HP 207A Cyan Original Toner W2211A (1,250 pages)
By Seb Clark, Editor, UniDoc Solutions·Updated
The M255dw's colour cartridges — in the UK that's the 207A series (206A is the US equivalent).
About 6.5p per colour page for cyan alone — the M255dw is a printer to run on genuine and print colour sparingly.

Our take
A common confusion: US reviews of the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw talk about 206A / 206X toner. In the UK and Europe the same printer takes the 207A (W2210A black, W2211A cyan, W2212A yellow, W2213A magenta) and the high-yield 207X. Buy 207, not 206.
Each colour is 1,250 pages standard, so a full set is around £300 and colour-heavy printing gets expensive fast. The M255dw is a great printer for mostly-mono offices that need occasional colour — treat the colour toner accordingly.

Genuine vs compatible — which should you buy?
Genuine cartridges cost more per page but carry the maker's warranty, hit the quoted page yield reliably, and never trip firmware "unrecognised cartridge" blocks.
Compatible (third-party) cartridges are typically 40–70% cheaper. Quality is fine from reputable sellers, but yields are optimistic, colour accuracy varies, and some brands (HP with HP+ in particular) actively block them. For a mono laser printing text, compatibles are usually the sensible buy; for colour or warranty-critical kit, stay genuine.
