It's 0, HP doesn't use iron oxide for ages now, the toner for newer printers are mostly polymer for the last 15 years.

Only old printer models from the 1990 and early 2000 use iron-oxide in toner and it's around 50%

The cartridge model for the 85A  is CE285A.... I believe the manufacture has a content level of iron oxide available.  What is it?  The printer is an HP laser jet P1102W.  I know it's old.  Is there another printer that will take a toner with an iron oxide lever above 35%?

Iron oxide was replaced with ferrite sometime in the early 2000s.  Only older printer models use iron oxide in toner around 50%.

HP 85 toner uses ferrite, it doesn't contain any amount of iron oxide.

thanks.... I know the 85A is newer than 2000 and the safety sheet says its ferrite which is an iron compound.  It must be enough  as it is working at temps of above 1400 and turns the decal to sepia on glass and stays black when heated in the oven at 350 degrees.   Thank you for you input.  I can rest easier now that I know the levels in the ferrite work!
