The HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge, part number W1500A, is available at Mascom International for KSh 9,200, in stock and ready to collect or deliver. Each unit is brand new and sealed, an original HP LaserJet supply rated by HP at about 975 pages under the ISO/IEC 19752 test. The HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge fits HP's compact LaserJet M111 and MFP M141 printers, including the M111cw, M111ca, M141a, M141ca and M141cw. You can pick one up at our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, and our team will confirm your printer model before you pay.
Built for home offices, small shops, cyber cafés and university students across Kenya, the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge keeps a small mono laser printer turning out sharp text for assignments, invoices, KRA returns and eCitizen forms. The usual problem is a faded or streaked page right before a deadline, followed by a hunt for toner that may or may not be genuine. A sealed HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge removes that guesswork. Swapping it takes a few minutes, and you are back to clean black pages. At KSh 9,200 for about 975 pages, it works out to roughly KSh 9.44 per page.
Where many Nairobi printing shops sell refilled or unbranded cartridges in plain boxes, Mascom International sells this toner as an original HP supply with the factory seal intact. Customers across Nairobi tell us they come to us after a cheap refill leaked powder inside their printer or gave up halfway through a ream. Buying the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge from a walk-in store means you can see the box, check the part number and ask questions face to face. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, same day within Nairobi and the next business day to most major towns.

Confirm today's stock on WhatsApp before you travel to the shop.
Which printers work with the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge?
The HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge fits HP's LaserJet M111 and MFP M141 printers, according to HP's own product page. Named models include the HP LaserJet M111cw, M111ca, MFP M141a, MFP M141ca and MFP M141cw. HP also lists the cartridge against its M109 to M112 and M139e to M142e families. To be certain, send us the model name printed on your printer's front on WhatsApp. Mascom International confirms the match before dispatch, so you never pay for a cartridge that will not fit.
How many pages does the HP 150A print, and what does each page cost?
HP rates the HP 150A at about 975 pages, measured with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard test pages. At KSh 9,200, that works out to roughly KSh 9.44 per page in toner, or about KSh 944 for every 100 pages. A full 500-sheet ream costs around KSh 4,718 in toner. Real yields vary: pages heavy with photos, logos or bold tables use more toner than plain letters and invoices. A home user printing 50 pages a week can expect one cartridge to last roughly four and a half months.
Is the original HP 150A worth it over a cheaper compatible toner in Kenya?
For most Kenyan offices, the original HP 150A is worth the extra cost because its yield is rated and its output is predictable. Compatible and refilled cartridges sold around Nairobi cost less upfront, but HP does not rate their page counts and quality varies from batch to batch. Common complaints include grey text, streaks, powder spills and cartridges the printer will not accept. Choose the original if your printer handles client documents, exams or tender papers. A compatible may suit a student printing rough drafts who accepts the risk.
Can the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge handle Kenyan heat, dust and KPLC power cuts?
Yes, with sensible storage: keep the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge sealed in its box until you need it, away from direct sun and damp. In Mombasa's coastal humidity or a dusty Industrial Area workshop, cover the printer when idle and wipe paper dust from the tray. A KPLC power cut mid-job does not harm the cartridge; simply reprint the unfinished pages once power returns. Plugging the printer into a surge protector shields its electronics from the spikes that often follow an outage in Kenya.
How can I tell that an HP 150A is genuine and not a fake?
Buy the HP 150A from a walk-in store that sells it sealed, and check the HP packaging and the part number W1500A before opening it. Fakes in Kenya often come in boxes with blurred printing, missing security labels or wrong part numbers. At Mascom International you can inspect the box at our Kimathi Street counter before you pay. If the cartridge prints badly from the first page or your printer flags it, bring it back to our Nairobi CBD service desk under the 6-month warranty.
Who should buy the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge if you own an HP LaserJet M111 or MFP M141 and print a few hundred pages a month: home offices, students, small shops and school or church admin desks. Skip it if you run a different printer, because it will not fit models outside HP's listed families. Offices printing thousands of pages a month are better served by a larger LaserJet Pro with higher-yield cartridges and a lower cost per page. Colour work also needs a different machine, since this cartridge prints black only.
How do I install the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge?
Installing the HP 150A takes a few minutes and needs no tools. Switch on the printer, open the cartridge access door and lift out the old cartridge. Take the fresh HP 150A from its bag, gently rock it side to side to spread the toner, and pull off all packing tape and protective material. Slide it into place until it sits firmly, close the door and print a test page. Keep the old cartridge in the bag for recycling. Our Mascom International team can guide you on WhatsApp.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Rated yield of about 975 pages, by HP's own figure under ISO/IEC 19752 — the shared industry test for mono laser cartridges.
- That rated yield equals roughly two 500-sheet reams of paper — enough for a term of assignments or months of household paperwork.
- Black toner only — crisp text for letters, invoices, CVs and application forms; colour photos and brochures need a colour printer.
- Laser toner is fused onto the paper with heat — printed pages come out dry and ready to handle straight from the tray.
- Actual yield varies with what you print — pages with heavy graphics, logos or bold tables draw more toner than plain typed text.
Printer Compatibility
- HP LaserJet M111cw and M111ca — compact single-function laser printers sized for home desks, reception counters and small offices.
- HP LaserJet MFP M141a, MFP M141ca and MFP M141cw — multifunction models that print, copy and scan, all taking this cartridge.
- HP also lists the M109 to M112 and M139e to M142e families — confirm your exact model letters with us before ordering.
- Fits only the HP printer families listed above — other LaserJet ranges use cartridges with different shapes and part numbers.
- Mascom International checks your printer model on WhatsApp before dispatch — a quick photo of the front label avoids a wasted trip.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Original HP LaserJet toner, part number W1500A — the code printed on the box and the quickest way to confirm the right item.
- Standard-capacity cartridge — sized for light to moderate printing, which matches the monthly volumes these compact printers handle.
- Cartridge weighs about 0.51 kg, and the boxed package about 0.81 kg — light enough to carry home in a laptop bag.
- Boxed package measures about 375 x 108 x 125 mm — small enough to keep in a desk drawer or supply shelf until needed.
- Sealed factory packaging — keeps the toner protected from humidity and dust right up to the moment you install it.
Running Cost
- KSh 9,200 divided by HP's rated 975 pages — about KSh 9.44 per page in toner, before the cost of paper.
- About KSh 944 per 100 pages — a simple figure for budgeting a month of school, church or office printing.
- About KSh 4,718 in toner per 500-sheet ream — a useful base for pricing print jobs in a cyber café or small shop.
- At 50 pages a week, one cartridge lasts about 19 weeks — roughly four and a half months between purchases.
- At 25 pages a week, one cartridge lasts about 39 weeks — close to nine months for a light home user.
Inclusions
- One HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge, factory sealed in its HP box — ready to install with no extra parts to buy.
- HP recycling guide — explains how to return the used cartridge responsibly instead of throwing it out with household waste.
- No printer, paper or cables — this is a replacement supply for a compatible HP printer you already own.
- Mascom International receipt showing the W1500A part number — your proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects — claims handled in person at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Package Contents
The HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge comes in HP's sealed retail box with two items: the toner cartridge itself and HP's recycling guide. There is no printer, cable or paper in the box, since this is a replacement supply for a printer you already own. Keep the bag the cartridge arrives in, because it is the cleanest way to store the empty one before recycling. If you print often, ask us on WhatsApp to hold a spare before your next deadline.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the HP 150A Black Toner Cartridge with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the cartridge fails to print properly, leaks toner or is rejected by a compatible printer because of a factory fault, bring it with your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk for assessment. Toner used up through normal printing is not a defect.
