Xpress C480
The Xpress C480 is the Xpress-badged fast color laser — the C480's engine with Xpress branding, and the identical CLT-404S toner set. Samsung's official datasheets cover the underlying SL-C480 platform that both badges share. Our compatible CLT-K404S/C404S/M404S/Y404S cartridges fit the Xpress C480 exactly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Xpress C480 need all four cartridges replaced at once?
No. The Xpress C480 is a color all-in-one with four independent toner slots — CLT-K404S black, CLT-C404S cyan, CLT-M404S magenta and CLT-Y404S yellow — each monitored separately. Black depletes fastest on documents; the color trio wears evenly on graphics and photos. Swap only the cartridge the printer flags as empty, and consider a full four-pack only when two or more colors are low simultaneously.
My Xpress C480 prints look dull and faded. Where do I start troubleshooting?
Start in the driver: if toner-save or eco mode is on, the Xpress C480 will print washed-out pages indefinitely. With normal density restored, remove the faded color cartridge, rock it gently side to side to redistribute toner, and reseat it. Dullness in one color implicates that CLT-404S cartridge; dullness in all four at once points past the cartridges to the transfer belt or imaging components.
What driver settings stretch toner life the most on the Xpress C480?
Set the default to black-and-white with toner-save enabled for routine printing on the Xpress C480, so everyday pages draw only on the CLT-K404S at reduced density. Use full-quality color only for final documents. Also try the multiple-pages-per-sheet option for reference prints. When the printer reports a cartridge low, shake it gently side to side — the Xpress C480 typically flags low while usable toner remains.
