HP LaserJet M806 CF325X MICR Toner Cartridge Doubles Page Yield Rating

HP CF325X MICR Toner Cartridge Prints Over 60,000 checks

In our check printing area, we just changed out a MICR toner for the M806 Printer.  The MICR quality had finally deteriorated, but the cartridge printed 60,950 pages.  This is due to the low coverage on the checks, probably 2.5%.  The cartridge is rated for 35,000 pages.  The cartridge was a Premium HP CF325X MICR Toner Cartridge on sale at www.advlaser.com for $470.00. While the Premium CF325X MICR is a new cartridge, we are also producing a remanufactured CF325X MICR Toner Cartridge for $230.

We use our MICR toner cartridges daily to print checks for our customers. This gives us an advantage as we are able to monitor our cartridge quality. With every check job we validate our checks with our MICRmate check analyzer to insure each check meets ABA standards.

New: HP CF287A/X New MICR Toner Cartridge for LaserJet M506

The CF287A and CF287X New MICR Cartridges for the LaserJet M507n are in R & D

HP has been keeping us busy with a string of new printer releases. The latest printer from HP is the LaserJet M506 Series. The M506 repalaces the P3015 series. The M506 has both a low yield (CF287A – 9,000 pages) and a high yield (CF287X – 18,000 pages) cartridge. We’ve developed our MICR Variants of these cartridges. The MICR quality is great on these cartridges. Thankfully HP  has not made the high yield cartridges only work in certain higher end printers.

HP CF287A MICR Toner Cartridge (9,000 Pages) $280.00
Cost Per Page: 3.11

HP CF287X High Yield MICR Toner Cartridge (18,000 Pages) $390.00
Cost Per Page:2.16

First Impressions – The M506n printer is speedy at 45ppm and a first page out in 7 seconds. The base model comes with both USB and Ethernet connectivity and duplexing is an option. It’s not as sturdy as it’s predecessor the P3015. But the toner cartridges do hold more toner and you’ll benefit from a lower cost per page. One interesting thing about toner toner cartridge is that there is no seal to pull, the printer comes with “Auto seal removal” and pulls the seal for you when you first use the cartridge. This may confuse first time users that are used to pulling a seal. The printer also comes with “improved” print gauge technology. In our tests the printer ran of out toner when the printer gauge said we still had an additional 100 pages to print. That was close enough for us. The 500 sheet input paper tray is welcome. It also has a usb port for printing documents straight off a usb stick (though I’ve never heard  of anyone actually doing that). The M506n has a street price of $650. Hp also offers a M506x for $949 that is loaded with an extra paper tray, duplexing and a 4.3″ touch screen. For $949 I’d consider moving to the much sturdier HP LaserJet M605n. We are still on the fence as to sell a M506n MICR Laser Printer. But if you are interested call us and that might help us make our decision.

HP M506n MICR Toner Cartridges are available to ship beginning January 13, 2016.

New Product: HP M402n MICR Laser Printer for Check Printing

HP LaserJet M402n MICR Laser Printer

We’ve just released the HP LaserJet M402n MICR Laser Printer. The M402n replaces the M401n. The printers are very similar. The M402n prints at 40ppm vs. 35ppm and the printer is cream colored, not black. Our M402n MICR Laser Printer comes with a CF226A MICR Toner Cartridge rated at 3,100 pages. A high yield CF226X MICR Toner Cartridge is also available with 9,000 page yield.

The M402n MICR Laser Printer is great for check printing and at 1,200dpi the quality is fantastic and crisp. The 40ppm M401n is very quick and produces a first page out in 8.1 seconds from sleep mode, 5.7 seconds from ready. The M401n has auto on/off technology, so you never have to turn it on. It’s ready when you are.

The HP M402 550 sheet paper tray is a great option if you are a heavy user.

New Product: MICR Toner for HP M402 Series CF226A / CF226X

HP CF226A New MICR Toner Cartridge in Stock

HP has released several LaserJet printers this year, and we have developed New Modified MICR toner cartridges for these printers. ALP’s New Modified MICR cartridges are not remanufactured products. Instead, our New Modified MICR line is created by extracting HP’s toner and replacing it with Advantage MICR toner. Designed to meet ANSI and ABA standards, these New Modified MICR cartridges utilize HP’s original packaging and set the industry standard for reliability and quality.

The HP LaserJet M401 is the newest line of laser printers. The new M402 line of printers are very similar to their predecessor printing at 40ppm. The M402 series has 3 models, the M402n, M402dn, M402dw. HP has also released the M426 MFP that uses the 26A/X cartridges as well.

New: HP LaserJet M604, M605, M606 MICR Laser Printers

HP LaserJet M604dn Laser Printer

We’ve just released the HP LaserJet M604, M605, M606 series of MICR laser printers. These printers directly replace the HP M601, M602 and M603 series of MICR laser printers. These printers have proven to be very reliable and the are the go to printer for medium to high volume laser check printing. The newer 600 series printers are faster and add a few features, but for the most part are very similar to the previous series.

What makes these printers a MICR Laser Printer for Check Printing? They come with a New MICR HP CF281A MICR toner cartridge. So if you are buying a printer for check printing and need a MICR toner cartridge for it, this is the least expensive route. The printer doesn’t come with the e13b MICR font, but you can add that on.

As with the previous LaserJet M601N, the M604N also doesn’t accept the high yield toner cartridge. So if you are printing more than 5,000 checks a month, buy the M605N as it will accept the 25,000 page CF281X high yield Micr toner cartridge. If you buy the M604N it only takes the 10,500 page CF281A standard yield MICR toner cartridge. By spending a few extra dollars up front, you not only get a faster printer (8ppm faster), you will quickly pay for the increased investment by saving .78 cents per page. It doesn’t sound like much but when you are talking about 25,000 pages per cartridge vs. 10,500 pages, those pennies stack up quickly.

Example: 5 CF281A cartridges at 10,500 per cartridge will print 52,500 pages for $1,345. Or you could buy two CF281X MICR Toner at 25,000 per cartridge for $892. So after just two high yield cartridges you would have saved $453 in toner savings. The M605N only costs an additional $255 over the M604N. After your second High Yield MICR Cartridge you’ve covered your initial investment and saved an additional $198. This is a no-brainer. While we recommend the M605N, it is hard to justify the M606 series. These printers add still more speed (4ppm) and some bells and whistles, but the additional $580 (M605DN to the M606DN) doesn’t seem worth it. Still if you want the best, the M606X is the printer for you.

HP LaserJet M604N MICR Laser Printer – 50ppm from $870

HP LaserJet M605N, M605DN, M605X – 58ppm from $1,125

HP LaserJet M606DN, M606X – 62ppm from $1,895
