Specifications

Genuine or compatible?

This toner is a Royal compatible cartridge built to replace the OEM HP 85A (CE285A) black cartridge. It is not an original HP product. Royal compatible toners offer substantial savings on operating costs while maintaining full physical fit inside your printer's carriage slots. While print output is clear and reliable for everyday document needs, compatible toners operate independently of HP factory warranties.
