HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge is on sale at Mascom International for KSh 10,900, listed under HP part number W2413A and rated by HP at 850 pages. Each cartridge we hold is brand new and sealed, and you can see it at our first-floor shop in Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge feeds the red and pink end of the colour range in the HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 and the multifunction M182 and M183. Without enough magenta, reds print orange and purples print blue, which spoils anything with a red logo or a warm photograph.
Built for event planners, schools, churches and the printing desks in cyber cafés across Kenya, the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge earns its keep on certificates, wedding programmes, posters and branded letterheads. School crests, sports club colours and many company logos use red or maroon, and those shades depend on magenta. When magenta runs low halfway through a run of graduation certificates, the whole batch looks off and the card stock is wasted. A sealed HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge kept on standby lets you finish the job the same afternoon.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops cannot tell you whether a cartridge is an original or a refill, Mascom International sells only sealed HP stock with a clear part number on the box. At Mascom International, we're seeing schools and print shops from Eldoret to Kisumu order magenta alongside yellow ahead of term openings and graduation season. Pay through Lipa na M-Pesa when your HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge arrives at your gate, or visit our counter on Kimathi Street and collect it the same day, Monday through Saturday.
Common Questions About the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge
How much does the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge cost in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge for KSh 10,900 as a sealed HP original from its Nairobi CBD shop. The figure includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to every county. Cyan and yellow cost the same, and the 216A black sits KSh 900 lower at KSh 10,000. Two colours bought together, such as magenta and yellow, come to KSh 21,800, a common pairing when warm-toned posters and certificates drain both at once.
How does the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge differ from the HP 207A magenta?
The HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge and the HP 207A magenta fit different printers and cannot be swapped. The 216A family serves the compact HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, M182 and M183. The 207A family serves the larger M255 and the M282 or M283, which are built for busier offices. Choose the cartridge that matches your printer model, not the one with the lower price, because each printer checks the chip and refuses a cartridge from the other family.
Can I pay for the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge with M-Pesa on delivery?
Yes, you can pay for the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge by M-Pesa when the rider hands it over, anywhere in Kenya. Mascom International delivers on a pay-on-arrival basis, so you check the sealed HP box before any money changes hands. Nairobi orders arrive the same day, and major towns such as Nakuru and Eldoret get theirs the next business day. You can also pay by M-Pesa or cash at our Kimathi Street shop if you collect in person.
Which buyers get the most from the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge, and who should choose something else?
Schools, churches, event planners and print desks running an HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, M182 or M183 get the most from the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge, since their work leans on reds, pinks and purples. Offices that print only black documents should skip it and replace the black cartridge first. Anyone printing hundreds of colour pages every week may find a larger HP colour laser with higher-yield supplies cheaper to run, and should compare running costs before committing to this compact printer family.
How can I tell the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge is a genuine HP original?
A genuine HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge comes in an HP box with an intact seal and an HP security label designed to be hard to copy. Once installed, the printer reads the chip and reports the cartridge as an original HP supply on its control panel. At Mascom International you can open the outer box in front of our staff before paying. Avoid any cartridge sold loose without a box, since nobody can show you where it has been.
What does the 850-page rating on the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge really mean?
The 850-page figure on the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge comes from ISO/IEC 19798, a standard test where each page carries about 5% magenta coverage. Your own count rises with sparse coloured headings and falls with full-colour posters or photographs. Think of it as a fair way to compare cartridges, not a guaranteed total. At KSh 10,900, the rated yield gives about KSh 12.82 per magenta page, a number you can use to price print jobs for customers.
What does the warranty on the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge cover?
Mascom International covers the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge for 6 months against manufacturing defects. If the cartridge fails to print correctly because of how it was made, our Nairobi CBD service desk handles the claim. Bring the cartridge to the desk, and our team assesses it there with you. Keep a spare sealed in its box until you need it, since an unopened cartridge is the easiest to store and to check if a question ever comes up.
Can an office or school order several HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge units at once?
Yes, offices and schools can order several HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge units in one go from Mascom International. Send the quantity and your printer model on WhatsApp or by email, and we confirm availability and the total before dispatch. Delivery stays pay-on-arrival, so a bursar or office manager can count and check every sealed box before payment. Five magenta cartridges, for example, come to KSh 54,500, which makes budgeting for a full school term simple.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Yield rated by HP at 850 pages, measured with the ISO/IEC 19798 method used across colour laser printers worldwide.
- The rating assumes roughly 5% magenta per page, so certificates with large red borders consume toner faster than that figure.
- Magenta drives reds, pinks and purples; it blends with yellow to make red and with cyan to make violet.
- HP's own toner recipe keeps red logos and school crests close to the shade the printer was profiled to produce.
- Heat-fused output means certificates and programmes can be signed, folded or laminated as soon as they leave the tray.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M155, the print-only member of the 216A printer family, accepts this magenta cartridge.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M182, including the M182n, takes it in a machine that also scans and copies documents.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M183fw is listed by HP alongside the M182, adding fax as an extra function.
- The printer verifies the chip, so the cartridge is accepted only in the HP models on its compatibility list.
- Not interchangeable with the 207A magenta, which belongs to the M255 and the M282 or M283 printers.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Factory-sealed HP packaging confirms the cartridge reaches you unopened, unrefilled and exactly as HP shipped it.
- Toner reservoir without a drum; the HP 219A imaging drum is bought and replaced separately when the printer asks.
- Magenta changes independently, so the black, cyan and yellow cartridges keep running until their own levels drop.
- Chip-based level tracking shows remaining magenta on the control panel, so you can reorder before a job stalls.
- HP part number W2413A is the code to give suppliers, procurement teams and our WhatsApp desk when you order.
Running Cost
- KSh 10,900 over 850 rated pages works out to about KSh 12.82 for every magenta page at test coverage.
- A run of 200 certificates at test coverage uses about KSh 2,564 of magenta, a simple figure for quoting.
- Priced level with the 216A cyan and yellow, so no colour in the set costs more to replace than another.
- The 216A black costs KSh 10,000, about KSh 9.52 a page, which makes it the cheapest channel in the set.
- All four 216A cartridges together cost KSh 42,700, worth budgeting before school terms or busy tender seasons.
Inclusions
- One HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge with part number W2413A, factory sealed by HP in its retail carton.
- Mascom International's 6-month manufacturing-defect warranty, with every claim handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery in all 47 counties, so payment comes only after you inspect the sealed box.
- Part-number confirmation on WhatsApp for any printer model you send us, before the order leaves our shop.
- The option to collect in person at Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street during opening hours.
Package Contents
Expect one HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge, HP part W2413A, in its sealed HP carton. The cartridge comes on its own, with no drum, cables or paper, because those parts already sit in your printer. Leave it sealed until the old magenta is spent; an unopened spare stores better than an open one. When the swap is done, the empty carton holds the used cartridge for disposal and keeps leftover toner from marking shelves or clothing.
Warranty
A 6-month warranty from Mascom International covers the HP 216A Magenta Toner Cartridge against manufacturing defects. Claims go through the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD, where our staff inspect the cartridge and process the claim with you in person.
