HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge (W2210A) is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 12,500, brand new and sealed in HP's original box. HP rates the HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge at about 1,350 A4 pages at 5% coverage under the ISO/IEC 19798 standard. It fits the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw, M255nw, MFP M282nw, MFP M283fdn and MFP M283fdw. Collect it from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order delivery to any county.

Accounts clerks, advocates' chambers, hardware stores and school bursars lean on the HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge for pages that cannot wait. Payslips, LPOs, delivery notes, tender forms and KRA iTax acknowledgements all print on black toner alone. When black runs low, text turns grey and thin table borders break into dotted lines. A faded affidavit or bid document can be rejected at the counter, costing a full day. Swapping in a fresh HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge takes under two minutes and needs no technician. Sharp 600 x 600 dpi text returns on the next page.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International keeps all four 207A colours on one shelf, so you replace only the cartridge that is actually empty. At Mascom International, we're seeing law firms and SACCO branches buy black in pairs, since black empties two to three times faster than any colour on a text-heavy desk. Customers across Nairobi report that one black cartridge lasts about five months at 250 pages a month. Pay-on-arrival delivery reaches Nyeri, Machakos, Kakamega and every other county, so the HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge arrives before your next filing deadline.
Common Questions About the HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge
How many pages will one black cartridge give a busy office?
HP rates it at about 1,350 A4 pages at 5% coverage, which is close to a typical letter or invoice. An office printing 250 text pages a month gets roughly five and a half months from one cartridge. Pages with heavy tables, dark letterheads or scanned stamps use more toner, so real output usually lands between 900 and 1,250 pages. Checking the Supplies Status page monthly lets you reorder long before the gauge hits zero. Busy chambers printing 500 pages a month should expect to replace black roughly every ten weeks.
What does each black page cost with this cartridge?
Black works out to about KSh 9.26 per page at rated coverage, since KSh 12,500 divided by 1,350 pages gives that figure. A 20-page tender response therefore uses roughly KSh 185 in toner. Cyber cafés around Nairobi CBD usually charge KSh 10 to KSh 20 per printed page, before the walk and the queue. For a chambers or accounts office printing daily, original black toner in-house costs less and keeps client files private. Sensitive payroll and case documents never sit on a shared cyber computer or a stranger's flash drive.
My printer came from the United States. Will the 207A work in it?
Probably not. HP region-codes the M255 and M282-M283 printer families. Units sold in Kenya, Europe, the Middle East and the rest of Africa take 207A cartridges, while units sold in the United States take the 206A range. The two look almost identical, yet a printer coded for 206A may reject a 207A as incompatible. Read the part number on your old cartridge before ordering, or WhatsApp us a photo and our team confirms the correct code before you pay.
Why does black empty long before cyan, magenta and yellow?
Every letter, figure and table line on an ordinary business page uses black toner only. A page of plain text draws no colour toner at all. Law firms, hardware counters and bursaries therefore empty black two or three times for every colour cartridge. That is exactly why HP sells each 207A colour separately. You pay KSh 12,500 for the empty black alone, instead of KSh 53,600 for a full set while three colours still hold plenty of toner. Over a year, that single-colour approach can save a busy office tens of thousands of shillings.
How do I fit the black cartridge in an MFP M283fdw?
Open the front door and pull the cartridge drawer out by its handle. Lift the empty black cartridge from its labelled slot. Take the new one out of its bag, hold it by the handle and rock it gently five or six times to spread the toner. Pull off the protective packing, drop the cartridge into the black slot, then slide the drawer back and close the door. The printer reads the chip and returns to Ready within about a minute. Bag the old cartridge for recycling instead of binning loose toner.
How can I tell an original 207A black from a clone or refill?
Check three things before paying. The box should show W2210A on its label and carry an HP security seal that shifts appearance when tilted. Inside, the cartridge sits in a sealed protective bag. After installation, the control panel should show no used or non-HP supply warning. Clones and refills often trigger that message, misreport toner levels and leave grey streaks down the page. Every HP 207A Black Toner Cartridge sold at Mascom International passes all three checks.
Is the 207A black worth buying over the higher-capacity 207X?
The 207A suits offices printing up to about 400 black pages a month, where 1,350 pages lasts three months or more. It costs less upfront, which helps small businesses managing cash flow week by week. Offices printing well above 500 black pages monthly may prefer the larger 207X to cut reorders. Both fit the same printers and drawer slot. If you are unsure which suits your volume, call us with your monthly page count and we will work out the numbers.
How should I store a spare black cartridge in Kenyan conditions?
Keep it sealed in its box, lying flat, away from windows, kitchens and hot storerooms. HP rates unopened cartridges for storage between -20°C and 40°C at 10% to 90% humidity, so an ordinary cupboard in Nairobi, Eldoret or Nyeri is fine. Offices along the coast in Mombasa or Malindi should avoid damp corners during the long rains. If a cartridge travelled in a hot car, let it rest indoors for about an hour before opening.
Technical Specifications
Black Output and Page Yield
- HP part number W2210A identifies the black cartridge in the 207A family, printed on every box label.
- Rated yield is about 1,350 A4 pages at 5% coverage, declared under the ISO/IEC 19798 test method.
- Black carries all text, table lines and stamps, so it empties first in document-heavy offices.
- Print resolution reaches 600 x 600 dpi, keeping 8-point footnotes and narrow ledger columns readable.
- Dense pages with dark logos or scanned documents raise toner use, so plan on 900 to 1,250 pages.
- Actual yield varies with page content, economy settings and how often the printer runs calibration cycles.
Printer Compatibility and Region Coding
- Fits the Color LaserJet Pro M255dw, a compact colour printer with Wi-Fi and automatic two-sided printing.
- Fits the Color LaserJet Pro M255nw, which shares one printer across staff through Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
- Fits the Color LaserJet Pro MFP M282nw, an all-in-one that prints, copies and scans over a network.
- Fits the Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdn and M283fdw, which add fax and a 50-sheet document feeder.
- Printers sold in the United States take the 206A range instead and may reject a 207A cartridge.
- Pairs with cyan W2211A, yellow W2212A and magenta W2213A to complete the four-cartridge 207A set.
Cartridge Design and Protection
- JetIntelligence technology keeps text density steady from the first page through to the last few pages.
- HP anti-fraud technology helps the printer and the buyer confirm the cartridge is an original HP supply.
- A memory chip tracks remaining toner and reports the level on the control panel and in HP printer software.
- The front drawer design lets you replace black alone without touching the three colour cartridges.
- Colour-coded slot labels inside the drawer stop staff from fitting black into the wrong position.
- The boxed cartridge measures 363 x 96 x 111 mm and weighs 0.75 kg, easy to courier upcountry.
Print Engine Performance
- The M255 and M283 series print up to 21 pages per minute on A4, in black or colour.
- First black page arrives in about 10.6 seconds from ready, quick enough for walk-up counter printing.
- HP recommends 150 to 2,500 pages a month, matching chambers, clinics, SACCO branches and small schools.
- Duty cycle reaches up to 40,000 pages a month, absorbing year-end audits and exam-season rushes.
- The 250-sheet input tray holds half a ream, and printed pages collect in a 100-sheet output bin.
- HP ImageRET 3600 enhancement smooths edges on logos and charts printed beside black body text.
Storage and Operating Conditions
- HP rates cartridge operation at 10°C to 32.5°C, covering most offices from Nairobi to Kisumu.
- Operating humidity of 20% to 80% suits inland offices, while coastal rooms benefit from good ventilation.
- Sealed spares tolerate storage from -20°C to 40°C, so a quarter's stock survives an ordinary cupboard.
- Storage humidity tolerance of 10% to 90% protects boxed cartridges through the long rains in Kakamega.
- Store spares flat and away from windows, because direct heat can clump toner and cause faint patches.
- A cartridge carried in a hot vehicle should rest indoors for an hour before installation.
Cost Planning and Authenticity
- Black toner works out near KSh 9.26 per page at the rated 1,350-page yield.
- An office printing 250 black pages a month spends roughly KSh 2,315 a month on toner.
- HP security labels change appearance when tilted and carry a code you can scan to confirm origin.
- The printer checks for an original supply at installation, a test that clones and refills often fail.
- Accurate gauges let finance staff reorder early and settle through Lipa na M-Pesa before stock runs out.
- Printing internal drafts in economy mode and finals at normal quality stretches each cartridge further.
