W2113X is the high yield magenta for the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw and the MFP M283fdw: 2450 rated pages at about $125.00, which is 5.10c a page against 6.00c on the standard W2113A.
Work out the whole set before buying into the high yield range. Four X cartridges for this printer come to around $505.00 together, against $300.00 for four standard ones. The four colour page cost moves from about 23.56c to 19.43c, roughly 18 percent, and most of that gain comes from the black cartridge rather than from the three colours. Running an X black with standard colours captures the bulk of the saving for a fraction of the outlay, and the printer is entirely happy with a mixed set.
There is a practical argument for the larger magenta all the same. Colour cartridges on this printer are changed rarely enough that the job is easy to get wrong, and each swap is an opportunity to leave a shipping seal in place or half seat a cartridge. Fewer changes means fewer of those.
HP's data sheet for the M255dw carries the dynamic security notice, so a compatible W2113X is exposed to a firmware update refusing it later. Buying one cartridge at a time rather than a full set is the cheap insurance against that, along with setting firmware updates to do not check before the first compatible goes in.
