Which black ink cartridge is the best value for my HP printer?
Reviewing the table above, we can see that the Original HP 305X Black LaserJet Toner Cartridge prints almost twice as many sheets than the HP 305A model and at a slightly higher overall price. However, the HP 305X has a lower cost per printed sheet and could be considered the better overall value for your printing needs.
Depending on how much you print, the higher yield ink cartridge would be the more cost-effective option. If you don’t print as often, you can go for the cheaper ink cartridge option with the HP 305A. Alternatively, the higher yield option of the HP 305X ink cartridge will help to not have to replace your toner cartridge as often.
Ink Genie prides itself on being an ink and toner company with a focus on environmental actions, so the last item in the table is very relevant to our environmental goal and significant to us when making the best decision.
Both ink cartridges come with a recycling guide included in the box, and although both packages are the same size and created with the same material, we notice that the HP 305 version X is slightly more eco-friendly while having a larger capacity.
Overall, both black toner cartridges are very similar in terms of operating temperature range, storage temperature range, operating humidity range, and storage humidity range and both versions are built for laser printing technology.
So, the decision of which black ink cartridge is better is now up to you. Since you will be able to compare all the points above against your needs at home or at work to buy your best toner cartridge, you’ll be able to determine which is best for you.
