Frequently Asked Questions

Which cyan cartridge does the M455dn take?

The Color Enterprise M455dn uses the W2021A for its cyan slot — part of the 414A family the printer reports on its own supplies status page.

How long will this cartridge last in a busy department?

It is rated at 2,100 pages. On a fleet printer with steady color volume, watch the level the printer reports rather than the calendar: coverage per page, not days in the slot, is what consumes cyan.

Our administrator tracks supplies centrally — what code do they search for?

W2021A. That is the code the M455dn's embedded web server and fleet tools display for the cyan position, and it is the code printed on this box, so purchase orders and printer reports line up without translation.

Blues on our reports look washed out while the level still shows 20% — change it now?

The last stretch of a cartridge can fade before it formally empties, especially on large color areas. If the washed-out pages matter, replace the cyan now; the reported percentage is an estimate, not a guarantee of density.

What does this cartridge cost and what backs it?

$90.65, covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with delivery details on our shipping and returns page.

Where does it ship from, and who helps if there is a problem?

Orders leave our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA. Support runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST — tell us the color and the symptom, and we will walk it from there.

About This M455dn Cyan Cartridge

In a managed fleet, a cyan cartridge is a line item with a code, a rating and a printer waiting on it. This W2021A is the M455dn's cyan: 2,100 pages of the blue component that enterprise reports, charts and branded documents are built from, ordered by the same code the printer itself displays. From the compact desktop unit to the full multifunction machine, the platform — Color LaserJet Pro MFP M454dw, Color LaserJet Enterprise M455dn, Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f, and Color LaserJet Pro M479fdw — never changed its cartridge row.

The HP 414A family keeps the M455dn's supply shelf simple — four codes, one per slot, no equivalents to cross-check. When the console says the cyan is due, this is the box that answers it. Each of the other colors is stocked separately — 414A black cartridge (W2020A), 414A magenta cartridge (W2023A), and 414A yellow cartridge (W2022A) — and the 414A four-color set gathers all four. If this cartridge's page count feels short, step up to the high-yield 414X cyan cartridge (W2021X) — same fit, more pages.
