The ANC CF276A Black Toner is available at Mascom International for KSh 6,500, brand new and sealed. It is a compatible cartridge made by ANC, not by HP, and it is built to replace the HP 76A, whose code is CF276A. The ANC CF276A Black Toner fits the HP LaserJet Pro M404 printer series and the MFP M428 series, including the M404dn, M404dw, M404n, MFP M428fdn and MFP M428fdw, plus the M430f. It is built to the HP 76A's 3,000-page rating. You can collect it from Mascom International on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for offices that print all day across Kenya, the ANC CF276A Black Toner handles contracts, payslips, invoices, tender documents and client files. Lawyers in Upper Hill, accountants preparing KRA filings and NGO field staff printing reports all rely on HP's M404 and M428 machines. The trouble is the price of HP's own cartridges, which can hold up a purchase order for days. The ANC CF276A Black Toner offers a branded compatible option with the same page rating and a clear warranty, so procurement teams can keep printers stocked without waiting on large approvals. That makes month-end printing far less stressful.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops offer either costly HP cartridges or unnamed refills with no history, Mascom International stocks all three choices side by side and explains each one honestly. At Mascom International, we're seeing more firms in Westlands and Kilimani choose a named compatible maker such as ANC for daily printing. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a known brand on the box gives them more confidence than a plain refill. Visit our Kimathi Street counter with your old cartridge, or order the ANC CF276A Black Toner on WhatsApp and pay on arrival, with same-day delivery across Nairobi.
Common Questions About the ANC CF276A Black Toner
How much is the ANC CF276A Black Toner in Kenya?
The ANC CF276A Black Toner costs KSh 6,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed. That price covers one compatible cartridge built to the HP 76A's 3,000-page rating, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Spread over 3,000 text pages, it works out to about KSh 2.17 per page. You can pay by M-Pesa or Lipa na M-Pesa when the cartridge reaches your office, or in cash at our store.
Is the ANC CF276A Black Toner an original HP cartridge?
No, the ANC CF276A Black Toner is not made by HP; it is a compatible cartridge made by ANC. It is built to the size of the HP 76A, whose part code is CF276A, so it fits the same printer bay and is built to the same 3,000-page rating. Mascom International states this clearly on every sale, so you know what you are buying. Offices whose leasing or audit terms require HP-branded supplies should ask our team about HP's own cartridge instead.
How does the ANC CF276A Black Toner compare with the Lightwave 59A and HP 59A at Mascom?
The ANC CF276A Black Toner sits between the two other choices Mascom International stocks for the same M404 and M428 printers. The Lightwave 59A compatible costs KSh 3,800, which is KSh 2,700 less, but it carries a smaller page rating. HP's own 59A costs KSh 19,000, which is KSh 12,500 more than the ANC cartridge. Pick Lightwave for light printing on a tight budget, ANC for steady office volumes, and HP's 59A where contracts demand HP supplies.
Which HP printers does the ANC CF276A Black Toner fit?
The ANC CF276A Black Toner fits the HP LaserJet Pro M404 series and MFP M428 series, including the M404dn, M404dw, M404n, MFP M428fdn, MFP M428fdw and M430f. HP sells these printers with different cartridge numbers in different markets, so the code on your current cartridge matters most. If your old cartridge reads 76A or CF276A, this one is the match. Send a photo of the old cartridge label on WhatsApp, and our team will confirm the fit before you pay.
Will the ANC CF276A Black Toner handle KPLC power cuts and humid coastal offices?
Yes, the ANC CF276A Black Toner works normally in Kenyan conditions when it is stored sealed and dry. In humid towns such as Mombasa, Malindi and Kisumu, keep spare cartridges in their sealed pack in a closed cupboard, because damp air can make toner powder clump. During KPLC power cuts, the M404 or M428 simply stops and resumes later. Plug the printer into a surge protector rather than a small UPS, since laser printers draw heavy current while warming up.
How many pages will the ANC CF276A Black Toner print?
The ANC CF276A Black Toner is built to the HP 76A's 3,000-page rating, which is measured on pages of ordinary typed text. Pages with heavy tables, bold logos or scanned images use more toner, so the real count falls on those jobs. An office printing 150 text pages a day would get roughly 20 working days from one cartridge. Firms with month-end rushes for payslips and invoices should keep a spare cartridge on the shelf before the current one runs low.
Is the ANC CF276A Black Toner good for law firms and accounting offices?
Yes, the ANC CF276A Black Toner suits law firms and accounting offices that print long text documents every day. Contracts, affidavits, ledgers, audit files and KRA returns are mostly text, which matches the kind of page behind the 3,000-page rating. Customers across Nairobi tell us the saving over HP's own cartridge frees money for paper and filing supplies. For court bundles that need many copies, the M428's copy function uses this same cartridge, so one stock item covers both jobs.
Who should buy the ANC CF276A Black Toner, and who should skip it?
Buy the ANC CF276A Black Toner if you run an HP M404 or M428 that takes the 76A and you print steady office volumes. It suits law firms, schools, clinics, SACCOs and sales teams that want a named compatible brand at a fair price. Skip it if your printer takes the 59A; the Lightwave 59A or HP 59A at Mascom International fits that slot. Skip it too if your lease requires HP-branded supplies, where HP's own cartridge is the right choice.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- Black mono laser toner for text, tables and simple graphics — the everyday paperwork of most Kenyan offices
- Compatible cartridge made by ANC, built to replace the HP 76A, part code CF276A, and not made by HP
- Laser toner is a fine dry powder fused onto paper by heat, so pages leave the printer dry and resist smudging
- Built for steady daily printing: contracts, invoices, payslips, reports and forms in offices, schools and clinics
- On the MFP M428 models, the same cartridge serves printing and copying, so one stock item covers both jobs
Compatibility
- HP LaserJet Pro M404dn, M404dw and M404n — compact mono laser printers used widely in small and medium offices
- HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdn and MFP M428fdw — multifunction models that print, copy, scan and fax
- HP LaserJet Pro M430f — another model listed for the HP 76A cartridge that this ANC cartridge replaces
- HP sells these printers with different cartridge numbers in different markets, so match the 76A code on your old cartridge
- Not a replacement for the 59A or other cartridge codes; Mascom International stocks Lightwave and HP options for 59A printers
Yield and Running Cost
- Built to the HP 76A's 3,000-page rating, which HP measures on pages of normal typed text
- KSh 6,500 over 3,000 pages works out to about KSh 2.17 of toner for each text page
- Lightwave 59A compatible at KSh 3,800 costs KSh 2,700 less but carries a smaller page rating
- HP's own 59A at KSh 19,000 costs KSh 12,500 more than the ANC CF276A Black Toner
- Heavy tables, logos and scanned pages use more toner, so they lower the real page count per cartridge
Build
- Cartridge shell made to HP 76A dimensions, so it slides into the M404 or M428 toner bay without force
- Filled with black laser toner powder and sealed by the maker to keep air and damp out until fitting
- Sealed pack protects the cartridge from dust and humidity during storage and delivery anywhere in the country
- Remove the protective tape and rock the cartridge gently side to side before fitting, so the first pages print evenly
- Store spares flat, sealed and away from sunlight, heat and damp until the current cartridge runs low
Inclusions
- One ANC CF276A Black Toner cartridge, filled and ready to install straight from its pack
- Sealed protective pack that keeps the cartridge clean and dry until you open it
- No printer, cable or extra cartridge is included in the pack
- Keep the pack until the cartridge is finished, since it helps our team confirm the item for a warranty claim
- Spare cartridges are available at Mascom International for offices that want one ready before month-end
Package Contents
The ANC CF276A Black Toner arrives in its sealed pack and nothing else: one black toner cartridge made by ANC to replace the HP 76A. There is no printer, cable or extra cartridge inside. Open the pack only when you are ready to fit the cartridge, because the seal keeps the toner dry. Offices that print heavily can buy a spare at Mascom International, alongside the Lightwave 59A compatible and HP's own 59A for printers that take that code.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the ANC CF276A Black Toner with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, including toner leaks, streaking on printed pages, or a chip the printer does not recognise. Bring the cartridge and its pack to our Nairobi CBD service desk, where our team will handle the claim.
