Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges make up this three-color set?

Three color cartridges and nothing else: CF211A cyan, CF212A yellow and CF213A magenta — the complete color side of the HP 131A family. There is deliberately no black cartridge in this box; the black slot is served by the family’s black cartridge, ordered separately, which is exactly why this set exists for owners whose black is still healthy.

Why replace all three colors at the same time?

The three colors are usually installed together and age together, so by the time one is fading the other two are rarely far behind. Replacing the trio in one session restores the color balance in a single pass — no week of prints leaning green because the magenta gave out first, followed by another leaning red when the cyan follows.

How many pages does each color cartridge print?

Each of the three — CF211A, CF212A and CF213A — is rated at about 1,800 pages under standard test conditions. Real life varies with coverage: a page of charts with color backgrounds spends far more toner than a memo with a small color logo, so treat 1,800 as a comparison figure rather than a promise.

My prints have started looking wrong. Could tired colors be the cause?

Very often, yes. When one color runs low the whole balance shifts: weak magenta makes reds look orange and skin tones sallow, weak cyan washes out skies and turns greens yellowish, and weak yellow cools every warm tone. If the black text still prints crisply while colors drift, the color trio — not the printer — is the place to look.

How do I know which of my printers this set belongs to?

Match the part numbers, not the marketing name on the front panel. If your machine takes CF211A, CF212A and CF213A cartridges, this is its color set — that covers the LaserJet Pro 200 M251 printer line and the M276 multifunction line. The codes are printed on the cartridges already in your machine and on its supply-status page.

What protection do I get if a cartridge disappoints?

The set is backed by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns. We ship from IL, PA, GA and CA, so most orders arrive quickly, and our support team answers Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST. See the shipping and returns page for the full policy before you order.

About This 131A Three-Color Set

Think of this as the color half of a full toner refresh for machines in the LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw family and their M276 relatives. The black cartridge lives its own separate life in these printers — often a longer one, since it is replaced on its own schedule — so a colors-only set at $59.10 lets you spend money only on the three cartridges that actually need changing.

Installing CF211A, CF212A and CF213A together also resets the diagnostic picture: with three fresh colors in place, any remaining color fault points at the printer rather than at a tired cartridge, which makes troubleshooting far simpler.
