HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge stock at Mascom International sells for KSh 14,500 per unit, brand new and sealed in HP's original carton. Sold under part number CE252A, this genuine HP LaserJet cartridge supplies the yellow toner your printer blends into reds, greens, oranges and skin tones. HP rates the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge at about 7,000 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, and it is filled with ColorSphere toner. It suits the HP Color LaserJet CP3525 series and the CM3530 MFP series. Collect it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Built for restaurants, hotels, print-and-copy bureaus and school offices across Kenya, the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge handles menus, event programmes, certificates and colour newsletters. Many people assume yellow barely matters because they rarely print a yellow page. In fact, every green field, orange sunset and warm face in a printed photograph needs yellow, so an empty yellow cartridge turns greens blue and faces grey. A Nakuru hotel printing menus before a wedding weekend, or a school preparing prize-day certificates, needs that colour right. The HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge brings warmth back to every colour page.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops cannot tell you where a toner cartridge came from, Mascom International sells original HP stock you can verify on the box. At Mascom International, we're seeing more offices return to genuine HP yellow after refills left them with muddy greens and patchy photographs. Each HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge carries a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. Order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives at your office, or walk in to see the security label for yourself before you buy.
Common Questions About the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge
How much does the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge cost in Kenya?
The HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge costs KSh 14,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sold as original HP stock in an unopened carton. For that price you also get a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya, with same-day delivery in Nairobi and its environs. The HP 504A Black and HP 504A Cyan cartridges share the same KSh 14,500 price, which makes budgeting for a CP3525 refill straightforward.
Is the genuine HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge better than a refilled or compatible yellow cartridge?
For most offices, yes: the genuine HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge gives predictable colour, its full rated yield and a warranty you can claim. Compatible and refilled yellow cartridges cost less upfront, but quality varies from batch to batch, and poor toner can spill inside the printer. On an ageing CP3525, a toner leak can cost more to clean up than the savings. Choose a compatible only if colour accuracy does not matter to you; choose genuine HP for client-facing work.
Does the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge work in the HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP?
Yes, the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge works in the HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP and the CM3530fs MFP. It also fits the CP3525n, CP3525dn and CP3525x printers. All five use the same 504A cartridges, so one yellow cartridge suits any of them. It does not fit inkjets, the older CP3505 or the Color LaserJet Pro range. If your office has several HP printers, send us their model labels on WhatsApp and we will tell you which ones take it.
Why do I need to replace the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge if I rarely print yellow?
You need the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge because the printer mixes yellow into almost every colour, not just yellow text. Greens are cyan plus yellow, reds and oranges are magenta plus yellow, and skin tones rely on it heavily. When yellow runs out, photographs look cold and greens drift towards blue. The printer's panel flags yellow as low before it is fully empty, which gives you time to order a replacement.
Does heat or coastal humidity affect the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
Heat and humidity can affect the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge if it is stored badly, so keep it sealed and cool until you install it. Damp air in Mombasa, Malindi or Kisumu can make toner clump, and a hot storeroom under a tin roof is worse than an air-conditioned office. Once installed, the cartridge is protected inside the printer. Offices at the coast should store spares indoors, off the floor, and avoid buying many months ahead.
Which buyers need the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge, and who can do without it?
Buyers who own an HP Color LaserJet CP3525 or CM3530 and print photographs, menus, certificates or green-heavy charts need the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge regularly. Hotels, schools and print bureaus fall into this group. Offices that print mostly black text with an occasional coloured logo can wait until the printer flags yellow low. Anyone with a different printer should do without it, since it will not fit, and ask us for the right cartridge instead.
How do I install the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge in my printer?
Installing the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge takes a few minutes and needs no tools. Open the printer's front door, pull out the old yellow cartridge, and set it on a sheet of scrap paper. Unpack the new one, rock it gently from side to side to spread the toner, and remove all packing material. Slide it into the yellow slot until it seats firmly, then close the door. The control panel should then recognise the new cartridge.
Can I confirm the install-by date on the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge before I pay?
Yes, you can ask Mascom International on WhatsApp to confirm the install-by date on the HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge before you pay. Message +254 708 852 521 and we will check the carton and reply with the details. This matters most when you are buying a spare to keep on the shelf, or ordering for an office outside Nairobi. You can also check the carton yourself at our Kimathi Street counter before handing over any money.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Rated at about 7,000 pages to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard, the same test HP applies to the cyan cartridge in this set.
- Yield is based on mixed sample pages; photo-heavy menus and posters use yellow faster and will finish below the rating.
- ColorSphere toner keeps yellows clean and bright, so greens and oranges print true instead of looking muddy or brown.
- Accurate yellow keeps skin tones natural in printed photographs, staff ID cards, graduation programmes and event brochures.
- The control panel warns when yellow runs low, so a colour job is not spoiled by a cartridge that fades halfway through.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet CP3525n — takes this yellow cartridge in its own dedicated slot, alongside the black, cyan and magenta cartridges.
- HP Color LaserJet CP3525dn — the duplex model for two-sided printing, using the same CE252A yellow as the rest of the series.
- HP Color LaserJet CP3525x — the larger-capacity configuration with an added paper tray, which also runs on CE252A.
- HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP and CM3530fs MFP — colour copiers and scanners in one machine that print with the 504A set.
- Incompatible with inkjet printers, the CP3505 and the Color LaserJet Pro line, all of which need different cartridges.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Made by HP as an original LaserJet print cartridge, with HP's anti-counterfeit security label printed on the outer carton.
- Yellow is the third process colour; together with cyan and magenta it builds the full range of colours on the page.
- ColorSphere is HP's toner formula for colour lasers, made to fuse onto paper evenly for smooth gradients in photographs.
- As a dry toner cartridge, it cannot dry out like inkjet ink, which suits printers that stand idle for weeks at a time.
- Its toner status reports to the printer, so remaining yellow shows on the control panel and on the printer's built-in web page.
Running Cost
- KSh 14,500 divided by 7,000 rated pages gives about KSh 2.07 per page in yellow toner.
- A batch of 200 colour certificates uses roughly KSh 414 in yellow toner at the rated page coverage.
- At 60 colour pages a day, one cartridge covers about 117 working days, a little over five months of printing.
- Across a year of about 250 working days at that pace, plan on a little over two yellow cartridges, about KSh 31,000.
- This figure excludes paper, electricity and the other three toners that a full-colour page also draws on.
Inclusions
- One HP 504A Yellow Toner Cartridge, part number CE252A, in its sealed protective pouch.
- HP's own printed carton, with the security label you can inspect closely before payment.
- Proof of purchase from Mascom International, needed if you ever lodge a warranty claim.
- Six months of cover against manufacturing defects, with claims taken at our Nairobi CBD desk.
- WhatsApp support for installation steps and for checking the install-by date ahead of purchase.
