HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 10,900, under HP part number W2411A with an HP-rated yield of 850 pages. Each one arrives brand new and sealed at our Nairobi CBD shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street. The HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge supplies the blue channel in HP's compact colour laser range: the Color LaserJet Pro M155 and the MFP M182 and M183. Cyan mixes with magenta and yellow to build almost every colour your printer produces, so a weak or missing cyan dulls greens, blues and darker shades across the page.
Designed for estate agents, church secretaries, teachers and small marketing teams, the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge handles brochures, bar charts, maps and colour-coded timetables. Agencies in Kilimani and Westlands print property flyers full of blue skies and swimming pools, and those images lean heavily on cyan. A faded cyan turns sky blue into grey and pushes green lawns toward yellow. Replacing it with an original HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge brings the printer's colour balance back to where HP set it, so you avoid reprinting a whole batch of flyers.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix refills with originals on the same shelf, Mascom International keeps HP's seal on every box until you open it. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a genuine cyan matches their earlier prints, which matters when a company logo has to look the same on every letterhead and quotation. Order the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge on WhatsApp and pay with M-Pesa when the rider hands it over, or pick it up at our Kimathi Street counter during opening hours, six days a week.
Common Questions About the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge
What is the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge price in Kenya?
The HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge sells for KSh 10,900 as a sealed HP original at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide. Magenta and yellow 216A cartridges cost the same KSh 10,900, while the 216A black is KSh 900 cheaper at KSh 10,000. Buying cyan alone keeps your outlay down when only the blue channel has run low on the control panel.
What does each page cost with the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge?
Each cyan page costs about KSh 12.82 with the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge, working from its KSh 10,900 price and the 850-page rating HP publishes. That rating follows ISO/IEC 19798, the standard test for colour laser toner at roughly 5% coverage. A hundred pages works out to about KSh 1,282 in cyan. Photo-heavy flyers use far more than 5% coverage, so budget a larger figure for marketing runs than for charts and coloured headings.
HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge or a cheaper remanufactured cyan: which should I buy?
Pick the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge when colour accuracy and a reliable printer matter more than the lowest shelf price. The original carries HP's chip, which the M155, M182 and M183 check, while third-party cartridges rely on a copied chip that a printer firmware update can reject. Remanufactured toner can also differ in shade, so blues drift between batches. A remanufactured unit suits rough drafts; client-facing brochures and logos suit the original.
Can KPLC power cuts harm the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge during a print job?
A KPLC power cut does not damage the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge itself, because the toner stays inside its sealed housing. The page being printed at that moment may come out unfinished or jam, so clear it once power returns. Connect the printer through a surge protector, since the spike when electricity comes back is the bigger risk to its electronics. Leave the cartridge in place during the outage rather than pulling it out.
Is the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge right for my office, or should I look elsewhere?
The HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge suits offices running an HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, M182 or M183 that print colour charts, logos or flyers every week. It is the wrong buy for anyone printing only black text, who should replace the 216A black and leave cyan alone. Owners of an HP Color LaserJet Pro M255 or M283 need the 207A cyan instead. Inkjet owners need ink, not toner, so check the printer type first.
How will I know the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge is running low?
The printer reads the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge chip and shows an estimated cyan level on its control panel. On network-connected models, HP's own printer app on a phone or computer shows the same reading. When a low-toner message appears, some pages usually remain, so order then rather than waiting for empty. Printing a supplies status report from the printer menu puts every colour level on paper for your records.
Can I replace just the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge without changing the other colours?
Yes, the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge goes in on its own, and the black, magenta and yellow stay where they are. Each colour has its own cartridge and its own chip, so the printer tracks them separately. This saves money when your printing leans on blue tones, because you pay KSh 10,900 for cyan rather than KSh 42,700 for a full set. Swap only what the control panel reports as low, and keep the other three running until their own warnings appear. Mascom International can deliver a single cyan the same day within Nairobi.
Does the HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge print company logos in the right blue?
An original HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge gives the printer the toner shade its colour settings were built around, so blues stay consistent from one cartridge to the next. Exact brand colours still depend on the file, the paper and the printer's colour mode. For logos, print a test sheet on the paper you will use and adjust the colour settings once. Save those settings so every repeat job prints the same way. A church in Nakuru or Kisumu printing weekly programmes with a blue masthead gains most from this habit, since each Sunday's copies then match.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Rated at 850 pages by HP under ISO/IEC 19798, the standard method for measuring how far colour laser toner goes.
- Test pages carry about 5% coverage per colour, so full-bleed photos and solid colour blocks cut the real count well below 850.
- Cyan is one of three process colours; mixed with magenta and yellow, it creates blues, greens and many darker tones.
- Original HP toner keeps blues true to HP's colour settings, so repeated jobs look alike from one cartridge to the next.
- Toner is fused onto the page by heat, so colour prints come out dry and you can hand them out straight from the tray.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, HP's print-only model in the 216A family, sized for a desk in a small office or home.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182 models, such as the M182n, which combine a printer, scanner and copier in one unit.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M183fw, the multifunction model with fax that also sits on HP's compatibility list for this cyan.
- The printer checks the cartridge chip, so use the 216A cyan only in the HP machines listed above.
- Different from the 207A cyan, which the larger M255 and M283 printers need instead of this cartridge.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Arrives in HP's sealed retail box, and the unbroken seal shows the cartridge has not been opened, refilled or swapped.
- Holds cyan toner only, while the separate HP 219A imaging drum stays in the printer through many toner changes.
- Individual colour design, so a cyan change leaves the other three cartridges untouched and saves money on uneven usage.
- Electronic chip on board reports remaining cyan to the control panel and HP's printer app, so you can plan reorders early.
- Part number W2411A is HP's code for the 216A cyan, the reference to quote on purchase orders and asset records.
Running Cost
- KSh 10,900 divided by 850 pages gives about KSh 12.82 for each page of cyan at standard test coverage.
- About KSh 1,282 per 100 cyan pages, a handy figure when you quote colour print jobs to clients or departments.
- Same price as the 216A magenta and yellow, so each colour costs exactly the same to replace when it runs out.
- KSh 900 above the 216A black, which also gives 200 more rated pages than any of the three colours.
- A full-colour page draws on all four toners, roughly KSh 48 at 5% coverage each, worked out from the rated yields.
Inclusions
- One sealed HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge, part W2411A, ready to slot into a compatible HP colour laser printer.
- A 6-month Mascom International warranty that covers manufacturing faults, with claims made at our Nairobi CBD desk.
- Delivery on a pay-on-arrival basis, same day within Nairobi and the next business day to major towns.
- A free fit check before ordering: send your printer's model name or a photo of its label on WhatsApp.
- In-store pickup at Kimathi Street, Monday through Saturday, for buyers who work in or near the CBD.
Package Contents
The box holds one HP 216A Cyan Toner Cartridge, part number W2411A, inside HP's sealed packaging. Nothing else is bundled: the imaging drum, power cable and paper all stay with your printer. Check that the HP seal is unbroken when the parcel arrives, before you pay the rider. Keep the packaging after the swap, because it gives you a tidy way to wrap the empty cartridge and keep stray toner off desks and carpets.
