Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 3,500, as a compatible replacement for the HP W2411A cartridge in the HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series. Lightwave, an independent third-party maker, produces it, so this is not an HP supply, and each one we sell is brand new and sealed. For planning, HP rates its own W2411A at about 850 pages. Black, magenta and yellow are carried as separate products, and buying all four colours comes to KSh 14,000. Pick up the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner at our shop, First Floor, Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street in Nairobi CBD.
Designed for marketing teams, church administrators, estate agents and small print shops across Kenya, the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner supplies the blue in every colour page your HP prints. Cyan forms skies, water, corporate logos and most bar charts, and it mixes with yellow to make greens. Offices whose brand colours lean towards blue, such as banks, clinics and SACCOs, often empty cyan before the other colours. When that happens, the printer warns, then refuses colour jobs, even though three cartridges still hold toner. Fitting one Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner gets the printer working again for KSh 3,500 instead of the cost of a full set.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock unlabelled cartridges with no maker named, Mascom International states the maker, marks the box as compatible and gives you a written warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that they want to know what they are fitting before they pay, and the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner is sold on exactly those terms. Photograph the label on your empty cyan cartridge and send it on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the match within minutes. Nairobi orders arrive the same day, so a Westlands agency can finish its brochure run before the weekend with the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner.
Common Questions About the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner
How much is the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner in Kenya?
The Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner costs KSh 3,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. You get one sealed cyan cartridge, a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. Black, magenta and yellow are separate products at Mascom International, each also KSh 3,500, so the full four-colour set comes to KSh 14,000. If only cyan is low, you spend KSh 3,500 and keep using the three cartridges that still have toner.
Will the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner fit my HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 printer?
Yes, the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner is shaped for the cyan slot of HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series printers. It replaces the HP W2411A, so look for that code on the label of the cartridge you are removing. A printer from another HP series may look similar but take a different family, such as HP 230A or 203A. Mascom International checks your model number on WhatsApp before you pay, so you do not end up with a cartridge that will not seat.
Why does my HP colour printer stop printing when only cyan is empty?
An HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series printer needs all four cartridges to build a colour page, so an empty cyan blocks colour jobs. Each page is made of layers, and the printer will not run a layer it cannot supply. Some models let you continue in black for a short time, but colour flyers and charts stay on hold. Fitting a Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner restores colour printing at once, without replacing the black, magenta or yellow already inside.
Is the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner worth it over the original HP W2411A?
The Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner is worth it if price matters more to you than the HP name on the box. The HP W2411A comes from HP itself, while Lightwave makes a compatible cartridge for the same slot at a lower price. HP publishes about 850 pages for its own cyan, but Lightwave publishes no independent figure, so we promise none. Brand teams that need exact HP colour profiles should stay with HP; everyday flyers and charts print well on Lightwave.
Which colour cartridge runs out first in an office HP printer?
In most offices black empties first, but cyan is often the first colour to run low on an HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series printer. Blue logos, letterheads, charts and highlighted tables all draw on cyan, and greens use it too. Companies in Kenya with blue branding, such as many banks and clinics, see this pattern clearly. Keep one Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner on the shelf if your printed material uses a lot of blue.
Will heat, dust or KPLC power cuts damage the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner?
A KPLC outage does not harm the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner, though a page caught mid-print should be pulled out before you restart the printer. Heat is the bigger risk while a cartridge waits in storage, because warm toner powder can clump. Keep spares sealed, flat and away from sunny windows or a parked car in Nairobi traffic. Dust from busy roads in Industrial Area or Ngara settles inside printers, so cover the machine at night.
Can I use the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner for school projects and presentations?
Yes, the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner handles the coloured pages students and teachers print most: maps, diagrams, science charts and presentation handouts. Students at Kenyatta University and Moi University often print colour project reports at campus print shops that run M155 series printers. A shop owner who replaces only cyan when it runs low keeps the price per page steady for students. Toner leaves pages dry and smudge-proof, so reports can be bound right away.
Who is the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner right for, and who should choose something else?
The Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner is right for owners of HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series printers who buy their own supplies and print flyers, charts and logos. It is not for printers covered by an HP managed print contract that demands original cartridges; choose the HP W2411A there. Design studios proofing exact brand colours for clients should also stay with HP. Owners of printers that take HP 230A or 203A need a different family.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Colour Role
- Cyan laser toner cartridge from Lightwave — a third-party compatible part, never sold or made by HP itself.
- Cyan is the blue base colour in print — skies, water, logos and most coloured charts start from it.
- Blends with yellow to form greens — so leafy photos, maps and green brand colours draw on this cartridge too.
- Blends with magenta to form purples and deep blues — used in church posters, event tickets and school banners.
- HP rates its own W2411A at about 850 pages — a planning guide only, not a figure promised for Lightwave.
- Toner is fused onto paper with heat — colour pages leave the tray dry, so handouts can be stacked at once.
- Sealed from the factory and never refilled — the cartridge reaches you unopened, in its own wrap.
Compatibility and Mixing
- Replaces the HP W2411A — the cyan cartridge of HP's 216A family, printed clearly on the old cartridge label.
- Built for the HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 series — confirm any other model with our team on WhatsApp first.
- Sits beside HP or Lightwave black, magenta and yellow — you can mix a compatible cyan with originals already fitted.
- Fits the cyan position only — black, magenta and yellow each have their own slot and their own cartridge.
- Shades may differ slightly from an HP cyan — fine for flyers and charts, less suited to exact brand proofs.
- Does not fit printers built for HP 230A or HP 203A — those use a differently shaped cartridge.
Build and Care
- Matches the HP 216A body shape — it slides into the cyan slot and locks without any adapter or tool.
- Arrives wrapped and sealed — moisture and dust stay out until you are ready to fit it.
- Shake gently from side to side before fitting — even toner spread gives clean colour from page one.
- Keep spares in a cool cupboard rather than on a sunny shelf — heat causes toner powder to clump.
- Hold it by the body, not the drum surface — fingerprints on that surface can leave marks on pages.
Inclusions and Ordering
- One Lightwave cyan toner cartridge — no cable, tool or other part is packed with it.
- Black, magenta and yellow sold as separate products at KSh 3,500 each — KSh 14,000 for all four.
- 6-month warranty through Mascom International — covering manufacturing defects in the cartridge.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties — pay by M-Pesa or cash once the box reaches you.
- Free code check before you buy — send a photo of the empty cyan cartridge on WhatsApp.
Package Contents
The box holds a single Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner cartridge in its sealed protective wrap. Mascom International packs no cable, tool or extra cartridge with it. If you want the matching black, magenta or yellow, each arrives in its own box as a separate product. Hold on to the empty box once the cartridge is fitted: the W2411A code on its side saves time when you reorder, and the box makes a tidy place for the spent cartridge.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Lightwave 216A Cyan Toner with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the cartridge does not print correctly because of a fault in its making, bring it and your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk at the Old Mutual Building, where the claim is handled.
