HP Colour Laserjet CP5225 Toner Cartridges
Your HP Colour Laserjet CP5225 uses the HP 307A toner cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this A3 colour laser printer since Jul 2013. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. In typical office environments, routine black text printing depletes the 307A (CE740A) Black toner faster than the 307A (CE741A) Cyan, 307A (CE742A) Yellow, and 307A (CE743A) Magenta cartridges, while full-colour oversized marketing documents draw heavily on all four units simultaneously.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for HP 307A toner cartridges are measured using the ISO/IEC 19798 standard for colour laser printing at 5% page coverage. High-density coverage, such as printing full-bleed A3 marketing banners or graphics-heavy presentations, will consume toner faster than standard business letters.

Pro Tip for HP CP5225 Toners
When replacing colour toners after heavy A3 graphics printing, replace all exhausted colour cartridges together rather than staggered single replacements to ensure consistent colour calibration across large print runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print in black text mode if one of the colour toners is completely empty?
No, the HP Colour Laserjet CP5225 requires all four toner cartridges-Black 307A (CE740A), Cyan 307A (CE741A), Yellow 307A (CE742A), and Magenta 307A (CE743A)-to have remaining toner and operational chips installed in order to initiate any print job, including monochrome documents.
Why do colour cartridges deplete even when I mostly print black and white?
During the printer's startup and periodic automatic diagnostic cycles, small amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow toner are used to maintain drum readiness and perform internal colour calibration. Additionally, some driver settings default to composite black, which blends colour toners into dark backgrounds.
Do A3 prints deplete toner twice as fast as standard A4 pages?
Yes. Page yield ratings are calculated on standard A4 pages at 5% coverage. Because an A3 page has twice the surface area of an A4 page, printing an A3 sheet consumes approximately double the toner of an equivalent A4 document.
