What toner does the HP LaserJet Pro M404n need, plus 5 compatible models

Looking for toner for your HP LaserJet Pro M404 or MFP M428? The cartridge you need is the HP CF259A (59A). Our compatible version with premium chip yields 3,000 ISO pages with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of the price. See the compatible CF259A toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The CF259A (59A) is the toner fitted by both the single-function printers of the M404 series and the multifunction (MFP) machines of the M428 series. If you have any of these six models, this is your cartridge:

• HP LaserJet Pro M404n
• HP LaserJet Pro M404dn
• HP LaserJet Pro M404dw
• HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428dw
• HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdn
• HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw

The letters at the end only indicate the machine's features, not the consumable, which is the same in all of them. The n adds a wired network connection; the d, automatic double-sided printing (duplex); the w, Wi-Fi connectivity; the f of the M428 series, the fax and multifunction functions. Whatever your variant, the toner you need is exactly the same.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible HP CF259A (59A) toner from Startoner incorporates a premium chip so the printer recognises it without warnings and correctly displays the toner level. Its yield is 3,000 pages, measured under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the yield standard for monochrome toner), the same reference used to measure the original cartridge. That means you print the same number of pages, with the same reference ink coverage and the same sharpness in text and graphics.

It's an all-in-one laser toner: the powder and the drum are integrated in the cartridge itself, so when you replace it you also renew the image unit. You don't need to buy a separate drum for this family of printers.

How much printing costs you

The cost per page plummets without anything changing in the quality of your documents, because the measured yield is the same.

If you print regularly with your M404 or your M428, that saving per page multiplies over the year. Calculate how much you can save with your real volume in our savings calculator and check the current price directly on the CF259A page.

Frequently asked questions

Product information and compatibility

Yes. It's the same reference cartridge (CF259A / 59A) that these machines fit at the factory, with a premium chip so the printer detects it without problems and shows the toner level.

How many pages does the compatible CF259A toner print?

The real number can vary according to the coverage of each document, as with any toner. Where a product page states a page yield, check its declared test protocol: ISO/IEC 19752.
