MICR toner is only needed for checks and other documents with a magnetic MICR line. For everyday printing, the standard cartridge costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the HP 17A MICR print?
About 1,600 pages at 5% coverage.

What is MICR toner?
MICR (magnetic ink character recognition) toner contains iron oxide. Banks' check-sorting machines read the magnetic characters at the bottom of a check, so checks printed in-house need MICR toner.

Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a printer maker can't void your warranty just because you used a compatible toner cartridge. More: Does compatible ink void your printer warranty?.

Will my printer show a message when I install it?
Some printers display a notice that a non-original or previously used toner cartridge is installed. Select OK or Continue and print as usual. If it isn't recognized, remove it, make sure all protective tape is off, wipe the contacts and reinstall it. See Printer says ink cartridge not recognized: how to fix it, or contact us and we'll make it right.

When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY. Shipping is free on orders over $50.
