Frequently Asked Questions

Which magenta cartridge keeps our in-house marketing prints on-brand?

The CE413A. Brand reds are unforgiving: a flyer whose red has drifted orange looks like a different company printed it. The magenta cartridge is half of that red, and keeping it healthy is the difference between marketing material that matches the brand sheet and material that almost does.

What is the cartridge code for the M451's magenta slot?

CE413A — the number is shared across the whole M451 range and printed on the cartridge label. Anyone in the business can verify it in seconds by sliding out the M unit, which removes the folklore and guesswork from reordering.

How does the yield hold up for artwork-heavy printing?

The rating is 2,600 pages at 5 percent coverage. A flyer side with a red masthead, a photograph and colored panels can run five to ten times that coverage, so plan in the hundreds of finished pieces rather than the thousands — and at $34.02, the cost per campaign stays comfortably small.

Can we check the level before committing to a run?

Yes — print a supplies status page, or open the printer's interface from a computer. The discipline that saves money is simple: no long color run starts on an unread gauge, because a magenta that dies at sheet sixty of a hundred wastes the sixty.

Will a fresh cartridge match the color of the pieces we printed last month?

With one calibration pass after fitting, yes — that routine exists to bring a new cartridge into agreement with the printer's color tables. Print a single proof sheet of a familiar piece and compare it against a kept sample; that habit turns color consistency from a hope into a check.

What if we are still not happy with the reds?

Talk to our support team, Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST — and the cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns if the fault turns out to be in the unit.

About This CE413A for the M451

This listing offers the CE413A magenta cartridge for the M451 — part of the same HP color generation as the LaserJet Pro 300 Color MFP M375nw and its relations. As the single magenta of the 305A family it is rated at 2,600 pages and costs $34.02 alone: the refill for the slot that decides whether a small business's printed reds look like its brand or like an approximation of it.

We deliver from IL, PA, GA or CA, from whichever warehouse is closest. The details on delivery and returns are on the shipping & returns page, and everything else stocked for this family is in the HP section.
