HP 28A (CF228A) toner for the LaserJet Pro M403 and M427
HP 28A, also sold as CF228A, is the black toner made for the HP LaserJet Pro M403 and MFP M427 — the mono printers you find in busy offices. This compatible version prints the same crisp black text as the original, page after page, for a lot less money. If your M403 or M427 is flashing low toner, this cartridge gets it running again.

Printers compatible with HP 28A toner
HP 28A toner fits the HP LaserJet Pro M403 series (M403d, M403dn, M403n) and the MFP M427 series (M427dw, M427fdn, M427fdw). These are single-function and all-in-one office printers built for high daily volume. If your model number starts with M403 or M427, this is the right cartridge — and if you're unsure, send us the model and we'll confirm.

HP 28A with the smart chip already installed
Every HP 28A cartridge comes with the smart chip your M403 or M427 needs to recognise it and track the toner level. There's nothing to move over or reset — take it out of the box and slide it in. It works straight away.

HP 28A vs 28X — which should you buy?
It comes down to how much you print. The HP 28A prints about 3,000 pages and suits light to normal office use. The HP 28X (CF228X) is the high-yield version — it prints about 9,000 pages, so the cost per page is lower if you print a lot. Both fit the same M403 and M427 printers. For most offices the 28A is the easy choice; heavy-volume teams save more with the 28X.

HP 28A toner price — how much you save
At AED 62, this compatible HP 28A costs far less than the original, with the same 3,000-page yield and the same sharp print. For an office that changes toner often, that saving adds up fast across a year — with no drop in quality.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use a toner cartridge?

Using a toner cartridge is easier than most people think.

First, turn off your printer and open the front cover. Take out the old toner cartridge slowly. You will usually see the toner number written on it. This helps you confirm you are using the correct replacement.

Next, take the new toner cartridge out of the box. Gently shake it from side to side a few times. This helps spread the toner powder evenly inside so your prints come out clean.

Remove any protective tape or cover from the cartridge. This step is important. If you forget it, the printer will not print.

Now slide the toner cartridge into the printer until it clicks into place. Close the printer cover and turn the printer back on.

That’s it. Your printer is ready to print.

If the printer shows a message at first, don’t panic. Many printers need a few seconds to recognize the new toner. Once it’s detected, printing starts normally.

If you’re not sure which toner fits your printer, this guide explains it step by step without confusion:

How to find the right toner cartridge for your printer

What should I do if my printer does not detect the toner?

First, stay calm. This is very common.

Remove the toner, insert it again firmly, and restart the printer. In most cases, the printer detects it right away.

If a message still appears, it usually means the toner needs to sit properly inside the printer. It does not mean your printer is broken, and it does not mean the toner is bad.

This happens with original and compatible toners alike.

Will a compatible toner cartridge damage my printer?

No, it will not.

A good compatible toner cartridge does not damage your printer. It is designed to fit correctly, communicate properly with the printer chip, and print smoothly. Millions of people use compatible toners every day at home and at work without problems.

Your printer is built to protect itself. If a toner does not fit or work, it simply will not run. That’s why a tested compatible toner is safe to use.

Is this a compatible toner cartridge or an original one?

This is a compatible toner cartridge.

Compatible means it is made to work the same way as the original, fit the same printer, and print the same number of pages — but at a much lower cost. Many people pay more for original toner because they are afraid of errors. A properly made compatible toner removes that fear.

Your printer only cares about one thing: does the toner fit and work properly? This one does.

What is a toner cartridge?

A toner cartridge is what your laser printer uses to print words and images on paper.

Unlike ink, toner is a dry powder.

That’s why laser printers print faster, cleaner, and last longer.

If you print: bills, reports, school work. office papers, etc.

You need a toner cartridge, not ink.
