G&G Launches Compatible Toner for HP’s Redesigned LaserJet Pro 4006/4007 Platform

G&G Launches Compatible Toner for HP’s Redesigned LaserJet Pro 4006/4007 Platform

The New HP LaserJet Pro 4000/4100 Series

In April 2026, HP rolled out its next-generation LaserJet Pro 4000/4100 series: the LaserJet Pro 4006 and MFP 4112 in North America and Canada, and the LaserJet Pro 4007 and MFP 4113 in Europe, aimed at small and mid-sized businesses that often don’t have a dedicated IT team managing their fleet.

The series includes single-function (4006/4007) and multifunction (4112/4113) models, supports Wi-Fi 6, and comes with a three-year warranty.

The cartridges are region-specific: W1610A/X (161A/161X) for North America and Canada, and W1620A/X (162A/162X) for Europe. Although the printers share the same platform, the cartridges are not interchangeable.

How We Got Here: Three Generations of Cartridge Design

Compatible toner development doesn’t start from zero with each launch. It builds on what came before. Tracing the lineage for this printer family:

Region-specific cartridge numbering isn’t new to this generation. What is new this time is what’s inside the cartridge.

What Actually Changed Inside the Cartridge

The development method changed: The new W1610/W1620 cartridges replace the previous magnetic roller (MR) development system with a development roller (DR) system using non-magnetic toner, a shift HP has used elsewhere in its lineup but hasn’t previously brought to this monochrome product line. This changes toner behavior during charging, transfer, and fusing.

The cartridge itself is smaller: Independent lifecycle analysis of HP’s TerraJet cartridge line found that the 4000-series cartridge carries roughly 25% less material per unit than its predecessor, leaving less room for variation in toner delivery and sealing.

The toner formula is more efficient, and less forgiving: HP states the new TerraJet formulation delivers about 11% more pages using less toner, part of a broader 25% reduction in ongoing print costs compared to the prior generation.

Why This Matters for Compatible Toner

Put those three changes together:

• A new development mechanism (DR instead of MR)
• A smaller cartridge with tighter tolerances
• A denser, more efficient toner formula.

These changes mean that a supplier can’t simply resize an existing MR-based formula into a smaller shell and call it compatible. This is a large part of why compatible cartridges for the W1610/W1620 series have been slower to reach the market than for previous HP printer generations.

What to Look for in a Compatible Cartridge for This Generation

Given the above, a few things are worth checking before choosing a supplier for W1610/W1620 compatible toner:

• Declared yield tested to ISO/IEC 19752
• Toner formulated specifically for non-magnetic DR systems
• Manufacturing under ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 certification

G&G’s Compatible Patented Toner for HP W1610A/X and W1620A/X

G&G has developed compatible cartridges built specifically for the W1610/W1620 platform.

• Custom-formulated toner engineered for high transfer rate, strong fusing, rich density, and sharp, clean text output
• Proprietary structural design built to match the smaller cartridge footprint
• 100% rated page yield, tested against ISO/IEC 19752

For buyers evaluating compatible toner for this printer generation, one key consideration is whether the cartridge has been redesigned for the new platform rather than adapted from an earlier generation.
