HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 81,000, available at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This brand new and sealed A4 colour laser multifunction unit prints, copies, scans, and faxes at up to 25 pages per minute in both black and colour. It carries a 50-sheet single-pass two-sided document feeder, a 250-sheet main tray, a 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, dual-band Wi-Fi, and Gigabit Ethernet. The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw is rated for up to 40,000 pages a month.
Mascom International stocks the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw for teams of three to ten people who print daily and cannot wait on one slow shared machine. Law firms around Milimani, audit and tax practices filing KRA returns, SACCO branch offices, private clinics, schools, and county offices all face the same problem. One device must produce colour proposals, black text contracts, scanned client files, and the occasional fax. The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw covers all four jobs in a 17.1 kg body measuring 418 by 419 by 341 mm.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who list printers without stating running costs, Mascom International publishes cartridge yields upfront. The HP 222X high-yield black cartridge covers roughly 3,200 pages, and each high-yield colour cartridge covers about 2,500. Users consistently report that first pages land in under 11 seconds from ready state, which matters when a client is waiting at the counter. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand for colour laser units among Nairobi practices moving off inkjet machines that dry out between jobs. Test the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw at our Kimathi Street counter before you buy.
Common Questions About the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw
How fast does this printer actually work in a busy office?
It prints up to 25 pages per minute in colour and 25 in black on A4, with the first black page landing in about 10.9 seconds from ready state. Two-sided output runs at up to 15 images per minute. Warm-up from cold takes roughly 55 seconds. For a ten-person team producing invoices, contracts, and proposals, a 20-page report clears the tray in under a minute. The monthly duty cycle reaches 40,000 pages, far above what most Kenyan offices ever demand.
What does printing cost per page once the starter toner runs out?
Running cost depends on which cartridge line you buy. The HP 222A black cartridge yields about 1,300 pages and each colour about 1,200. The 222X high-yield black covers roughly 3,200 pages and each high-yield colour about 2,500. At Kenyan toner prices, the high-yield set brings the cost per black page down sharply against the standard set. Mascom International stocks both lines, so you can run 222X for volume months and 222A for lighter seasonal work.
Does it scan both sides of a document in one pass?
Yes. The 50-sheet document feeder captures front and back in a single pass at up to 34 images per minute in black and 16 in colour. You load a stack once and never flip pages. The flatbed glass handles bound books and ID cards separately at up to 1200 dpi. For law firms and audit teams digitising client files, single-pass two-sided scanning cuts a 50-page file down to a few minutes of work.
Will it connect to our office Wi-Fi and to staff phones?
It carries dual-band Wi-Fi covering 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, Wi-Fi Direct, Gigabit Ethernet, Hi-Speed USB, and a front USB port for walk-up printing. Staff print from iPhones through AirPrint and from Android through Mopria or the HP app. On a Safaricom or Zuku fibre router, the 5 GHz band keeps large PDF jobs off the crowded 2.4 GHz channel. Wired Gigabit Ethernet stays the steadiest option for a fixed desk position.
Do we still need a landline for the fax function?
Yes. The fax modem needs a working analogue telephone line plugged into one of the two RJ-11 ports. It transmits at up to 33.6 kbps, roughly three seconds per page, and holds up to 500 pages in memory if paper runs out. Many Kenyan offices no longer keep a landline and send documents through Mobile Fax with an HP account instead. If you never fax, that function simply sits unused while everything else works normally.
Can I use refilled or third-party toner in the 3303fdw?
We advise against it. This is a dynamic security enabled printer, so cartridges without an original HP chip may be blocked by firmware after an update. Refilled cartridges also leak fine toner powder inside the machine, and that dust is the most common cause of colour registration faults we see at our Kimathi Street service desk. Genuine HP 222A and 222X cartridges stay stocked at Mascom International, so a replacement never becomes an emergency.
How does it cope with Kenyan power supply and office conditions?
The unit runs on 220 to 240 volts at 50 Hz and draws 416 watts while printing, dropping to 7.6 watts idle and 0.95 watts asleep. Auto-on and auto-off cut standby waste in offices open twelve hours a day. Rated operating range is 15 to 30 degrees Celsius at 10 to 80 percent humidity, which covers Nairobi, Nakuru, Kisumu, and coastal Mombasa. Pair it with a UPS or surge protector, both stocked at Mascom International.
What paper sizes and weights can it handle?
The 250-sheet main tray and single-sheet priority slot accept A4, A5, A6, Legal, Letter, Executive, Folio, envelopes, labels, cardstock, and glossy stock. Paper weight runs from 60 to 163 gsm, rising to 176 gsm for postcards and 200 gsm for glossy sheets. Custom sizes span 76 by 127 mm up to 216 by 356 mm. The output tray holds 100 sheets. That covers letterheads, certificates, DL statement envelopes, and marketing flyers on one machine.
