The HP 216X high-yield cartridges nearly double what the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw ships with

The M255dw takes four separate HP 216A cartridges — one per color — with black standard yield at roughly 2,300 pages and each color around 2,300 too. The real play here is stepping up to the 216X high-yield series: black jumps to about 4,500 pages, the colors hit 4,000. That nearly doubles your black runtime for a reasonable premium, which is where the cost-per-page math starts to favor the XL cartridges fast.
