What toner does the Samsung Xpress C430 need, plus 5 compatible models

Looking for toner for your Samsung Xpress C430 or C480? The consumable you need is the Samsung CLT-404S, and in its compatible Startoner version it yields 1,500 ISO pages with the same print quality as the original, for a fraction of its price. See the compatible CLT-404S toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The Samsung Xpress C430 and C480 series fits the same consumable: the CLT-404S. Whatever letter your model carries at the end (W, FN, FW…): all these machines use this toner. If you have any of these printers, it's your cartridge:

• Samsung Xpress C430
• Samsung Xpress C430W
• Samsung Xpress C480
• Samsung Xpress C480FN
• Samsung Xpress C480FW
• Samsung Xpress C480W

What do those initials mean? They only change the connectivity and functions of the machine, never the toner:

• W: wireless WiFi connection.
• N: wired network connection (Ethernet).
• F: multifunction machine with fax (prints, scans and copies).
• FN: fax plus wired network; FW: fax plus WiFi.

The C430 models are colour printers; the C480 add scanner and copier. They all share the CLT-404S. If you're not sure of your exact model, use our printer finder and locate the toner in a couple of clicks.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible Samsung CLT-404S toner incorporates a chip so the printer recognizes it with no warnings and shows the toner level normally. It yields 1,500 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard, the official standard for colour laser toner, with a 5% coverage per page.

As it's a colour machine, your machine works with the toners of the CLT-404S series in black, cyan, magenta and yellow. You only replace the colour that runs out, without throwing away any of the rest. You can see all the references of the range in the Samsung compatible toner collection.

How much printing costs you

Here's the real difference. A compatible toner like the CLT-404S gives you the same yield of 1,500 pages as the original, but paying much less for each replacement. And on a colour printer, where you end up replacing black and three colours over the year, that saving multiplies cartridge by cartridge.

You don't have to take just our word for it: run your numbers through the savings calculator and you'll see how much you recover against the branded consumables. Check the current price on the CLT-404S page: it costs a fraction of the original.

Frequently asked questions

Does the compatible CLT-404S work in my Samsung Xpress C480FW or in any model of the series?

Yes. The whole Xpress C430 and C480 range —including the W, FN and FW versions— uses the same CLT-404S toner. It carries a chip, so your printer detects it and shows the toner level with no error messages or manual steps.

How many pages does it print?

It yields 1,500 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard (5% coverage per page), the same declared yield as the original consumable. If you print with more coverage or many photos, the real number drops, just as happens with any toner.

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 decline to cover a fault if it proves that this specific consumable caused it, something that does not happen with a quality toner. You can review our warranty policy.

We ship within 24-48 hours across mainland Spain, and shipping is free from €50. You receive your toner ready to install, with no waits.
