Different model suffixes, regional cartridges, chips, firmware or subscription arrangements may require a further check. If your model is not listed, ask us to identify your toner.
Compare replacement yields rather than introductory colour toner
The replacement 201A colour benchmark is 1,400 pages; the introductory colour cartridges supplied with some printers have a lower benchmark. Include A or X and each colour when asking for replacements.
Black uses CF400, cyan CF401, magenta CF403 and yellow CF402. Send the full model and any recognition warning so we can check suitable compatible cartridges first, or quote originals.
Replacing toner or another supply?
Send the exact warning or a description of the print defect. A toner enquiry alone does not establish which component is causing marks, streaks or fading.
Help with toner and drum identification ↗What to include for a clear quote.
- Full printer model and cartridge reference, if known.
- Colour and quantity, including individual replacements or a complete set.
- Delivery postcode, deadline and any recognition or firmware message.
We check suitable compatible options first and confirm the product, current price and delivery before you agree an order. Original toner is available if your organisation specifies it.
