Mascom International has the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge, part number CF353A, in stock at KSh 11,000, and every unit is brand new and sealed. This original cartridge is rated at 1,000 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, so its yield can be compared directly with other colour toners. It is the red-pink primary for the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw. Pick up the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge from Room 4 on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in the heart of Nairobi CBD, or have it brought to your door.
Event planners, restaurant owners, church secretaries and small print kiosks rely on magenta more than they realise. It forms every red, pink, orange and purple on the page, and it gives skin tones their warmth in printed photos. Once the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge fades, red headings slide toward orange, logos lose their strength and faces look pale. A wedding programme or Sunday bulletin printed that way looks rushed. Customers across Nairobi tell us that fitting a fresh HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge the night before a big event spared them a costly reprint at a commercial press.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell whatever magenta toner arrives cheapest, Mascom International keeps only factory-sealed HP stock with the part number visible on every box. Third-party magenta powders can drift in shade, so a red logo printed this week may not match last month's batch. Original toner holds that colour steady across reorders. Come to Kimathi Street to see the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge in person, or order on WhatsApp from Kisumu, Nakuru or anywhere else in the country and pay only when the parcel lands.
Common Questions About the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge
How much does the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge cost in Kenya?
The HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge is priced at KSh 11,000 at Mascom International, Nairobi CBD, sold sealed and original. For that amount you receive the cartridge in HP's own box, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county. Its cost matches the cyan and yellow 130A cartridges exactly, and the black sits KSh 1,500 above at KSh 12,500. Magenta is often bought on its own, since heavy red and pink printing empties it ahead of the others.
What happens to my prints when the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge runs low?
When the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge runs low, reds look orange, pinks fade toward pale yellow and purples drift blue. Skin tones in photos lose their warmth and look washed out. Black text stays normal, which is why many offices miss the problem until a colour job comes out wrong. Your printer's control panel and supplies status page show estimated toner levels, so check them before printing anything for a client, a wedding or a fundraiser.
Is the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge better than a third-party compatible magenta cartridge?
The HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge costs more than most third-party compatible magenta cartridges sold in Kenya, but it delivers dependable colour and a working HP chip. Compatibles are new cartridges made by other companies to fit the same printer, and quality varies widely between brands. Some match HP closely, while others print weaker reds, trigger non-HP warnings or leak powder. Pick the original for logos, certificates and client brochures; a compatible may suit internal drafts where exact colour matters less.
Is the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge good for church programmes, event flyers and restaurant menus?
Yes, the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge handles church programmes, event flyers and menus well on an M176n or M177fw, especially in runs of a few dozen copies. Magenta carries the reds and pinks that make headings stand out and food photos look appetising. Toner fused onto paper does not run if a drink spills on a menu. For runs of several thousand flyers, a commercial printer on Luthuli Avenue or River Road will usually cost less per copy.
Will a KPLC power cut damage the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge during printing?
No, a KPLC power cut will not harm the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge itself, because it holds dry powder and a small chip with nothing that breaks when power drops. The sheet printing at that moment may stop part-way or jam, so remove it gently once power returns. Laser printers draw a heavy surge while warming up, so plug yours into a surge protector rather than a small UPS. Offices in outage-prone areas from Kayole to Kitengela find this step protects the printer.
Who should buy the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Pick the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge if you own an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n or M177fw and print reds, pinks, food photos or event materials. It also suits anyone whose status page shows magenta lower than the other three colours. Skip it if your machine is any other model, or if you have stopped printing colour and use only black. Print shops producing colour posters all day need a production-class printer with far larger cartridges instead.
How many flyers can I print with the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge?
The HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge is rated at 1,000 standard pages, but flyer counts depend on how much red and pink each design carries. A text flyer with a single magenta heading can reach the rating or go past it. A promotional flyer with a large red background covering most of the sheet uses much more toner, so expect far fewer copies. Print a test batch of 20, then check the estimated level on the status page to plan the rest.
What does a full set of four HP 130A cartridges cost at Mascom International?
A full set of four HP 130A cartridges costs KSh 45,500 at Mascom International: black at KSh 12,500, plus cyan, magenta and yellow at KSh 11,000 each. At the rated yields, one full-colour page at the standard test level uses about KSh 43 of toner across all four. Most owners do not buy all four at once, because each colour empties at a different rate. Buying the HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge alone, as it runs out, keeps spending in step with use.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- 1,000-page rating measured under ISO/IEC 19798 — the colour-yield test printer makers publish, so figures compare like for like across brands.
- Magenta is the red-pink primary in four-colour laser printing — it blends with yellow for reds and oranges, and with cyan for purples.
- Gives printed skin tones and food photos their warmth — without enough magenta, faces and dishes look pale and lifeless.
- Toner is melted onto the sheet by the fuser, a heated roller inside the printer — finished pages shrug off spills and fingerprints.
- Steady HP shade from one cartridge to the next — a red logo printed this month matches the batch from last quarter.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n — supported model, connected over USB or a wired office network cable.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw — supported model with Wi-Fi printing from phones and laptops, plus a fax line.
- CF353A is the code to match — it is printed on the magenta cartridge label and on the outer HP carton.
- One of four toner positions in these printers — magenta works together with the black, cyan and yellow 130A cartridges.
- Not interchangeable with other HP magenta cartridges — check your printer's model name before buying to avoid a wasted trip.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Factory-new HP cartridge — the shell, seals and toner are all original parts, with nothing salvaged from used units.
- Carries an HP chip that talks to the printer — so the control panel can estimate magenta remaining and warn you in good time.
- Dry toner powder that cannot evaporate — a cartridge left in an idle printer for weeks still prints cleanly when you return.
- Unopened shelf life of about 24 months — a spare held back for a busy event season stays ready to use.
- Protective inner bag inside the HP retail carton — it keeps the cartridge free of dust and damp during storage and transport.
Running Cost
- KSh 11,000 spread over 1,000 rated pages — about KSh 11 per page of magenta at the ISO test level.
- A full-colour page draws on all four 130A cartridges — at rated yields that comes to about KSh 43 of toner per page.
- Full set of black, cyan, magenta and yellow costs KSh 45,500 — most owners replace colours one at a time instead.
- Red-heavy designs cost more per page than the rating suggests — budget extra for posters, menus and promotional flyers.
- Paper and electricity are separate costs — include them when you price a print job for a customer or an event.
Inclusions
- A single HP 130A Magenta Toner Cartridge, code CF353A — sold as one colour, so you replace only what has run out.
- Delivered in HP's sealed carton with the inner bag untouched — easy to verify on the spot before you pay.
- No imaging drum, paper or cables — the printer's drum is a separate part and stays inside the machine.
- Covered by Mascom International's 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects — claims handled at our service desk.
- Itemised receipt from Mascom International — suitable for church accounts, event budgets and business records.
