      Needed a replacement toner cartridge for our HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn. Easy to order online, and at a good price. Delivered promptly. Was a bit nervous of installing the cartridge at first - didn't want to make a mistake as they're expensive. No problem though, very simple, and have been very pleased with the quality of the printing for our small home-based office. The packaging is also reusable to return the cartridge for recycling, just need to print off a label and take to the post office. Would recommend to other users.

      I am very satisfied with the service and the product. I have checked other suppliers at times and always have come back to cartridgesave. Then only thing that has never worked for me is the next day delivery. I guess one would have to order before a certain deadline for this to be workable.

      We are always pleased with the service received from Cartridgesave and with the quality of the cartridges.

      I am a little disappointed though, that as a regular customer we never receive the occasional incentive discount. Something you could consider maybe?

      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

  • Can I use a HP 505A cartridge in the HP Pro 400 M401dn printer?

    HP M401dn cartridge compatibility

    No, we don't stock a cartridge with the code "505A". Please ensure that your HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn printer was purchased in the UK. If it was, you'll need to buy the black HP 80A or HP 80X toner cartridges as listed above. If your LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn printer was purchased outside of the UK you'll require different number cartridges and need to contact HP so they can help you find a supplier of these items.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn Printer Review

Expert review of the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn printer

Our Verdict:

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 Printer M401dn is a monochrome laser printer aimed at small businesses and home offices that require high quality output. It is efficient enough to be shared by small groups of users. The built-in duplexer is a time-saving feature that makes it more efficient for saving resources. Unfortunately, all the good features of the LaserJet Pro M401dn mono laser printer are overshadowed by the slow print speeds.

Design

This 11Kg black and white laser printer measures 364mm wide, 271mm tall, and 368mm deep, making it quite compact for a standard desktop. The LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn printer from Hewlett Packard runs on a 800MHz processor with 256MB of built-in memory. The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M-401dn features a protruding 3.5-inch touchscreen display for easy viewing.

Advantages

The HP LaserJet M401dn prints high quality text and its maximum paper capacity can be increased to 800 sheets. There is a built-in automatic duplexer and Ethernet capabilities. Paper handling is quite versatile with a multi-purpose tray that can handle 50 sheets at a time. The HP M401dn LaserJet Pro printer supports a range of mobile printing capabilities including web-based apps, Apple Air Print, and HP ePrint. Users can print high resolution 1200x1200dpi monochrome text and graphics. For cheaper operating costs the LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn mono printer can be run on low-cost compatible HP 400 M401dn toner cartridges made by third-parties rather than Hewlett Packard.

Disadvantages

Speed is the major disadvantage of the HP LaserJet Pro M401dn laser printer. There is no hard disk drive and the built-in memory is not expandable. The HP M401dn printer is quite expensive to run, too, and the output tray's capacity is limited to 150 sheets, which is insufficient for bulk printing.
