6,000 pages
Your Enterprise 500 MFP M525c takes the 55A MICR (standard yield), 55X Jumbo (super yield) and 55X MICR (high yield). At our price that is about 0.5¢ a page.
The HP Enterprise 500 MFP M525c is a mono laser printer in the Enterprise 500 MFP M525 series, which shares cartridges across 1 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 55A MICR at about 6,000 pages and the 55X MICR at about 12,500. At our prices that is 1.7¢ a page against 0.9¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
On this printer the drum is built into the cartridge, so there is no separate drum to buy or reset. Every new cartridge brings a fresh drum with it.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.
