HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 5,050, brand new and sealed in original HP packaging. The HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge holds 8.5ml of pigment-based yellow ink, rated by HP for about 825 A4 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 testing. That is two and a half times the page rating of the standard 933 yellow. It fits HP OfficeJet 6100, 6600, 6700, 7110, 7510, 7610, and 7612 printers. Get the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for photo studios, design agencies, schools, and NGOs that print colour every week, the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge cuts the cost of warm tones. Yellow feeds every green, orange, red, and skin tone your OfficeJet prints. Studios in Westlands printing client proofs, NGO teams in Kisumu printing field reports with maps, and schools printing colour certificates all burn through yellow quickly. The HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge brings that cost down to about KSh 6.12 per rated page, against roughly KSh 9.85 for the standard size. Fewer swaps also mean fewer stalled print jobs.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell only one yellow size, Mascom International stocks both and shows you the maths. The HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge costs KSh 1,800 more than the standard 933 yellow at KSh 3,250. For that extra, you get about 495 more pages, roughly KSh 3.64 per additional page. A studio printing 100 colour pages weekly recovers the difference in about five weeks. Our community of designers and school administrators consistently finds the XL easier to budget. Order by WhatsApp and pay on arrival across all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge
Which OfficeJet models use the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge?
The HP 933XL Yellow 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 same yellow slot as the standard HP 933 yellow. It will not fit printers designed for HP 951, HP 953, HP 963, or HP 305 cartridges. A WhatsApp photo of your printer's model label lets our team confirm the fit in minutes.
Why choose the 933XL yellow over the standard 933 yellow?
Choose the XL if you print colour weekly. The HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge costs KSh 5,050 for about 825 pages, roughly KSh 6.12 per page. The standard 933 yellow costs KSh 3,250 for about 330 pages, roughly KSh 9.85 per page. The extra KSh 1,800 buys about 495 more pages, which is roughly KSh 3.64 per additional page. Over a year, a design studio printing 400 colour pages monthly saves around KSh 17,900.
How does yellow affect photo quality?
Yellow shapes every warm tone in a photo. Skin, sunlight, grass, and wood all rely on it, mixed with magenta or cyan. When the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge runs low, portraits take on a cold, bluish cast and greens turn grey. Photographers printing proofs for weddings in Karen or events at the KICC notice this first. Check the ink levels page before any big photo run, and swap yellow when it reaches about 10 percent.
How many colour certificates can one cartridge print?
It depends on the design. HP rates the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge at about 825 pages of mixed business colour content. A school certificate with a gold border and coloured crest uses modest yellow, so a school could print several hundred before replacing it. Full-page yellow backgrounds consume far more. For end-of-term prize days or graduation ceremonies, keep a spare yellow on hand. Our team can help estimate needs from a sample design.
Does the XL yellow suit a printer used only occasionally?
Not always. If your OfficeJet prints colour only a few times a month, the standard HP 933 yellow at KSh 3,250 keeps less money tied up. Pigment ink sitting in a lightly used printer for many months can dry in the printhead nozzles. The HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge pays off when colour printing is regular. For quiet periods, print one colour test page every week or two to keep the ink moving.
Is this yellow cartridge an original HP product?
Yes. Mascom International sells the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge as original HP stock, part number CN056AE, sealed in its HP retail carton. We carry no refilled, remanufactured, or cloned 933XL cartridges. Original HP chips pass printer firmware checks, so updates do not trigger unknown-cartridge warnings. Our Kimathi Street counter staff will show you the security label, seal, and part number before you pay, and delivery buyers see the same details before paying the rider.
Can I pair the XL yellow with standard cyan and magenta?
Yes. Each colour sits in its own cartridge, so the printer reads every size independently. You can run the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge beside standard HP 933 cyan and magenta, or pair it with the XL versions. Many studios choose XL for the colour they use most. Keep all four slots filled, though, because HP OfficeJet 6000 and 7000 series printers stop printing when any cartridge is missing or empty.
What should I do if yellow streaks appear after installation?
First, confirm all protective tape came off the cartridge and that it clicked fully into place. Then run one printhead cleaning cycle from the printer's tools menu and print a test page. Streaks usually clear after one or two cycles. If they remain, bring the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge and receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk. Upcountry customers can send a photo of the test page by WhatsApp for guidance.
How quickly does delivery reach my town?
Buyers in Nairobi and its environs get the HP 933XL Yellow Ink Cartridge on the day they order. Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nyeri, Meru, and all other major towns receive it within one business day. Delivery covers every one of Kenya's 47 counties on pay-on-arrival terms. You check the sealed HP carton and part number before paying the rider, which protects studios and schools ordering ahead of busy print weeks.
Technical Specifications
Ink Formula and Colour Output
- Pigment-based yellow ink, as listed by HP, stays on the paper surface for crisp colour edges.
- HP lists a 7 picolitre drop size, giving smooth warm gradients in portraits and landscapes.
- Yellow blends with magenta for reds and oranges, and with cyan for natural greens.
- Accurate yellow keeps skin tones warm in wedding proofs, staff ID cards, and event photos.
- Printed pages dry quickly, so certificates and brochures can be stacked soon after printing.
- HP Thermal Inkjet technology fires yellow through the printer's own printhead for steady tone 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, yellow costs roughly KSh 6.12 per rated page of mixed business colour content.
- Cost per millilitre lands near KSh 594, against about KSh 929 for the standard 933 yellow.
- The extra KSh 1,800 over the standard size buys about 495 more pages of rated output.
- Each additional page costs roughly KSh 3.64, the clearest measure of the XL's upgrade value.
- Offices printing 400 colour pages monthly save roughly KSh 17,900 a year compared with standard yellow.
Printer Compatibility

- Works in the HP OfficeJet 6600 and 6700 e-All-in-One, common in schools and NGO offices.
- Compatible with the HP OfficeJet 7110 Wide Format ePrinter for A3 proofs, maps, and posters.
- Also fits the OfficeJet 7510, 7610, and 7612 wide-format printers used by architects and designers.

- Will not fit printers designed for HP 951, HP 953, HP 963, or HP 305 cartridges.
Physical Build and Chip
- HP part number CN056AE marks the Europe, Middle East, and Africa version supplied to Kenyan buyers.
- The cartridge measures about 94 by 126 by 24 mm, the standard HP 933XL colour footprint.
- It weighs roughly 30 grams unpacked and about 50 grams in its sealed HP carton.
- An HP chip reports yellow levels, so the printer's control panel gauge stays accurate.
- Original HP chips pass firmware checks, avoiding blocked-cartridge alerts after automatic printer updates.
- The cartridge holds ink only, since the printhead remains installed inside the printer.
Operating and Storage Conditions
- HP rates operation from 5 to 35 degrees Celsius, matching studio conditions in Westlands and Kilimani.
- Operating humidity from 10 to 90 percent covers humid Mombasa and Kisumu offices comfortably.
- Sealed storage tolerates -40 to 60 degrees Celsius, so transit along the Nairobi-Mombasa corridor poses little risk.
- Keep spares indoors and shaded, since direct sun on a parked car is the main danger.
- Install within a day of removing the seal to keep the ink outlet from drying.
Installation and Colour Care
- Open the access door and wait for the carriage to stop before removing the old yellow.
- Press the new cartridge into the yellow slot until it clicks, then close the door.
- The printer reads the chip automatically and refreshes the yellow gauge within seconds.
- All four cartridges must stay installed, because HP OfficeJet 6000 and 7000 series printers stop otherwise.
- Print a colour test page every week or two during slow periods to keep nozzles clear.
- Power off with the printer's own button so the printhead parks and seals before unplugging.
