The HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge, part number CF350A, is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,500, brand new and sealed in its retail box. This original cartridge is rated at 1,300 pages under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, the test method printer makers use to compare black toner yields. It fits two machines: the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw. You can collect the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge from our shop on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Built for accountants, lawyers, school bursars and small business owners across Kenya, the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge carries the everyday load of invoices, KRA filings, receipts and letters. Black does most of the work in an office printer, so it is often the first cartridge to run dry. When it fades, pages come out grey and streaked just as a client waits at the counter. A sealed spare in the drawer removes that worry. Offices in Westlands and Upper Hill tell us they now keep one HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge in reserve so month-end runs never stall.
Where many Nairobi print shops sell refilled shells or unbranded copies in look-alike boxes, Mascom International stocks only original HP toner, sealed as it left the factory. That matters because refilled powder can leak, streak or confuse the printer's level reading. Buyers throughout Kenya report cleaner pages and fewer service calls after switching back to original supply. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to check the seal and part number before you pay, or order on WhatsApp for same-day delivery within Nairobi. Pay by M-Pesa or cash only once the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge is in your hands.
Common Questions About the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge
How much is the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge in Kenya?
The HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge costs KSh 12,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, sealed and original. That price covers the cartridge in its retail box, our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. The cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges in the same 130A family cost KSh 11,000 each, so black sits KSh 1,500 higher. In return it prints 300 more pages than each colour cartridge, which is why its cost per page is lower.
How many pages does the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge print?
The HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge is rated at 1,300 pages under ISO/IEC 19752, the standard test for black toner yield. That test uses ordinary office pages of text and light graphics, so typed letters and invoices land close to the rating. Pages with heavy black areas, such as scanned IDs, bold logos or copies of dark documents, use more toner and bring the count down. For an office printing around 60 pages a week, 1,300 pages last roughly five months.
Which printers take the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge?
The HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge fits the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw. Both are compact colour laser machines that print, copy and scan. It will not fit other LaserJet models, even ones with similar names, because each family uses its own cartridge shape and chip. Before ordering, check the model name printed on your printer or the code CF350A on your empty cartridge. Send a photo on WhatsApp and Mascom International will confirm the match.
Should I buy the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge or refill my old one?
Buy the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge if clean pages and a healthy printer matter; refill only when the lowest upfront spend is the single concern. A refill reuses a worn shell and a chip that may no longer report toner levels correctly. Refills can spill loose powder inside the machine, leave grey backgrounds or streaks, and deliver fewer pages than promised. The original arrives with fresh toner, a working HP chip and our warranty. Offices sending documents to clients, banks or courts should choose original.
How should I protect the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge from Nairobi dust and heat?
Keep the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge sealed in its bag and box until installation day, stored flat in a cool, shaded cupboard. Dust from busy roads around Industrial Area or Thika Road settles on exposed parts and can mark your pages. Never leave the box in a hot car or on a sunny window ledge, because heat can clump toner powder. Place the printer away from open windows and cover it overnight. These simple habits keep output clean right to the last sheet.
Who should buy the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge if you own an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n or M177fw and want dependable black text. It suits offices, schools, cyber cafés and home users who print mostly documents. Skip it if your printer is any other model, since it simply will not fit; ask us which cartridge your machine takes. If you print several hundred pages every week, a higher-volume monochrome laser printer with larger cartridges will usually cost less per page over time.
What does the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge cost per printed page?
Printing with the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge costs about KSh 9.62 per page, from the KSh 12,500 price divided by the rated 1,300 pages. That figure applies to typical text pages at the ISO test level. A ten-page contract therefore uses roughly KSh 96 of toner, and a two-page invoice about KSh 19. Paper and electricity come on top. Heavy black graphics push the figure up, while short letters with wide margins bring it down slightly.
How can I tell the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge from Mascom International is original?
Every HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge we sell comes in sealed HP retail packaging with the code CF350A printed on the box. Check that the seal is unbroken and the printing is sharp, with no spelling errors or blurred logos. Once installed, the printer reads the HP chip; a used or non-HP cartridge typically triggers a warning on the control panel, while a sealed original does not. You are welcome to open the box in front of us at our Kimathi Street shop before paying.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Rated yield of 1,300 pages under ISO/IEC 19752 — about five months of output for an office printing 60 pages weekly, depending on how dense each page is.
- ISO/IEC 19752 is the international yield test for black toner — it uses the same sample pages for every maker, so you can compare cartridges fairly across brands.
- Dry laser toner fused onto paper by heat — text resists smudging when you handle pages straight from the tray, and stays legible if a drop of water lands on it.
- Original HP formula matched to the M176n and M177fw — sharp edges on small fonts in forms, contracts and tables, with no grey haze behind the text.
- Black also builds the dark shades in colour output — charts, logos and photos keep solid depth instead of looking washed out or brownish.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n — a compact colour laser machine that prints, copies and scans from one desk.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw — the wireless and fax version of the same compact colour laser family.
- Part number CF350A — match this code against your empty cartridge before you order a replacement.
- Works as one of four colour slots — black, cyan, magenta and yellow must all be installed for the printer to run.
- No other printer family accepts this cartridge — send your printer model on WhatsApp for a quick confirmation first.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Original HP cartridge, never refilled or remanufactured — fresh toner in a new shell from the factory, with no worn parts carried over from a previous owner.
- HP chip on the cartridge — a small memory tag that lets the printer estimate toner remaining and warn you before pages start to fade.
- Dry powder toner rather than liquid ink — it does not dry out or clog between jobs the way inkjet ink can after a quiet week.
- Shelf life of about 24 months unopened — a spare bought today stays usable for a long stretch in storage, so stocking one ahead is safe.
- Sealed protective bag inside the retail box — keeps out dust and moisture until the day you install it.
Running Cost
- KSh 12,500 divided by 1,300 pages gives about KSh 9.62 per page — the key number for office budgeting.
- About KSh 2,308 for 240 pages a month — a simple monthly figure for a small office printing budget.
- KSh 1,500 more than each colour 130A cartridge — and 300 extra pages in return for that difference.
- Colour cartridges in this family work out to KSh 11 per page — black is the cheaper colour per sheet.
- Paper and electricity sit outside these figures — add them separately when you cost a large print job.
Inclusions
- One HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge, part number CF350A — a single black cartridge, not a multi-colour pack.
- Sealed HP retail box with an inner protective bag — proof the cartridge has not been opened or refilled.
- No paper, cables or imaging drum — the drum stays in your printer as a separate part.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects — claims handled in person at our service desk.
- Printed Mascom International receipt — useful for office accounts, expense claims and supplier records.
Package Contents
The HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge arrives in its sealed HP retail box, with the cartridge resting inside a protective bag. The box holds the cartridge alone: there is no paper, cable or imaging drum, because the drum is a separate part already inside your printer. Mascom International adds a printed receipt for your accounts. Open the bag only when you are ready to install, and keep the box for storing or returning the empty cartridge later.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the HP 130A Black Toner Cartridge with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects in the cartridge and its chip under normal use. Claims are handled in person at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, where our team checks the cartridge and resolves the issue.
