The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 prints true A3 pages at up to 22 per minute and costs KSh 41,000 at Mascom International. Our store sits at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This is a brand new, sealed unit carrying HP part number 53N94C. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 combines printing, copying, and scanning in one 14.6 kg machine measuring 581 by 445 by 306 mm. It draws paper from a 250-sheet tray, prints on both sides automatically, and is controlled through a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen. Colour output reaches 18 pages per minute.
Architects, quantity surveyors, and construction consultancies across Upper Hill and Westlands lose hours every week walking A3 drawings to a CBD print bureau. Schools printing exam charts, marketing teams laying out posters, and design studios proofing artwork face the same trip. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 ends it. Borderless A3 output at up to 4800 by 1200 dpi colour resolution keeps site drawings, floor plans, and mock-ups on your own desk. HP rates the OfficeJet 9700 series as the first wide format printers covering the Display P3 colour gamut, so proofs match what your screen showed.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International sells the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 with the specification sheet open. Customers throughout Kenya tell us outside colour A3 work in the CBD runs well past KSh 100 a page. At roughly 1,500 pages a month, the recommended volume for this machine, the arithmetic turns quickly. At Mascom International, we are seeing small practices buy the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 to replace both a desktop A4 unit and a monthly bureau bill. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to run a test A3 page, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720
Can the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 print a full A3 page without borders?
Yes. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 prints borderless up to A3 and 11 by 17 inches, edge to edge with no white margin. The 250-sheet tray accepts A3, A4, A5, A6, B5, DL and C5 envelopes, and Hagaki cards. Custom sizes run from 76 by 127 mm up to 297 by 420 mm. Recommended paper weight sits between 60 and 105 gsm, though the feed path handles 34 to 250 gsm for card stock and brochure paper. That range covers most Nairobi stationery stock.
How fast is the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 for a busy team?
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 rates 22 pages per minute in black and 18 in colour under ISO testing. Draft mode lifts both to 34 pages per minute for internal copies nobody frames. First page out takes 12 seconds in black and 13 in colour from ready state. Automatic two-sided printing halves paper use on long reports. Monthly duty cycle reaches 30,000 pages, with HP recommending 250 to 1,500 pages a month for steady service life. Copying runs at 18 pages per minute in black.
Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 scan and copy A3 documents as well?
No, and this matters before you buy. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 prints up to A3, but the flatbed and 35-sheet automatic document feeder both top out at 216 by 356 mm, which is legal size. You can scan and copy A4 and legal originals at 1200 dpi optical resolution, then enlarge from 25 to 400 percent onto A3 paper. Full A3 scanning needs a separate wide format scanner. Most architectural offices we supply print A3 and scan A4, so this suits them.
Which ink cartridges does the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 use in Kenya?
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 uses four separate HP 936 cartridges in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Standard HP 936 black yields around 1,250 pages, and each colour yields roughly 800. HP 936e EvoMore versions push black to about 2,500 pages and each colour to about 1,650. Replacing one colour at a time costs less than swapping a combined tri-colour cartridge. Mascom International stocks HP 936 replacements, and the printer accepts only cartridges carrying a new or reused HP chip. Chipless third-party cartridges get blocked.
Is the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 worth KSh 41,000 against bureau printing?
Run the numbers on your own volume. Customers across Nairobi report colour A3 bureau work above KSh 100 a page, plus transport and waiting time. Forty A3 colour pages a month at that rate clears KSh 4,000, so the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 pays for itself inside a year on volume alone. Add the A4 printing, copying, and scanning you stop outsourcing and the period shortens. Practices printing under ten A3 pages monthly should stay with a bureau. We will tell you that honestly at the counter.
How many people can share the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 on one network?
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 connects by 10/100 Ethernet, dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0. A ten-person studio on one router shares it without a print server. Wi-Fi Direct lets a visiting consultant print without joining your office network at all. Apple AirPrint, Mopria certification, Chrome OS support, and the HP app cover phones and tablets. Windows 11, Windows 10, macOS 11 through 14, and Linux drivers are published by HP. Bluetooth Low Energy handles the initial setup handshake.
Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 handle Kenyan power and coastal humidity?
Yes. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9720 accepts 100 to 240 volts at 50 or 60 hertz, matching Kenya Power's 240-volt supply directly with no step-down transformer. Rated operating range covers 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and 20 to 80 percent relative humidity, which spans Nairobi highland mornings and Mombasa coastal afternoons. Draw is 4.67 watts on standby and 1.17 watts asleep, so a small UPS carries it through short outages. Schedule On and Schedule Off timers cut idle consumption further.
Who should buy the HP OfficeJet Pro 9720?
Architectural practices, quantity surveyors, and interior designers printing floor plans lead the list. Marketing agencies in Westlands and Kilimani producing A3 posters and mock-ups follow closely. Schools and colleges printing wall charts, science diagrams, and oversized timetables get steady value. Small print shops in Nakuru, Kisumu, and Eldoret use it as an entry-level A3 colour unit. Offices printing only A4 letters should look at a cheaper OfficeJet instead, and our team will say so. Fax users need another machine, since analog fax is not supported.
