HP LaserJet 4250tnsl toner
Your LaserJet 4250tnsl takes the 38A (standard yield). At our price that is about 0.4¢ a page.
The HP LaserJet 4250tnsl is a mono laser printer in the LaserJet 4250 series, which shares cartridges across 6 models.
The cartridge it takes is the 38A, rated by HP at about 12,000 pages, which works out to roughly 0.4¢ a page at our price of $49.99.
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.
