INKCLOUD 117A Toner Cartridges Compatible with HP 117A (4-Pack: Black, Cyan, Yellow, Magenta)

If you’re running a HP colour laser office machine and want replacements without paying original-cart costs, this INKCLOUD 117A toner set is built for that exact job. It’s a compatible (with chip) 4-pack covering black plus cyan, yellow and magenta, so you can keep printing in full colour rather than mixing cartridges across brands.

That said, compatibility is one of those things that can be smooth… or a bit of a gamble depending on how your printer behaves with chips and cartridge IDs. This one is positioned as “with chip, not original”, so it’s worth double-checking the printer model list in the listing before you press buy.

The essentials

This 4-pack includes compatible HP 117A toners: black, cyan, yellow and magenta. The product is described as specifically compatible with a range of HP colour Laser MFP models (including 178nwg, 178nw, 179fwg, 179fnw, 178 and 179) and also the colour laser 150a/150nw models.

In day-to-day terms, you’re looking at a set that aims to deliver consistent colour output for documents, reports and office graphics—while keeping costs predictable if you print a moderate mix of text and colour.

Yield is stated as 1,000 pages for the 117A black toner and 700 pages for each colour toner at 5% coverage on A4. The listing also notes the yield varies depending on print images, settings and temperatures, so treat those page figures as guidance, not a promise for every job.

What stands out in use

A compatible toner set should do two things reliably: print cleanly without fuss, and produce colours that look right for the kind of documents you actually make.

Here, the emphasis is on vibrant colours and smooth printing quality “on running”, with each toner described as fully tested before shipping to meet quality standards. Again, it’s not the same as seeing your own files come out from your own printer, but it does suggest a more controlled approach than random no-name cartridges.

A practical example: if you print monthly client reports with mostly text and a few colour charts, having all four colours in the same compatible range can help avoid mismatched output across different cartridge lots. It also reduces the chance you end up swapping individual colours in different orders when one colour runs low.

What to check before buying

Because this is compatible with a chip (and not original), the safest move is to confirm your printer model is on the stated compatibility list. The listing names compatible printers such as:

• HP Colour Laser MFP models including 178nwg, 178nw, 179fwg, 179fnw, 178 and 179
• HP colour laser models including 150a and 150nw

If your printer model isn’t one of those, you may want to look for a set that explicitly matches your machine. When compatibility is off—even by a small cartridge ID detail—printers can refuse to recognise the cartridge or show warnings.

Also worth bearing in mind: stated page yield is based on 5% A4 coverage, so if your printing is heavier (dense graphics, lots of colour, photos), you’ll likely get fewer pages than the headline figures.

How it fits different printing habits

It makes sense if you:

It makes sense if you run an HP colour laser office printer and you want a full 4-pack so you can keep colour printing without immediately replacing just one cartridge at a time.

You’ll like it if you print a mix of text-heavy documents and occasional colour elements, where you’ll benefit from having matched black/cyan/yellow/magenta in the same “117A” style.

It’s a more budget-minded choice if you’re trying to manage running costs while keeping quality “on running” as described.

Where it may fall short

Not the best choice if you need guaranteed behaviour identical to original cartridges—this is compatible (with chip), and performance can still depend on your printer’s handling.

Also, if you print very colour-dense pages day after day, the quoted yields may feel optimistic. The listing is clear that yield varies with images, settings and temperatures, so you may go through cartridges sooner than the headline numbers.

Should you buy it?

Worth considering if you’ve got one of the listed HP colour laser/MFP models, and you want a compatible 117A 4-pack (black + CMYK colours) that’s aimed at vibrant colour and smooth output—at the kind of value-for-money approach most people want for office use.

Better avoided if your printer model isn’t covered in the compatibility statement, or if you’re the sort of user who can’t tolerate any mismatch warnings or differences in output behaviour. In those cases, it’s often smarter to choose a cartridge option that is specified to match your exact printer more tightly.
