Is it compatible with your printer?

The HP 655 (CF450A) is the black toner fitted by the whole Color LaserJet Enterprise 600 range with 655-series consumables. It covers both the desktop printers (M652/M653) and the MFP multifunction machines (M681/M682). If you have any of these 9 models, this is your black cartridge:

• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M652n
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M652dn
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M653dn
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M653dh
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M653x
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M681dh
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M681f
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M681z
• HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M682z

The letters of the model indicate the equipment of each machine, but they don't change the consumable: the n adds a network (Ethernet), the dn adds automatic double-sided printing (duplex), the dh and the x incorporate high-capacity paper trays, the f is multifunction (it prints, copies, scans and sends faxes), the z is the most complete version and the Flow variants add advanced scanning and document-flow functions. They all share the same 655 toner series, so the CF450A works for any of them. Not sure which machine you have? Use our printer-model finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The toner you need is the compatible black HP 655 CF450A toner. It's a laser toner cartridge (powder, not ink) with a life of 12,500 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, the international standard that measures the yield of monochrome toners with a fixed print pattern. That figure lets you compare like with like against any other cartridge on the market.

It includes a built-in chip, so your printer recognises it without warnings and shows the toner levels normally. It's the black toner reference for this whole family of machines; for colour printing you'll also need the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges of the same series. You can see the whole brand catalogue in the compatible HP toner collection. If you want to understand how to identify the correct reference for your machine, we explain it step by step in this guide to knowing which toner your printer needs.

How much printing costs you

The key is in the cost per page. Our compatible toner offers the same 12,500-page yield as the original HP cartridge, but for a fraction of its price. On intensive-use machines like the Enterprise M652/M653/M681/M682 range, that difference multiplies with every cartridge you use per year and translates into a very notable saving without giving up quality.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CF450A compatible with all these Enterprise models?

Yes. The compatible black HP 655 (CF450A) toner works in the 9 models on the list: M652n, M652dn, M653dn, M653dh, M653x, MFP M681dh, MFP M681f, Flow MFP M681z and Flow MFP M682z. They all use the same consumables series, so it doesn't matter whether your machine is a desktop or a multifunction.

How many pages does this toner print?

It yields 12,500 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard for monochrome toner. The real yield depends on the ink coverage of your documents: text and invoices use less, while graphics and dense areas consume more.

Does using a compatible toner void my printer's warranty?

No. According to article 120 of RDL 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users), using compatible consumables does not void your machine's warranty. The manufacturer could only refuse a repair if it proved the consumable directly caused the damage, something that doesn't happen with a quality toner. You can read our warranty policy for more detail.
