Which cartridge fits the HP M426?
| Cartridge | Yield | Price | Shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP 26A (CF226A) standard yield | OEM rated approx. 3,100 pages (ISO/IEC 19752) | $93.40 | 26A toner |
| HP 26X (CF226X) high yield | catalog lists a yield of 9,000 pages | $118.99 | 26X toner |
Choose 26A for lighter printing. Choose 26X if this printer runs often — you change it less often, and the cost per page is usually lower. Both are listed for the same HP M426 and M402 printers.
Printing checks on the HP M426?
The same HP printers can print payroll and vendor checks if you swap in MICR toner. Banks need magnetic toner to read the numbers at the bottom of the check. Regular toner will not pass. See our MICR guide for CPA and payroll offices or the MICR printer finder.

Frequently asked questions
Which toner fits the HP M426?
The HP M426fdn and M426fdw take HP 26A (CF226A) standard yield or HP 26X (CF226X) high yield toner. Match the number on your empty cartridge to the product title.
Should I buy standard or high yield?
26X is the high-yield cartridge, listed in our catalog at 9,000 pages. 26A is the standard-yield option, OEM rated at about 3,100 pages (ISO/IEC 19752). If you print often, 26X usually means fewer changes.
Can this printer print checks?
Yes. Swap in the matching MICR cartridge linked above. Banks need magnetic (MICR) toner to read the routing and account line. Regular toner is enough only if that line is already printed on the check stock.
Do you offer local pickup?
No. Every order is drop shipped, and we ship nationwide with free ground shipping.
Will remanufactured toner void my HP warranty?
No. Using a third-party cartridge does not void the printer warranty by itself. If a non-HP cartridge caused a specific failure, that repair may not be covered. The rest of the printer warranty still applies.
Should I leave MICR toner in for everyday printing?
No. Use regular toner for everyday pages. Swap in the matching MICR cartridge for check runs, or keep a second printer just for checks. MICR costs more, so you do not want it on regular office pages.
Is this an OEM HP cartridge?
No. These are North American remanufactured cartridges that replace the OEM cartridge number in the product title. Every cartridge is 100% post-tested and priced at up to 40% less than OEM.
What is the difference between the MICR toner you link and the MICR Print Solutions cartridge?
Both are MICR toner for the same printers. The product we link on the printer page is the North American remanufactured option and is the one we lead with on price. MICR Print Solutions is a higher-priced twin for the same cartridge number. Pick one. You do not need both.
What does 100% post-tested mean?
Every remanufactured cartridge is tested after it is built, before it ships. That is a function test of the finished cartridge, not a promise about how any one printer or bank reader will behave.
Does the same toner fit the M402?
Yes. The same 26A and 26X cartridges are listed for the HP M402d, M402dn, M402dw, and M402n. See the M402 toner page for that box.
