HP 117A Black Original Laser Toner Cartridge W2070A for HP Color Laser 150 & MFP 178/179

HP lists the 117A family for HP Color Laser 150 and Color Laser MFP 170 series devices. Common compatible models include:

• HP Color Laser 150a

• HP Color Laser 150nw

• HP Color Laser MFP 178nw

• HP Color Laser MFP 178nwg

• HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw

• HP Color Laser MFP 179fwg

Always match the cartridge to the exact device name shown on the printer or in the HP supplies guide. Series labels alone are not enough when a site runs mixed colour HP Laser models.

• W2070A - primary HP product / part number (Black)

• 117A - HP selectability / marketing designation

• HP 117A Black Original Laser Toner Cartridge - full product description name

The HP 117A colour set also includes cyan (W2071A), yellow (W2072A) and magenta (W2073A). Keep W2070A on the purchase order so receiving staff verify the black box label, not a colour cartridge from the same series.

W2070A identifies this standard-capacity black laser toner for the compact HP Color Laser 150 / MFP 170 class devices sold in the Middle East and related regions. Do not confuse W2070A with HP 106A / W1106A mono-only cartridges or with other colour HP series such as 415A used on larger Color LaserJet Pro models.

The cartridge feeds black toner into the imaging process so text and mono graphics print cleanly onto paper, and so black density is correct in full-colour jobs when combined with cyan, yellow and magenta. Original HP toner is made for these compact colour engines, which helps keep sharp body text on contracts and readable labels when the printer is maintained correctly.

Print quality still depends on paper, humidity, drum or imaging condition, fuser health and density settings. A new black cartridge will not fix a worn imaging unit or paper-path fault.

These issues sometimes point to an empty or failing black cartridge, but similar faults can come from other parts:

• Faded or light text across the page

• Grey or washed-out black in logos and body copy

• Black low / replace cartridge messages

• Streaks or banding in black areas of the page

• Uneven density after heavy monthly volume

Imaging wear, paper moisture, transfer problems and incorrect print settings can look the same. If a new W2070A does not restore black quality, ask SOS to check the printer rather than swapping cartridges repeatedly.

HP publishes an approximate black yield of about 1,000 pages for HP 117A / W2070A based on ISO/IEC 19798. That figure is a laboratory average for standard test pages. Real offices printing logos, tables or duplex jobs will often see a different count. Treat 1,000 pages as a planning guide, not a guaranteed sheet count for every device.

This listing is for an Original HP black cartridge. It is not a Superior compatible toner and not a remanufactured unit. If your policy allows compatible cartridges for other HP models, ask SOS separately. For Color Laser 150 / MFP 178 / 179 devices that require W2070A, order the genuine HP 117A Black when original supply is specified.

Follow the HP unpacking steps: remove seals, avoid shaking toner outside the printer, and seat the black cartridge until it locks in the correct colour slot. Store spares cool and dry. If the printer was dusty, clean accessible paper paths before fitting a new cartridge.
