Why choose the genuine HP 508A toner cartridge
The CF363A is the standard magenta cartridge of the HP 508 series. All-in-one cartridge: toner, imaging drum and developer are replaced together, so print quality is like new at every change, with no separate drum to replace. Genuine HP toner with JetIntelligence: smart level tracking, anti-fraud technology and maximized yield. Colors stay consistent from one cartridge to the next.
508A or 508X: which capacity?
The CF363A (5,000 pages) suits occasional or moderate use. From about a hundred pages a month, the CF363X (9,500 pages) costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers.
Printers compatible with the CF363A
The CF363A is compatible with 7 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise Flow M577c (B5L54A)
- HP ColorJet Enterprise M577f (B5L47A)
- HP ColorJet Enterprise M577dn (B5L46A)
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x (B5L26A)
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553n (B5L24A)
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553dn (B5L25A)
- HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M552dn (B5L23A)
Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Page yield
5,000 pages per ISO/IEC 19798 (5% coverage per color, letter-type documents). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation and maintenance
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the used cartridge, take the new one out of its bag, rock it gently to distribute the toner, pull the protective tab if present, then insert until it clicks. The printer recognizes the cartridge and resets the counter. Used HP cartridges are returned free of charge through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The CF363A suits intensive or shared use: the cartridge (5,000 pages) lasts about a year at 300 pages per month and about 5 months at 1,000 pages per month. Beyond that, the CF363X (9,500 pages) costs less per page.
Store the cartridge in its packaging, flat, away from light and humidity, and unpack it only when installing. At the "Low" alert, order: the printer keeps printing until "Very low" then "Replace". The driver's EconoMode extends life for drafts. Genuine cartridges preserve the printer's HP warranty.
