HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge is available at Mascom International for KSh 10,000, an original HP LaserJet supply carrying part number W2410A and rated by HP at 1,050 pages. Every unit we sell is brand new and sealed in HP's own box. The HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge fits the compact HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 printer and the M182 and M183 multifunction models. You can collect it from our shop at Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD, or order by phone and pay when it reaches your door. Our staff will confirm your printer model before anything is dispatched.
Built for accountants, lawyers, school administrators and small business owners across Kenya, the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge carries the bulk of daily office printing. Most pages that leave a small office are black text: quotations, delivery notes, KRA filings and printed eCitizen forms. When black runs out halfway through month-end, work stops until a replacement arrives. Keeping one HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge on the shelf removes that pause. Because it is HP's own cartridge, the printer reads its chip and reports toner levels the way HP designed it to.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops mix original stock with refilled or look-alike cartridges, Mascom International sells only sealed HP originals, so the box you open matches the part number on the shelf. Customers across Nairobi tell us the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge is the supply they reorder most, since black wears down faster than the three colours in a typical office. Firms in Westlands, Industrial Area and Upper Hill often keep a spare on hand. Walk into the shop to collect one today, or ask for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge
How much is the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge in Kenya?
The HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge costs KSh 10,000 as a sealed HP original at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the cartridge, our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. Each of the three colour cartridges in the 216A family sells for KSh 10,900, so black is KSh 900 cheaper per unit. A full set of all four cartridges comes to KSh 42,700 at Mascom International.
How many pages does the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge print?
HP rates the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge at 1,050 pages under the ISO/IEC 19752 test standard. That test uses pages with about 5% of the sheet covered in toner, roughly a short business letter. Pages packed with tables, bold headings or scanned images use more toner, so the real count drops. Light text pages sit nearer the rated figure. Treat 1,050 as a planning number for budgets and reorders, not a promise for every document type you print.
Which printers take the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge?
The HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge works in the HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 printer and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182 and M183 models, including the M182n and M183fw. HP fits these cartridges with a chip, and the printer checks it, so the cartridge is meant only for the models HP lists. Check the model name on the front panel or the label at the back before you order. Send a photo on WhatsApp and Mascom International will confirm the match.
How does the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge compare with the 216A colour cartridges?
The HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge gives more pages for less money than its colour siblings. Black costs KSh 10,000 for 1,050 rated pages, about KSh 9.52 per page. Cyan, magenta and yellow each cost KSh 10,900 for 850 pages, about KSh 12.82 per page. Offices that print mostly text should keep a spare black on hand and buy colours as each runs low. Design studios and schools that print colour handouts should budget for all four together.
How should I store a spare HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge in Nairobi's dust and heat?
Keep a spare HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge sealed in its HP box until the day you install it. Store it flat in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunny windows and away from the printer's warm exhaust. Dry-season dust in Nairobi settles on anything left open, and toner powder can clump when it sits in heat. Open the seal only when the old cartridge is spent, and handle the new one by its sides.
Who should buy the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge if you own an HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, M182 or M183 and print mostly text. Skip it if your printer is an HP Color LaserJet Pro M255 or M283, which take the HP 207A family instead, or a black-only LaserJet, which uses different supplies again. Anyone with another HP model should check the cartridge number in the printer manual first. Mascom International can look it up for you on WhatsApp.
How long will the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge last in a small office?
At 50 text pages a day, the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge lasts about 21 working days, based on HP's 1,050-page rating. That works out to roughly KSh 476 a working day for black printing. A two-person office printing 20 pages a day could stretch one cartridge to about 52 working days. Heavier coverage, such as spreadsheets with shaded cells, shortens these figures. Track a week of printing, then divide 1,050 by your daily page count to set a reorder date.
Does the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge come with an imaging drum?
No, the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge holds toner only. In the M155, M182 and M183 printers, the imaging drum is a separate HP part, the HP 219A, which lasts through several toner changes. You replace the drum only when the printer reports it worn out. That split keeps each toner change cheaper, because you are not paying for a fresh drum every time the black runs out at Mascom International or anywhere else in Kenya.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- HP-rated yield of 1,050 pages under ISO/IEC 19752, the industry test for black toner at about 5% page coverage.
- Black laser toner fused onto the paper by heat, so text does not smear the way wet ink can on fresh pages.
- Real page counts depend on coverage; light memos run near the rating, while dense tables and scanned images use more.
- Original HP toner formulation, matched to the printer's settings so text density and edge sharpness stay consistent between cartridges.
- Suited to business documents, so invoices, contracts and reports come out with solid black text that stays legible when copied.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series, the single-function colour printer HP lists for this black cartridge, often found on reception desks and in home offices.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182 series, including the M182n, which prints, scans and copies using the 216A set.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M183fw, the fax-equipped multifunction model that HP also lists for the 216A family.
- HP chip on the cartridge, which the printer reads to accept it and report toner levels, so fit is limited to HP's list.
- Not for the HP 207A printer family; the M255 and M282 or M283 models need their own cartridges.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Sealed HP retail box, so the cartridge reaches you with HP's packaging and seal intact from the factory.
- Toner-only design, with the imaging drum kept as a separate HP 219A part so each toner change costs less.
- Single colour per cartridge, so you replace black on its own without touching cyan, magenta or yellow, and pay only for the toner you have used up.
- Laser toner powder fused by heat, so pages leave the printer dry and ready to file, sign or staple.
- Part number W2410A, HP's code for the 216A black, useful when ordering for a company asset register or tender.
Running Cost
- Price of KSh 10,000 divided by 1,050 rated pages gives about KSh 9.52 per black page at standard coverage.
- About KSh 952 for every 100 pages, a simple figure for budgeting a month of office printing or quoting a print job to a client.
- KSh 900 less than each 216A colour cartridge, while giving 200 more rated pages than any of them.
- Colour pages cost about KSh 12.82 each for cyan, magenta or yellow, so black-only printing is the cheaper channel.
- Full four-cartridge set at KSh 42,700, worth budgeting for when all four toners near empty together.
Inclusions
- One HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge, part number W2410A, in a sealed HP box, ready to install as soon as the old black cartridge runs out.
- A 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 Kenyan counties, so you see the sealed box before you pay.
- A model check on WhatsApp before you buy, so the cartridge matches the printer on your desk.
- Collection from our Kimathi Street shop, Monday through Saturday, if you would rather pick it up in person.
Package Contents
Inside the box you get one HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge, part number W2410A, sealed in its original HP packaging. No imaging drum, paper or cables come with it, since your printer already has those. Check that the HP seal is unbroken before you open it. Keep the box once the swap is done: it makes a clean wrapper for the spent cartridge when you dispose of it, and it stops loose toner dust from spreading around the office.

Mascom International backs the HP 216A Black Toner Cartridge with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the cartridge fails to print properly through a fault in how it was made, bring it to our Nairobi CBD service desk, where the claim is assessed and handled by our team.
