Everyday™ Black Toner by Xerox compatible with HP 87A (CF287A), Standard capacity

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re trying to keep costs down on a like-for-like cartridge, this Xerox-compatible “HP 87A / CF287A” toner is the sort of option that makes sense. At £48.95 ex‑VAT, it’s priced like a budget replacement rather than a premium OEM spend, and that’s usually where the value is: steady, predictable printing for everyday business use (documents, reports, internal decks) without the “why did we just pay double?” feeling. I’d consider it if your print volume is consistent and you just want it to work first time—no drama, no colour-critical expectations.

That said, “compatible” toner is always a bit of a gamble versus OEM for things like long-term consistency, fuser wear expectations, and how smoothly it handles edge cases (low toner warnings, long idle periods, heavier coverage pages). If your workflows are colourless but reliability is mission-critical—court docs, invoices with strict quality tolerances, or you can’t afford reprints—then you might still prefer the OEM CF287A. For everyone else doing standard office printing, this is a sensible buy, especially if you’ve got a decent track record with other compatibles in your printer.
