HP Color LaserJet PRO M451dw toner
Your Color LaserJet PRO M451dw takes the 305A (standard yield), 305A (standard yield), 305A (standard yield) and 305X (high yield). At our price that is about 0.7¢ a page.
The HP Color LaserJet PRO M451dw is a mono laser printer in the Color LaserJet PRO M451 series, which shares cartridges across 3 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 305A at about 2,600 pages and the 305X at about 4,000. At our prices that is 1.2¢ a page against 0.7¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
On this printer the drum is built into the cartridge, so there is no separate drum to buy or reset. Every new cartridge brings a fresh drum with it.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.
