Customer Questions (7)


Q
Does the hp m281fdw toner go bad or expire?
26 June 2024
A
HP M281fdw toners do have a 2 year expiry date on the box / cartridge. Toner technically doesn't expire but the software on the microchips may go out of date after that time. The only way the toner can go bad, is if the cartridge has been opened, in which case it will last around 6 months because toner can absorb moisture due to humidity, or if the sealed box is stored somewhere damp or humid. It's always best to store the M281fdw toner sealed in its box or in a very dry and warm area.

Q
Hello, can you confirm how you keep the 3rd party toner up-to-date for the Colour-Laserjet-Pro-MFP-M-281fdw to prevent HP from de-activating your printer? Secondly, do you have a recycling scheme to return the spent cartridges for reuse or recycling? Thanks, James.
12 March 2022
A

Hi there,

Our cartridges will come very up to date and will work correctly as we quarantine any stock that have issues due to HP updates. The best way to make sure that compatible cartridges continue to work correctly in the printer is to switch of automatic updates. You can do that via the printer's menu, in the setup > service > LaserJet Updates > manage updates section.

If you need to recycle your empty cartridges, we have a recycling guide with several options for you to get them recycled here. If you have any further questions please email [email protected] or call 0345 365 3605 and our excellent customer care team will be able to help. 


Q
Can you tell me the cheapest option for colour cartridges for HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw? Is there a bundle I can buy rather than individually? If so does a black have to be included?
21 July 2021
A
Hi there, the cheapest bundle we have on offer is our own brand pack with the part number "RECF540APACK" which does include the black at a cost of £209.36 inc VAT, if you'd prefer to use HP then the cheapest pack we offer is the "CF540APACK" at £255.34 inc VAT which does include the black. If all you require is the colours then the best option would be to buy them individually as this would be cheaper for you.

Q
I have an HP Laserjet and recently purchased my first set of replacement cartridges (not from you) and decided to save money by purchasing compatible cartridges. The print quality is now fuzzy and no longer sharp. I can only assume this is due to a problem with the compatible cartridges as the print quality before with HP cartridges was excellent. I'd like to take advantage of the cost savings of compatible cartridges but am now put off by the experience I have had so far. Can you offer any advice and redeem my faith in compatible cartridges? I will place an order with you today. Regards, Tim.
08 May 2021
A
Hi there, I can assure you that our compatible products will rival the quality of our genuine cartridges and with the savings you can make it is a no brainer! If you'd like further assurance you can call our customer care team on 0345 365 3605.

Q
Do these 203X cartridges work in my M283fdw? The cartridges specified are 207A, but the printer looks the same.
09 February 2021
A
Hi there, you are correct the 203X cartridges will work in your printer, you can also choose the 203A cartridges too.

Q
Hello, could I check if these toners would work on my printer? It's an HP M281fdw with the updated software? Thanks
24 November 2020
A
Hi, these are indeed the correct toners for the HP M281fdw printer. They will work correctly and are guaranteed for 3 years in case you have any issues at all.

Q

08 November 2020
A
