HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 18,650 as an original HP LaserJet supply with part number CE411A and a rated yield of about 2,600 pages. It is brand new and sealed, straight from HP's tamper-resistant packaging. The HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge is the blue member of the 305A set and works in the LaserJet Pro 300 Color M351 and MFP M375, plus the LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451 and MFP M475 printers. Pick one up at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for marketing teams, estate agents, schools and church offices, the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge handles the colour work that sells an idea: flyers, property brochures, pie charts and branded letterheads. Cyan is one of the three colour toners the printer layers to build every shade, so a weak or fake cyan turns sky blues grey and greens muddy. Estate agents in Kilimani tell us faded listing sheets cost them viewings. The HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge keeps blues clean and logos on-brand, because HP designs the toner and chip for these exact printers, so colour stays steady from the first sheet.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix refilled cartridges onto the same shelf as originals, Mascom International sells sealed HP stock with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a single counterfeit colour cartridge can throw off a whole print run, wasting paper and a day's work. Schools in Kisumu and design studios in Nairobi order the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge from us because they can pay by M-Pesa on arrival. Walk into the shop to inspect the box, or message us on WhatsApp for same-day delivery within Nairobi.
Common Questions About the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge
What is the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge CE411A price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge CE411A for KSh 18,650 in Nairobi, as a sealed original HP supply. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. Magenta and yellow 305A cartridges cost the same KSh 18,650, while the black 305A is KSh 15,000, a gap of KSh 3,650. Buying cyan, magenta and yellow together costs KSh 55,950, which covers every colour slot in the printer.
Is a genuine HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge better than a compatible cyan toner?
For most offices, yes: the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge gives steadier colour and fewer printer problems than a third-party compatible. Compatibles cost less upfront, but their toner blend and chip are copies, so blues can print lighter or shift from one batch to the next. Some trigger non-HP supply warnings or stop reporting toner levels altogether. Choose the original if your prints go to clients, tender boards or parents. A compatible may suit internal drafts where exact colour matters less.
Can I pay for the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge with M-Pesa and get it delivered outside Nairobi?
Yes, you can pay for the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge by M-Pesa or cash when it arrives, with nothing paid upfront. Mascom International delivers to all 47 Kenyan counties, reaching Nairobi and its environs the same day and most major towns the next business day. Check the sealed box before handing over payment. For a company purchase, ask us for a receipt showing the CE411A part number so your accounts team can file it with your KRA records.
Is the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge the right choice for my office, or should I look elsewhere?
The HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge is right for any office running a LaserJet Pro M351, M375, M451 or M475 that prints charts, flyers or branded documents. Marketing teams, schools and estate agents get the most from it. Look elsewhere if you print only black text, because the black 305A is the cartridge you will replace most often. Owners of other HP colour models need a different cartridge family, so check the code on your current cyan cartridge first.
Does the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge work in the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451dn?
Yes, the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge is compatible with the LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451dn, along with the M451, M451dw and M451nw. It also fits the MFP M475 series and the LaserJet Pro 300 Color M351 and MFP M375 printers. On the M451dn, the cyan cartridge sits in its own marked position beside the other three colours. If your old cartridge reads CE411A, this is the direct replacement, and Mascom International can confirm the match on WhatsApp.
How long will one HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge last in a small office?
One HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge is rated for about 2,600 pages by HP's ISO test, which uses mixed colour pages at standard coverage. A small office printing 50 colour pages a week would get roughly a year from it. Pages heavy in blue, such as sky backgrounds, water images or blue-branded letterheads, drain cyan faster. Mostly black documents barely touch it. Watch the toner level on the printer panel and order a spare once it shows low.
How do I install the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge?
Installing the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge needs no tools or technician. Open the printer's front door or toner drawer, lift out the empty cyan cartridge from its marked position, then take the replacement out of its packaging. Rock it gently side to side to spread the toner, pull off any packing tape or protective covers, and slide it into the cyan position until it seats. Close the door and the printer reads the chip on its own.
What should I do if colours look off after fitting the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge?
Run the printer's colour calibration from the control panel or HP software, which realigns how the four toners layer on the page. If blues still look wrong, print a supplies status page to confirm the HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge shows as genuine and full. Streaks often point to a worn part elsewhere in the printer rather than the toner itself. Bring a sample print to our Nairobi CBD shop and our team will help you narrow down the cause.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- About 2,600 pages per HP's ISO rating, roughly a year of use at 50 colour pages a week in a small office.
- Cyan is the blue-green toner in four-colour printing, mixed with yellow for greens and with magenta for deep blues.
- Rated under the same ISO method as the other 305A cartridges, so the cyan figure compares directly with the rest of the set.
- Standard-yield cartridge with 510 more rated pages than the black 305A that sits beside it in the same printer.
- Pages heavy in blue, such as sky photos or blue logos, use cyan toner faster than the rating suggests.
Printer Compatibility
- Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 300 Color M351, a compact single-function printer suited to small teams sharing one machine.
- Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 300 Color MFP M375 and M375nw, which add copying and scanning to colour printing.
- Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451, M451dn, M451dw and M451nw, models common in schools and agency offices.
- Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475, M475dn and M475dw, multifunction units built for heavier shared use.
- Part code CE411A appears on the label of every genuine cartridge, so compare it with your used cyan before buying.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Genuine HP toner formulated for these LaserJet Pro colour printers, so blues come out even across the whole page.
- Chip on the cartridge tells the printer its cyan level, giving you warning before colour pages start to fade.
- Tamper-resistant chip, firmware and box from HP, which helps buyers spot counterfeit cyan cartridges sold in the market.
- HP builds its cartridges partly from recycled materials, cutting the amount of fresh plastic that goes into each one.
- Hand-fit design with no screws or tools, so office staff can swap it themselves without calling a technician.
Running Cost
- KSh 18,650 divided by 2,600 rated pages comes to about KSh 7.17 per page of cyan coverage.
- 100 colour pages use about KSh 717 of cyan toner at HP's ISO coverage, before the other colours are counted.
- Cyan, magenta and yellow together cost KSh 55,950, covering all three colour positions in one purchase.
- Each colour cartridge costs KSh 3,650 more than black but rates 510 more pages, so its cost per page lands almost level.
- At 50 colour pages a week, cyan toner works out to about KSh 359 a week over the cartridge's rated life.
Inclusions
- One HP 305A Cyan Toner Cartridge, part number CE411A, packed singly in HP retail packaging.
- Tamper-resistant HP box and seals that you can inspect at our counter or on delivery before paying.
- No printer, cables or paper come with it, because the cartridge replaces a used one in a printer you own.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty on manufacturing defects, claimed at the Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Install-by date confirmable on WhatsApp, where our team can send a clear photo of the box label.
