HP 218 Cartridge Numbers (OEM Codes): W2180A to W2183X

HP 218 toner has eight cartridge numbers: W2180A–W2183A for the standard-yield 218A and W2180X–W2183X for the high-yield 218X, where the fourth digit is the color (0 black, 1 cyan, 2 yellow, 3 magenta). Each links to its own price comparison.

How to read an HP 218 code

A code such as W2181X consists of W218 (the 218 series), the fifth character for the color (0 = black, 1 = cyan, 2 = yellow, 3 = magenta) and the letter for the capacity (A = standard yield, X = high yield). W2181X is therefore 218X cyan. The box usually shows both "218X" and the W-code. Retailers add their own item numbers (Staples item, Best Buy SKU, Walmart item) — the W218… code is the one to match.
