Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make sure CE411A is the cartridge my printer wants?

Pull out the cartridge that sits in the slot marked C and read its label. If it reads CE411A, this is the same cyan cartridge from HP's 305A family — the part number, not the printer's marketing name, is the reliable way to match a replacement.

What work does the cyan cartridge actually do in a color print?

Cyan carries the blue half of the color range: skies, water, teals and the corporate blues that show up in so many logos and report charts. Paired with yellow it builds the greens, and every photograph leans on it for cool tones, which is why a tired cyan cartridge shows up first as dull, lifeless blues.

How many pages should I expect from one cartridge?

The CE411A is rated at 2,600 pages, measured at the standard 5 percent page coverage. That rating assumes text documents with modest graphics; full-page photos and dense presentation slides cover far more of each sheet, so a graphics-heavy office will see fewer pages from the same $34.02 cartridge.

My blues have started looking purple. Is cyan the problem?

Very likely. When cyan runs low, the balance tips toward magenta and blues drift purple while greens lose their depth. Print the supplies status page from the printer's menu — it shows the remaining level for the cyan slot on its own, so you can confirm before you order.

What should I do before sliding the new cartridge in?

Take it out of the box, rock it gently side to side a few times to loosen the toner, then pull the sealing tape straight out in one motion. Slide it into the C slot until it seats firmly, and keep the old cartridge aside in the new one's packaging until you know the first prints look right.

Can I change the cyan on its own, or do all four cartridges move together?

On its own is fine. Each 305A cartridge lives in its own slot with its own level, and the printer does not ask you to refresh the row as a set. Swap the cyan when the cyan is done and leave the others to finish their own lives.

About This CE411A Cyan Cartridge

This is the single cyan cartridge of the 305A family, built for HP's Pro 300 and Pro 400 color generation — printers in the class of the LaserJet Pro 300 Color MFP M375nw. It is a full standard-capacity unit rated at 2,600 pages, priced at $34.02 on its own so you can replace exactly the color that ran out and nothing else.

Every order is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. Stock ships from the warehouse closest to you among our IL, PA, GA and CA locations, and support answers Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST if anything about the fit or the first prints looks off. The full terms sit on the shipping & returns page, and the wider range for these printers lives under HP.

Every cartridge in the box is also sold on its own: the 305A black (CE410A) single, the 305A yellow (CE412A) single, the 305A magenta (CE413A) single and the 305A four-color set. The printers covered are LaserJet Pro 300 Color MFP M375nw, LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451dn, LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451dw and LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dn, and the 305A cyan (CE411A) cartridge drops into each of them the same way.
