HP 824A Cyan LaserJet Image Drum (CB385A) 35,000 Page Yield

HP 824A Cyan LaserJet Drum

The HP 824A Cyan Drum (CB385A) serves as a critical imaging component designed for high-volume enterprise printing environments. This unit functions as the primary electrostatic surface for the cyan color plane. It works in direct synchronization with HP ColorSphere toner to produce sharp text and accurate color reproduction. The architecture of this imaging module supports the HP Color LaserJet CP6015 series and the CM6030/CM6040 multifunction printer (MFP) platforms. Consequently, it ensures that the printing system maintains peak performance throughout its lifecycle. This component is essential for transferring the latent laser image to the paper or intermediate transfer belt with high precision.
