HP Color LaserJet Enterprise x55745dn Toner Cartridges
Your HP Color LaserJet Enterprise x55745dn uses the 213A / 213X / 213Y / 217Z toner series. We have been supplying consumables for this printer since 14 May 2026. This enterprise-grade printer employs a four-cartridge system where the black toner typically depletes at a faster rate due to standard document workflows. Because this printer is designed for high-demand environments, users often find that transitioning from the standard 213A cartridges to the high-yield 213X or 213Y variants is the most effective way to reduce the frequency of printer maintenance and downtime.
Understanding Toner Yield and Duty Cycles
Page yield for the 213A toner series is measured according to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard for colour laser printers. This standard ensures a consistent measurement by testing the cartridges under specific environmental conditions with a set suite of five standard pages. In a high-volume office setting, your actual yield will fluctuate based on the percentage of page coverage; for instance, printing dense charts or graphics will deplete the cyan, magenta, and yellow toners much faster than standard internal memos.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 213A | Standard | Black | 3,500 | $0.068 |
| 213A | Standard | Cyan | 3,000 | $0.11 |
| 213A | Standard | Magenta | 3,000 | $0.11 |
| 213A | Standard | Yellow | 3,000 | $0.11 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Strategic Procurement and Delivery
For small businesses and high-volume offices, managing the replenishment of the 213A series is best handled through bundle packs to ensure all three colours are available simultaneously. When one colour runs out, the others are often close behind, and having a full set on hand prevents multi-day stoppages. We ship these cartridges from our national network of warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide to ensure rapid arrival. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). You can also view our full range of HP toner cartridges or review our return conditions at our Returns policy.
Pro Tip
To ensure the longest possible life for your Enterprise series toners, avoid frequently restarting the printer. Each time an enterprise LaserJet power-cycles, it performs a calibration and "shaking" routine of the toner hoppers which can consume a small amount of toner and wear the internal developer components prematurely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix 213A standard cartridges with 213X high-yield cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise x55745dn is designed to accept any combination of the 213 series capacities. You can run a high-yield 213X black toner alongside standard 213A colour cartridges if your office primarily prints monochrome documents with occasional colour logos.
Why does my printer show "Toner Low" when there is still visible powder in the cartridge?
Enterprise printers use an internal page counter and a physical sensor to estimate remaining life. Once the chip reaches its calculated limit based on ISO standards, it triggers a warning. For the 213A series, you can usually continue printing until the print quality visibly fades, though it is wise to have a replacement ready once the alert appears.
What is the difference between the 213A, 213X, and 217Z series for this printer?
These codes represent the tiered yield capacities. The 213A is the standard yield, while the 213X, 213Y, and 217Z offer progressively higher toner volumes. They all share the same physical footprint and installation method, but the higher-yield versions contain more toner powder and a more robust internal feeding mechanism to handle the extended page counts.
