Clover Imaging Group CIG200894P MICR toner cartridge 3100 pages HP 26A CF226A

MICR toner for HP 26A printers

This Clover Imaging Group cartridge delivers magnetic ink character recognition output for HP LaserJet Pro M402 and M426 series devices. It is built for businesses that print cheques or other documents requiring bank-readable encoding. The black toner yields approximately 3100 pages at standard coverage. It replaces the OEM CF226A supply.

Yield and compatibility limits

The 3100-page figure follows industry standard test methods at five percent coverage; actual output varies with page density and print settings. Magnetic toner formulation is calibrated for the specific engine chemistry of the listed models; using it in non-MICR printers wastes the premium formulation. No other printer families are supported by this cartridge.

Drop-in replacement with MICR caveats

Installation matches the standard CF226A procedure: open the front door, remove the old unit, shake the new cartridge gently, then slide it in until it locks. The most common issue is forgetting to enable MICR mode in the printer driver or banking software, which produces readable text but fails bank clearing. Firmware updates on the host printer occasionally reject aftermarket chips, requiring a cold restart.
