HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge is available now at Mascom International for KSh 5,050, brand new and sealed in original HP packaging. The HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge holds 8.5ml of pigment-based magenta ink, rated by HP for about 825 A4 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 testing. It fits HP OfficeJet 6100, 6600, 6700, 7110, 7510, 7610, and 7612 printers. Collect the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered to any county with payment on arrival.
Designed for print shops, event planners, restaurants, and marketing teams in Kenya, the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge controls every red, pink, and warm tone your OfficeJet produces. Magenta mixes with yellow to make reds and oranges, and with cyan to make purples. When it runs low, red logos turn orange and skin tones in photos look washed out. A salon owner in Kilimani printing price lists, or a wedding planner in Karen printing seating charts, notices that shift immediately, often after just a few pages. The HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge keeps those colours accurate for about 825 pages.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock refilled magenta with unpredictable tone, Mascom International sells the original HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge only. At KSh 5,050 for about 825 pages, magenta costs close to KSh 6.12 per rated page. Standard 933 colour at our store runs near KSh 9.85 per page, so the high-yield size saves roughly 38 percent. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us original HP magenta keeps brand reds consistent from the first flyer to the last. Order by WhatsApp or walk in to Kimathi Street today, and Nairobi orders arrive the same day.
Common Questions About the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge
Does the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge fit my OfficeJet?
The HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge fits the HP OfficeJet 6100 ePrinter, 6600 e-All-in-One, 6700 e-All-in-One, 7110 Wide Format ePrinter, 7510 Wide Format All-in-One, 7610 Wide Format e-All-in-One, and 7612. It goes into the magenta slot, which the standard HP 933 magenta also uses. It will not fit printers built for HP 951, HP 953, HP 963, or HP 305 cartridges. Share a photo of your printer label on WhatsApp and our team confirms the fit within minutes.
Why do my red logos print orange?
Orange reds usually mean magenta is running low or a magenta nozzle is partly blocked. Your printer builds red by layering magenta over yellow, so less magenta leaves the yellow showing through. Check the ink level page first. If the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge still shows ink, run one printhead cleaning cycle and print a test page. If reds stay orange after that, replace the cartridge. Our team can review a photo of the printout over WhatsApp.
How many A3 posters can one magenta cartridge print?
It depends on the design. HP rates the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge at about 825 A4 pages of mixed business content. An A3 poster covers twice that area, and bold red designs use much more magenta than a test page. A red-heavy A3 event poster might use ink equal to eight or ten standard pages. So one cartridge could cover roughly 80 to 100 such posters. Text-heavy flyers with a red header stretch much further.
Is the high-yield magenta worth KSh 5,050?
For anyone printing colour weekly, yes. At KSh 5,050 for about 825 pages, the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge costs roughly KSh 6.12 per rated page. Standard 933 colour at Mascom International sits near KSh 9.85 per page, based on the yellow at KSh 3,250 for 330 pages. The XL size saves around 38 percent per page. A restaurant reprinting 200 colour menus each quarter recovers that difference within the first few runs.
Will a refilled magenta cartridge damage my printer?
It can. The printhead in HP OfficeJet 6000 and 7000 series printers is a separate, costly part that stays inside the machine. Refilled cartridges sometimes carry ink with the wrong thickness or trapped air, which can block nozzles or leak onto the carriage. Replacing that printhead often costs more than several original cartridges. The HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge uses the ink HP matched to that printhead, protecting the most expensive part of your printer.
How do I check how much magenta is left?
Open the ink levels screen on your printer's control panel, usually under Setup or the ink drop icon. Each of the four cartridges shows its own gauge. You can also print a printer status report, which lists levels and part numbers. When the magenta gauge reaches roughly 10 percent, order the next HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge. Nairobi orders arrive the same day, so you avoid stopping mid-job on an event deadline.
Can I install a new magenta while other colours are half full?
Yes. Each colour sits in its own cartridge, so replacing the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge leaves cyan, yellow, and black untouched. This is cheaper than tri-colour printers, where one empty colour forces you to replace all three. Remember that all four slots must hold working cartridges for the printer to print anything, including black text. Many offices keep one spare of each colour so a single empty cartridge never stalls work.
Is the magenta cartridge sold here original HP?
Yes. Mascom International sells the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge as original HP stock, part number CN055AE, sealed in its HP retail carton. We do not stock refilled, remanufactured, or cloned versions. Original HP chips work with HP firmware updates, so the printer does not flag the cartridge as unknown. At our Kimathi Street counter you can check the seal, HP security label, and part number before paying anything.
How fast does delivery reach towns outside Nairobi?
Nairobi and its environs receive the HP 933XL Magenta Ink Cartridge on the same day. Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika, Machakos, and every other major town receive it within one business day. Delivery covers all 47 counties with pay-on-arrival terms. You open the package, check the sealed HP carton and part number, and only then pay the rider. Print shops in Nyeri and Meru restock this way before graduation and election-season rushes.
Technical Specifications

- Pigment-based magenta ink, as listed by HP, holds colour on the paper surface for crisp red text.
- HP lists a 7 picolitre drop size, giving smooth pink and red gradients on flyers and photos.
- Magenta layers with yellow to make reds and oranges, and with cyan to make purples.
- Accurate magenta keeps skin tones natural in staff ID photos and event programme portraits.
- Printed pages dry quickly, so double-sided menus and brochures can be handled soon after printing.
- HP Thermal Inkjet technology fires magenta through the printer's own printhead for steady colour between pages.
Page Yield and Running Cost
- About 825 A4 pages per cartridge, rated by HP under the ISO/IEC 24711 inkjet yield standard.
- At KSh 5,050, magenta costs roughly KSh 6.12 per rated page of mixed business content.
- Cost per millilitre lands near KSh 594, based on the 8.5ml fill HP lists for this cartridge.
- High-yield magenta saves around 38 percent per page against standard 933 pricing at Mascom International.
- Red-heavy A3 posters may use ink equal to eight or ten standard pages each.
- Offices printing only red logos on letters can go months between magenta replacements.
Printer Compatibility
- Fits the HP OfficeJet 6100 ePrinter used on shop counters and small reception desks.
- Works in the HP OfficeJet 6600 and 6700 e-All-in-One, popular with salons, clinics, and schools.
- Compatible with the HP OfficeJet 7110 Wide Format ePrinter for A3 posters and banners in sections.
- Also fits the OfficeJet 7510, 7610, and 7612 wide-format models found in print and design shops.
- Uses the same magenta slot as the standard HP 933 magenta, so either size fits.
- Not compatible with printers built for HP 951, HP 953, HP 963, or HP 305 cartridges.
Physical Build and Chip
- HP part number CN055AE identifies the Europe, Middle East, and Africa version sold into Kenya.
- The cartridge measures about 94 by 126 by 24 mm and fits the narrow colour slot.
- It weighs roughly 30 grams unpacked and about 50 grams inside its sealed HP carton.
- An HP chip reports magenta levels to the printer, keeping the control panel gauge accurate.
- Original HP chips pass firmware checks, so automatic updates do not block the cartridge.
- The cartridge carries ink only, since the printhead remains installed inside the printer.
Operating and Storage Conditions
- HP rates operation between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius, suited to shops in Nairobi, Nakuru, and Nyeri.
- Operating humidity from 10 to 90 percent covers rainy seasons and humid coastal towns like Diani.
- Sealed storage tolerates -40 to 60 degrees Celsius, so long transport routes pose little risk.
- Store spares in a shaded cabinet, away from windows and vehicle dashboards in hot weather.
- Install within a day of removing the seal so the ink outlet stays moist and flowing.
Installation and Colour Care
- Open the access door, wait for the carriage to stop, then press magenta into its labelled slot.
- The printer reads the new chip automatically and refreshes the magenta gauge within seconds.
- Keep all four cartridges installed, because HP OfficeJet 6000 and 7000 series printers stop otherwise.
- Print a colour page every week or two to keep magenta nozzles clear during slow periods.
- Run printhead cleaning only when reds streak or fade, since each cycle draws ink from all cartridges.
- Power off with the printer's own button so the printhead parks and seals before switching off the socket.
