C430
The C430 is Konica Minolta's Samsung-engine color laser for the small office — compact, quick, and running the CLT-404S toner family (CLT-K404S black, C404S cyan, M404S magenta, Y404S yellow). Samsung's official C480-series datasheets and HP's CLT-404S datasheets anchor this family, so cartridge choice is certain. Our compatible CLT-404S cartridges bring four-color printing down to a sensible per-page cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
The C430 uses CLT-404S cartridges - what does the S mean?
The S marks these as standard-yield cartridges. They cost less upfront than high-yield alternatives, which suits the C430's role as a compact personal or small-office color printer - just expect more frequent changes if you print in volume.
Can the C430 print if one CLT-404S color runs out?
Like most color lasers, the C430 needs all four cartridges - CLT-K404S, CLT-C404S, CLT-M404S and CLT-Y404S - installed and recognized to print. An empty color blocks printing until replaced, so keep a spare of whichever color you use most.
My C430's black text looks gray - is the CLT-K404S empty?
Possibly, but check the driver first: draft or eco modes deliberately print lighter to save toner. If the mode is normal and text is still gray, the black cartridge is likely low - replace the CLT-K404S.
