W2022X is the high yield yellow for the Color LaserJet Pro M454dw and the MFP M479fdw, rated at 6000 pages against 2100 on the standard W2022A, at 3.33c a page rather than 4.52c.
Six thousand pages of yellow suits one kind of workload: photography, product sheets, anything printed edge to edge in colour. An office printing documents with a coloured header will not get through it, and the $105.00 premium over the standard cartridge buys nothing but shelf life in that case. Check the printer's supply status page after a few months of real use and buy the size that matches what the machine is actually consuming.
Where the larger cartridge does earn its keep, it earns it twice: a lower page cost and far fewer cartridge changes, and every change avoided is one less chance to leave a seal in place or half seat a cartridge in a machine that four people share.
The M454 and M479 series carry HP's dynamic security notice, so compatible toner with a non HP chip can stop working after an update the printer fetches on its own. If you are running third party yellow, turn automatic updates off first, and expect level reporting to be the least reliable thing about it. Judge by the printed page: yellow that has started to look thin in solid blocks is nearly out, whatever the gauge says.
