HP Magenta toner 305A – 304A

The HP 304A and HP 305A Magenta toner cartridges complete the color trio for this highly successful desktop engine platform. Just like their Cyan counterparts, they feature an all-in-one cartridge structure (toner hopper, developer roller, and internal green OPC drum integrated into one housing) and share the exact same physical body dimensions.

However, they are not directly interchangeable because they use different tracking smart chips and have distinct regional firmware configurations.

1. Complete System Compatibility Matrix

For managing e-commerce listings, compatibility databases, or sorting stock bins, these two magenta units route to these specific printer models:

HP 304A Magenta Track (CC533A):

• Color LaserJet CP2025 / CP2025n / CP2025dn / CP2025x

• Color LaserJet MFP CM2320nf / CM2320fxi

HP 305A Magenta Track (CE413A):

• LaserJet Pro 300 color MFP M375nw

• LaserJet Pro 400 color M451nw / M451dn / M451dw

• LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn / M475dw

2. Technical Specifications & Yield Metrics

As is standard for HP’s color cartridges in this specific desktop bracket, there are no high-yield “X” versions for the colors; high capacity is strictly reserved for the black units.

3. The Full Color Companion Sets

For multi-pack product bundling, quick inventory checks, or kit assembly, here is how these magenta cartridges line up within their full four-color configurations:

304A Full Cartridge Set:

• CC530A (Black) — ~3,500 pages

• CC531A (Cyan) — ~2,800 pages

• CC532A (Yellow) — ~2,800 pages

• CC533A (Magenta) — ~2,800 pages

305A/305X Full Cartridge Set:

• CE410A / CE410X (Black) — ~2,200 / ~4,000 pages

• CE411A (Cyan) — ~2,600 pages

• CE412A (Yellow) — ~2,600 pages

• CE413A (Magenta) — ~2,600 pages

4. Component-Level Rebuilding & Canon Twins

• Canon Cross-Reference (Engine Twins):

  • The HP 304A Magenta (CC533A) matches the mechanical build of the Canon CRG-118M / CRG-718M cartridge (used in the imageCLASS LBP7200C / MF8350Cdn).

  • The HP 305A Magenta (CE413A) matches the mechanical build of the Canon CRG-131M / CRG-731M cartridge (used in the imageCLASS LBP7110Cw / MF628Cw).

• Internal Component Sourcing: For aftermarket production, non-original builders can utilize a standard “universal plastic shell.” The interior wear components—such as the OPC drum, magenta-rated developer roller, internal primary charge roller (PCR), and wiper blades—are 100% identical and interchangeable across the HP 304A, HP 305A, Canon 118, and Canon 131 lines. The final functional separation is determined entirely by the electronic smart chip affixed to the top track.
