Frequently Asked Questions

Is CF351A the cyan cartridge, or does that code cover more than one colour?

CF351A is one colour only: cyan. It is the cyan cartridge in HP's 130A family, offered here as a single cartridge for $151.71, and it fills only the cyan station inside the printer. The yellow and magenta stations use their own separate cartridges and are not part of what you receive.

Why have my colour prints started to look reddish and too warm?

That warm, reddish drift is the classic warning that cyan is fading. Cyan holds the warm colours in check, so as it runs low magenta and yellow take over the page. Whites take on a pink tint, faces look flushed, and a document that should read cool and neutral starts to look sunburnt instead. Replacing the CF351A restores the balance without touching the colours that are still healthy.

Why do printed skies and water look purple when cyan runs out?

Blue on paper is built from cyan plus magenta. Take most of the cyan away and the magenta is left working almost alone, so skies, lakes and blue company logos slide toward purple and violet. Green areas suffer too, because green needs cyan alongside yellow — short of cyan, they turn yellowish and muddy. If your blues have gone purple while your reds still look strong, cyan is the first station to suspect.

What does the 1,000-page rating mean for a colour like cyan?

This CF351A cartridge is rated at 1,000 pages under standard coverage testing. Cyan use varies more than most colours: a page of text with a small blue heading spends very little of it, while a full-page photo of the sea or a flyer with a solid blue-green background spends it quickly. Treat 1,000 pages as a measured benchmark for comparing cartridges, not as a promise for any one kind of job.

Can I swap only the cyan and keep using the other functions of the machine?

Yes. The colour stations are independent, so the cyan cartridge in your LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw can be changed on its own while the other cartridges stay in place. Scanning uses no toner at all, so scanning carries on regardless, and colour copying — which does draw on cyan — benefits as soon as the new cartridge is in.

What cover comes with this cyan cartridge if something goes wrong?

It is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a cartridge that fails within its first year can be sent back at no cost to you. If you are unsure whether a colour problem is really the cyan cartridge, the support team is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST to help you narrow it down before you order.

About This CF351A Cyan Cartridge — Restoring the Cool Half of the Page

Most owners order this cartridge after a specific moment: a photo, a chart or a logo that looked right last month suddenly prints warm and reddish. That is the job of the CF351A — putting the cool half of the colour range back, from true blues and clean greens to neutral greys that no longer lean pink. At $151.71 for a single 1,000-page cyan cartridge in the 130A family, it is a targeted fix for one faded station, not a reason to disturb colours that are still printing well.

Orders leave from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and the practical details on delivery and sending items back are collected on the shipping & returns page. The remaining colours for this printer family, along with the separate black cartridge, can be browsed in the store's HP range.
