The cost of replacing toner cartridges is exhorbitant. The materials involved manufacturing the toner cartridges do not justify the high replacement cost. We participate in the recycling program. Why can't we purchase recycled cartridges, or at least get a credit to apply to replacements? This lowers my opinion of the HP brand.

HP 218X (W2183X) Magenta Toner: Expensive, Locked
on December 3, 2025

I bought the HP 218X High Yield Magenta Toner (W2183X) expecting a smooth, premium experience. Instead, it felt like I was paying extra to stay trapped. HP’s ecosystem makes it impossible to use alternative toner that should work just fine, and that “only HP approved supplies” approach comes off less like quality control and more like customer control.
The bigger issue is the business model behind it. HP is effectively holding customers hostage by limiting which vendors can sell toner that will actually function in the printer. If HP wants loyalty, it should compete on quality and value, not by blocking competition and turning basic printing into a permission based system.
This was the last straw for me. Between the high cost and the feeling that HP is prioritizing lock in over customer respect, this is the last HP printer I’m buying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

All 4 toners are easy to install, work well, with accurate colors.
Negatives are cost and erroneously told that my new printer would qualify for Instant Print which it doesn’t.
