HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge, part number CF226A, is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 24,000, brand new and sealed in HP's original packaging. HP rates the HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge at about 3,100 pages under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, which assumes roughly 5% coverage per page. It fits the LaserJet Pro M402n, M402d, M402dn, and M402dw, plus the MFP M426dw, M426fdn, and M426fdw. The drum is built into the cartridge, and HP's auto seal removal means no tape to pull. Collect it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Insurance agencies, procurement departments, hospital admissions desks, and audit firms chose the M402 and M426 for speed, reaching about 38 pages per minute on A4. Those machines often run for hours during tender submissions, claims processing, and quarter-end audits. A failing refill at that moment stalls an entire team. The HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge keeps those printers at full pace with factory-filled toner and a genuine HP chip. At KSh 24,000 for 3,100 pages, each page costs about KSh 7.74. That figure covers claim forms, bid documents, and patient files at one steady rate.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix refilled 26A cartridges into original stock, Mascom International sells only sealed HP boxes with the security label intact. At Mascom International, we're witnessing more procurement teams specify originals after refills failed mid-tender. Banking professionals across Upper Hill and Westlands report that the HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge holds dense, even text through long duplex runs. Offices that outgrow the HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge can move to the 26X, rated at 9,000 pages. Walk in to confirm the fit, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties.

It fits seven HP models: the LaserJet Pro M402n, M402d, M402dn, and M402dw, plus the LaserJet Pro MFP M426dw, M426fdn, and M426fdw. The model name appears on the front panel and the configuration report. It will not fit the M404 or M428, which replaced this series and use the 58A cartridge. A wrong code wastes KSh 24,000 and a busy afternoon. Send a photo of your printer label on WhatsApp and our team confirms compatibility before you pay.

HP rates it at about 3,100 pages under ISO/IEC 19752, which assumes 5% of each page carries toner. Typed letters and claim forms land close to that figure. Letterheads, tables, and scanned images use more toner and lower the count. An insurance agency printing 150 pages a day, five days a week, would finish one cartridge in about four weeks. A smaller office printing 60 pages daily would stretch it to roughly ten weeks of normal use.

Choose the 26A if you print under 2,000 pages a month or want to spread cash across smaller purchases. The 26X, part number CF226X, is rated at about 9,000 pages, nearly three times the 26A figure. It fits the same seven printers and usually cuts the per-page cost for heavy users. Procurement departments running tender documents in bulk often save with the 26X. Ask us for current 26X pricing and we will compare per-page figures for your monthly volume.

Toner and drum together cost about KSh 7.74 per page, based on KSh 24,000 divided by 3,100 pages. Because the drum is built in, no second supply adds to that figure. An audit firm printing 2,000 pages a month would use about two cartridges every three months, spending roughly KSh 15,500 monthly. Paper is the only other regular cost. That makes supply spending easy to forecast and approve through a standard purchase order each quarter.

It removes the old pull-tape step. On older cartridges, you had to pull a long sealing strip before installation, which sometimes snapped or spilled toner onto hands and carpets. The HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge unseals itself as you close the printer door. The easy-open packaging also cuts unpacking time. For receptionists and junior staff who change cartridges without training, that means a clean swap in under a minute and no toner on office clothing before a client meeting.

Check the security label on the box before opening it. The label changes colour when tilted, and its QR code or serial number can be verified on HP's anti-counterfeit site. The factory tape should be unbroken, and the cartridge sits in a sealed bag. Refills often show scuffed plastic, toner residue, or a replaced chip, and HP firmware can flag cloned chips. Mascom International lets you inspect every seal at our Kimathi Street counter before paying.

JetIntelligence is HP's toner and cartridge system used in the 26A. Its low-melt toner fuses at a lower temperature, cutting the power the M402 and M426 draw per page. That helps offices tracking KPLC costs or running printers from backup generators and inverters. The chip also measures remaining toner accurately and warns you before output fades. HP pairs this with print-quality technology that keeps text density steady, so page 3,000 should look much like page 30.

Anyone running an M402 or M426 who needs fast, predictable output from mixed staff. That includes insurance agents processing claims, procurement officers preparing tenders, hospital admissions desks at Aga Khan and Nairobi Hospital, and CPAs handling KRA submissions. The duplex-ready M402dn and M426fdw suit firms printing double-sided to save paper. Offices printing over 3,000 pages a month should compare the 26X first, because its per-page cost usually lands lower for sustained volume.

The HP 26A Black Toner Cartridge arrives in HP's easy-open retail box, factory sealed with the colour-shifting security label intact. Inside, the cartridge sits in a sealed protective bag that keeps moisture and dust away from the toner and drum. You receive:

Keep the box to carry the used cartridge to recycling.
