The EU-region siblings of the W1840 platform: W1850A (HP 185A, 1,050 pages) and W1850X (HP 185X high yield, 2,300 pages) cover the HP LaserJet M223 and MFP M248 launched in 2026. We supply both in an eco remanufactured build and a patented new-built build with a smart counting chip, at page yields matched to the originals.
Rated page yields are listed against the original (OEM) figures. Free samples are available for qualified buyers — you only cover the courier.
Factory-assigned Area: EUR — the W1850 code is the European-market SKU of the 1840 cartridge platform, separate from the W1840 pair used in North America.
An eco remanufactured version with a low-carbon footprint, and a patented new-built version with a smart counting chip. Quote either, or both.
The new-built cartridge carries a smart counting chip recognised on installation — no chip swapping, no external resetter.
1,050 pages for W1850A and 2,300 pages for W1850X — matched to the originals, with lower cost per page across the cartridge life.

The HP LaserJet M223 is the single-function member of the 1840-series platform sold in Europe, taking both cartridges in the family: W1850A at 1,050 pages and the high-yield W1850X at 2,300 pages. Because the family is a 2026 launch, early stock lets distributors serve the installed base before supply settles.
The MFP M248 is the multifunction member and shares the identical cartridge set, so one stocking list covers both the print-only and the all-in-one device. For offices printing in bursts, the 2,300-page W1850X roughly halves cartridge changes for the same output.
Both builds run to the same page ratings and fit the same machines; they differ in how they are made and what they are sold for.
Remanufactured cartridges are rebuilt on recovered OEM cores with fresh toner, a new drum and consumable parts replaced. The carbon footprint is materially lower than a new-build cartridge, and the unit cost is the lowest of the two — the right pick for cost-driven markets and high-volume consumable programmes.
Patented new-built cartridges are made on our own patented housing with a smart counting chip, no reused core, and a build designed for safe, reliable listings in distribution and managed-print channels where an IP position matters.
We hold both, so you can position one against the other in the same territory — or split a single order across the two builds.
See the W1840A / W1840X series (M220 / M246) for the North-American SKUs of the same platform, the W1790A / W1800A series (M214 / M216), or browse all laser toner and the HP cartridge range.

HP LaserJet M223 and HP LaserJet MFP M248. Both devices take either cartridge in the family — the standard W1850A (HP 185A) or the high-yield W1850X (HP 185X).
Capacity only — both are black and fit the same machines. W1850A is the standard cartridge at 1,050 pages; W1850X is the high-yield version at 2,300 pages, which means fewer cartridge changes and a lower cost per page.
They are regional SKUs of the same 2026 platform. Factory data assigns W1840A / W1840X to the North-American machines (M220 / MFP M246) and W1850A / W1850X to the European machines (M223 / MFP M248). Match the code printed on the cartridge you are replacing and test a sample before substituting one for the other.
The remanufactured version is rebuilt on recovered OEM cores with fresh toner and new consumable parts, giving a lower carbon footprint and the lowest unit cost. The patented new-built version uses our own patented housing with a smart counting chip and no reused core, for buyers who need patent-compliant supply. Page yields are identical.
The patented new-built version ships with a smart counting chip that the printer recognises on installation. Chip configuration for the remanufactured build depends on the market — tell us your market and we will confirm before you order.
Yes. Sample units are free — you only cover the courier cost. Send us the models, the build you want to test, the printer model you are testing on and your market, and we will arrange the shipment from Zhuhai.
