The HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge, part number W2221A, is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 13,900. Each unit is brand new and sealed, straight from HP. HP rates this standard-capacity cyan cartridge at about 1,200 pages, and it belongs to the four-cartridge 222A set used by the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series. You can collect the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge from our shop in Room 4 on the First Floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered and pay when it arrives.
Designed for colour work, the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge supplies the blue that your printer blends into sky tones, greens and navy. Marketing teams, school administrators, NGO field offices and church secretaries rely on it for bar charts, brand logos, county maps and newsletters. Once cyan runs low, blue logos turn purple or washed out, and greens drift toward yellow. Fitting a fresh HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge returns the colour balance HP set for the printer, so reports printed in Westlands match the ones your Kisumu branch prints from the same template.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded cyan powder or refilled shells, Mascom International keeps only original HP supplies, the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge included. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a mismatched cyan is the quickest way to spoil a client presentation, because company colours and skin tones shift on the page. Our counter staff will check your printer label against HP's list before you pay. You can also ask us on WhatsApp to read out the install-by date on the box. Pay by M-Pesa or cash, either in store or when the delivery reaches you.
Common Questions About the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge
What is the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge price in Kenya?
The HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge sells for KSh 13,900 at Mascom International in Nairobi as a sealed HP original. The price includes the 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. Yellow and magenta 222A cartridges cost the same KSh 13,900, while the black is KSh 12,300. Buying the three colours together comes to KSh 41,700, a sensible order when your printer flags every colour level as low in the same week.
What does the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge actually print?
The HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge lays down the blue-green layer of every colour page. On its own it prints light blue; mixed with yellow it produces greens, and with magenta it gives deeper blues and purples. Your printer builds nearly every coloured shade from cyan, magenta and yellow, then adds black for text and shadows. If your office prints logos, maps or charts heavy in blue or green, expect cyan to empty sooner than the other colours.
I own an HP Color LaserJet Pro 3202 bought in Kenya; will the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge work?
Check the model first, because HP lists the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge for the 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series, not the 3202. HP matches the 3202 and 3302 with its 219A cartridges, which look similar but carry different part numbers. Printers in Kenya arrive from different regional stock, so the label on your machine matters more than anyone's guess. Send Mascom International a photo of that label, and we will tell you which cartridge fits.
Is the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge better than a refilled cyan cartridge?
For colour accuracy, yes: the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge uses HP's own toner, made for the colour settings in your printer. A refilled cyan shell costs less at first, but the powder inside varies from one refiller to the next, so blues can print too dark or too pale. Refills can also leak inside the printer and soil its internal parts. Choose the HP original for client work and branding; a refill suits only rough internal drafts.
How should I store the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge in Mombasa's humidity?
Keep the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge sealed in its packaging until the moment you install it, since damp air can make toner powder clump. In Mombasa, Malindi or Kilifi, store it in a closed cupboard inside an air-conditioned or well-ventilated room, off the floor and away from outside walls. Lay the box flat rather than on its end. Buyers on the coast tell us a sealed spare kept indoors prints as cleanly as a fresh one when its turn comes.
Who should buy the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge, and who is it not for?
Buy the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge if your HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 or MFP 3388 shows cyan low or prints blues with streaks. It is not for owners of a 3202, 3302 or an older Color LaserJet, who need a different cartridge number. Offices printing mainly black text may get months more from their cyan and should spend on black first. Shops printing colour all day should look at HP's high-yield 222X cyan instead.
How many school newsletters can the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge print?
At HP's rated yield of about 1,200 pages, the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge covers roughly 600 double-sided newsletters with light colour use. That works out to about KSh 11.58 of cyan per printed side. A school in Nakuru or Eldoret printing 150 newsletter pages a month would replace cyan roughly every eight months. Heavy blue headers, photos and full-page backgrounds reduce that count, so plan on fewer pages for colourful designs.
How can I confirm the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge is fresh stock?
Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp to confirm the install-by date HP prints on the box of the HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge before you buy. We will send a photo of the box label with the part number W2221A visible. Every cartridge we sell arrives sealed in HP packaging, so you can check the seal yourself at the counter or when the boda boda rider hands it over. If the seal is broken, refuse the delivery.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- HP-rated yield of about 1,200 pages — enough for several months of charts, reports and newsletters in a typical small office.
- Cyan toner layer — prints light blue alone and builds greens and blues when combined with yellow and magenta.
- Standard-capacity cartridge — a smaller upfront cost than HP's high-yield 222X cyan for offices with moderate colour volumes.
- Toner fused by heat — colour pages leave the printer dry and ready to staple, bind or file at once.
- Rating based on HP's standard test pages — full-bleed photos and solid blue backgrounds return fewer pages than quoted.
Printer Compatibility
- Works in the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203 series — one of four printer families HP names for 222A supplies.
- Fits the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3288 series — the same cyan slot takes the same W2221A part number.
- Suits the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303 series — the copy-and-scan models from HP's list for this cartridge.
- Suits the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3388 series — also named on HP's compatibility list for 222A cyan.
- Not listed for 3202 or 3302 printers — those take HP's 219A cartridges, so check your printer label before buying.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Genuine HP cyan toner — made by HP to match the colour settings built into its Color LaserJet Pro printers.
- Part number W2221A — printed on the box and the cartridge label for a quick match with your old unit.
- Onboard HP chip — reports the remaining cyan toner so the level shows on the printer's control panel.
- One colour per cartridge — when only cyan empties, you replace cyan and keep the other three cartridges running.
- Factory-sealed packaging — protects the toner from humidity and dust while the cartridge waits on your shelf.
Running Cost
- KSh 13,900 divided by about 1,200 pages — roughly KSh 11.58 per page of cyan at HP's rated coverage.
- 300 colour pages a month — about KSh 3,475 a month in cyan, with one cartridge lasting about four months.
- Same price as the yellow and magenta 222A cartridges — budgeting for colour replacements stays simple and predictable.
- Three-colour set of cyan, yellow and magenta — KSh 41,700 when all colour levels run low together.
- A 4-page colour brochure — around KSh 46 in cyan toner, a useful figure when quoting print jobs.
Inclusions
- One HP 222A Cyan Toner Cartridge, W2221A, inside its sealed HP carton.
- HP's protective wrapping — strip every piece of tape and packing before sliding the cartridge into place.
- HP-printed install-by date on the carton — message us on WhatsApp and we will confirm it for you.
- Supply only — no printer, cables, paper or spare parts come in the carton.
- Black, yellow and magenta 222A cartridges available separately from Mascom International.
