affordable price and with good print quality, which is confirmed by customer reviews. True, there are not so many responses, so some of the possible defects remain behind the scenes, but it is known for certain that there are periodic problems with the contacts of the cartridge, which is why it constantly has to be moved. This is partly offset by a very large declared resource, reaching 3000 printed pages - this is not the highest result on the market, but clearly higher than the original models offer.

One of the most popular analogues of cartridges for laser printers of the HP LaserJet 10xx and 30xx series. It is distinguished by an affordable price and a very high print quality, which allows you to achieve a "delicious" price / quality ratio. Another noticeable plus is a large resource, because the model is designed to print up to 3500 pages. Now for the sad moments. Firstly, in customer reviews there are complaints about defective copies, but in general there are not so many of them, after all, the reliability coefficient according to the DNS service is 99.93% with very impressive sales volumes.Secondly, the cartridge perfectly prints full black color, but there may be problems with halftones, which is especially noticeable when trying to print b/w photos.

Affordable replacement cartridge for several series of laser printers from the HP LaserJet Pro line. It is based on a patented photoconductor and a number of other design elements that increase operational reliability, although there are complaints about the quality of the body, which seems to many to be very flimsy. Nevertheless, this is one of the best-selling non-original cartridges in Russia in its market niche, because the print quality here is almost perfect, and the declared resource almost always coincides with the real one. True, many consider 1600 pages to be a small volume, but at the same time, competitors offer the same figures at a much higher cost, and you can’t even talk about the originals with their insane price tag - one ruin.

Budget analogue for replacing original HP cartridges for MFPs of the LaserJet Pro M127fn, M201dw series and their modifications. A purchase will cost an average of a little more than 500 rubles, while a resource of 1,500 pages is declared, although there are enough reviews on the network that complain about inflated numbers. It supports refilling, but there are a couple of unpleasant moments: usually, after replacing the toner, the print quality deteriorates noticeably, and the case design is very flimsy and prone to damage, so experts advise considering the model as a one-time use, especially since the price allows. Plus, all the negative aspects are more than compensated by the high quality of printing at the factory gas station, which buyers consider as close as possible to the original cartridges.

Inexpensive alternative for cartridges for HP LaserJet Pro M104a, LaserJet Pro M132a series printers and their modifications. It is inexpensive, there are no compatibility problems, i.e.this is a full-fledged analogue that replaces the original consumable without a noticeable loss in print quality. When assembled by Sakura uses only high-quality filling without Chinese components, which further increases reliability - a service life of up to 10 years is declared. Of course, not without a fly in the ointment, represented by a working resource reduced to 1400 pages, which in any case allows you to save on buying an original cartridge from HP. It should also be understood that the toner in the analog is slightly less black, so printing a large number of shades of gray on one sheet does not reach the level of the factory model.

Inexpensive analogue cartridge for LaserJet Pro laser printers from HP. It is much cheaper than the original consumable, but at the same time it provides almost identical print quality, especially for text documents. The resource declared by the manufacturer is 1600 pages. This is not the best, but not the worst indicator on the market, and, judging by the reviews, there are no problems with resource development - the cartridge is enough for the specified print volume in most cases.There are no special complaints about the overall quality - the case is assembled securely, nothing breaks off or cracks during operation, and the built-in chip is recognized by the printer as original.

This is not a separate cartridge, but a complete set of four analogues for inkjet printers of several series from the HP DeskJet line. In addition to a better price (compared to the originals), it also offers an increased resource, for example, a black cartridge is designed for 550 pages, color ones, of course, will print less. There are no problems with compatibility, but there may be design flaws, due to which the contacts do not fit well, and the cartridge itself sits tightly in the slot. Another drawback is that the shades do not quite match the original, this is especially noticeable in the red color. In general, we have the most affordable kit among those that have been tested by many buyers.

Compatible HP inkjet cartridge. This model is an excellent analogue that supports more than a dozen printers from the three series of the Deskjet line. An interesting point: the cost of the cartridge is higher than that of the original one by an average of 300-400 rubles, but the print resource is 4 times higher, due to which tangible savings are provided. But there are complaints that the real resource is lower than the declared 480 pages, although saving on refilling still turns out to be quite a lot. We also note that users write in reviews about a very high level of print quality, comparable to the original cartridge: rarely stains sheets, clearly prints small elements, black is really black.

Demanded and inexpensive black cartridge-analogue for inkjet printers and MFPs from HP.The average price tag is around 500 rubles, and the declared resource is 550 pages, i.е. the cost of printing one sheet below 1 ruble is one of the best indicators on the market. Add to this the print quality close to the original and we get a simple recipe for success, so that this cartridge does not linger on store shelves. On the other hand, the ink used is ideal for text, but with photo printing, the quality of grayscale starts to sag a lot, so we recommend a model for a small office where only documents and simple graphics need to be printed.

Black cartridge for HP Deskjet inkjet printers in three series at once. A good analogue of the original model, but has not yet received a large number of reviews, so it received a decrease in the final rating. Another important point - the declared resource is 480 pages, and the price is close to 1300 rubles, which looks a little expensive, although it is still significantly cheaper than native consumables. If we evaluate the few customer reviews, then they talk about a very high quality of printing, and most importantly, about the conformity of the declared resource with reality, i.e.the output is a good combination of price and number of printed pages, while many competitors inflate the resource figures, sometimes twice.
