Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice

The HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge (CF210A) is available at Mascom International for KSh 13,500, rated by HP at 1,600 standard pages and in stock today. It is an original HP LaserJet cartridge, brand new and sealed, made for the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 and MFP M276 series. Each HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge is tested to the ISO/IEC 19798 yield standard, so the page figure on the box is measured the same way across HP colour LaserJet supplies. Buyers can collect it from our shop on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.

Designed for accountants, lawyers, school bursars and small office teams, the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge handles the work that keeps a business running: invoices, payslips, contracts, KRA returns and delivery notes. The common problem is a black cartridge that fades halfway through a month-end print run, leaving grey, patchy text that clients notice. Original HP toner is made for the M251 and M276 print engines, so letters stay solid and dark from early pages to late ones. For offices in Westlands or Upper Hill that print every day, a spare HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge on the shelf means no lost afternoon.

Where many Nairobi electronics shops sell unmarked or refilled toner as original, Mascom International stocks only sealed HP supplies with the box labels intact. Customers across Nairobi tell us they switched after refilled cartridges leaked powder inside their printers and cost them a service call. At KSh 13,500, the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge works out to about KSh 8.44 per page at the rated yield, a figure you can plan a budget around. Walk into the Kimathi Street store to collect one today, or order on WhatsApp and pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya.

Common Questions About the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge

How much is the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge CF210A in Kenya?
The HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge CF210A costs KSh 13,500 as a sealed original HP unit at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the cartridge in its HP box, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The black unit costs KSh 2,000 less than each of the cyan, magenta and yellow 131A cartridges, which sell at KSh 15,500. A full set of all four colours comes to KSh 60,000 if you are replacing everything at once.

Which printers does the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge fit?
The HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge fits the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 series and the LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 series. That covers the M251n and M251nw single-function printers and the M276n and M276nw multifunction models that also scan and copy. It will not fit other LaserJet families, even ones that look similar on a shelf. Check the model label on your printer, or send a photo to Mascom International on WhatsApp before ordering, and we will confirm the match.

How many pages does the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge print, and what does each page cost?
HP rates the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge at 1,600 standard pages, measured under the ISO/IEC 19798 test. At KSh 13,500, that works out to about KSh 8.44 per page, or roughly KSh 844 for every 100 pages. Real results move with what you print: short letters use less toner than full-page tables, logos or scanned images. An office printing 80 pages a week would get about 20 weeks from one cartridge at the rated figure, which makes reordering easy to plan.

Should I buy the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge or the higher-yield HP 131X black?
The HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge suits moderate printing at a lower upfront cost, while the HP 131X black suits heavy weekly printing. Both fit the same M251 and M276 printers. The 131X holds more toner, so it prints more pages per cartridge and needs changing less often, but it costs more to buy. Small offices, schools and home users usually do well with the 131A. Busy accounts or legal teams printing long reports daily can ask Mascom International about the 131X on WhatsApp.

How can I tell the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge is genuine HP stock?
A genuine HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge comes in a sealed HP box carrying the part number CF210A and the UPC barcode 886111334957. Mascom International sells toner only in its original packaging and never refills or repackages cartridges. Check that the box seal is unbroken when you receive it, and refuse any unit with torn tape or a reused carton. Once installed, the printer's supplies status page lists the cartridge details, which gives you a second check at your own desk.

Can I pay by M-Pesa and get the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge delivered outside Nairobi?
Yes, you can order the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge from anywhere in Kenya and pay on arrival, including by M-Pesa. Nairobi and its environs get same-day delivery, while towns such as Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret and Mombasa receive it within 1 business day. Paying when the cartridge is in your hands means you inspect the sealed box first. Walk-in buyers at our Kimathi Street store can also pay by Lipa na M-Pesa at the counter and leave with the cartridge in minutes.

Is the black text from the HP 131A sharp enough for contracts and tax documents?
Yes, the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge produces dark, solid text suited to contracts, invoices, KRA returns and eCitizen printouts. Original HP toner is made for the print engines in the M251 and M276, so characters keep clean edges rather than blurring or flaking. That matters when a document will be signed, stamped, scanned or photocopied later. HP describes the output as business quality on a range of laser papers. If text turns grey or streaked well before 1,600 pages, bring the cartridge in under warranty.

Who should buy the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge if you own an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 or M276 and want dependable black printing without refill risks. It suits small offices, schools, churches, clinics and home businesses printing up to a few hundred pages a week. Skip it if your printer is a different model, since it will not fit. Skip it too if you print thousands of pages a month; a higher-yield cartridge or a larger mono LaserJet is likely to cost less per page over a year.

Technical Specifications

Page Yield and Print Quality
  • Rated yield of 1,600 standard pages, enough for about 20 weeks in an office printing 80 pages a week.
  • Yield is measured under ISO/IEC 19798, the shared industry test, so figures compare fairly between cartridge brands.
  • Real page counts vary with coverage: a one-page letter uses far less toner than a full spreadsheet or photo, so text-heavy offices tend to land closer to the rating.
  • Black toner gives dark, solid text with clean edges, which suits contracts, receipts, payslips and signed forms.
  • HP rates the output as business quality across a range of laser papers, including ordinary office copier paper.

Printer Compatibility
  • Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 series, the single-function colour printer found in many small offices.
  • Works in the M251n network model and the M251nw, which adds Wi-Fi printing from laptops and phones.
  • Fits the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 series, the multifunction version that prints, scans and copies.
  • Covers the M276n and M276nw, so one part number serves both versions across a mixed office fleet.
  • Fills the black slot only; these printers take four separate cartridges, one each for black, cyan, magenta and yellow, and each is replaced on its own when it runs low.

Cartridge Build and Technology
  • Original HP LaserJet toner cartridge, part number CF210A, the code to quote when reordering or checking stock.
  • Arrives sealed in HP retail packaging with UPC 886111334957 printed on the box for quick verification.
  • HP lists the packed cartridge at 365 x 100 x 110 mm and 0.8 kg, small enough to keep a spare in a desk drawer or supply cupboard without taking over the office.
  • Installs by hand with no tools; remove the packing materials as the box instructs before sliding it in, and the printer is ready again within a few moments.
  • Eligible for return through the HP Planet Partners recycling programme, which runs in more than 50 countries, availability varying.

Running Cost
  • KSh 13,500 divided by HP's 1,600-page rating comes to about KSh 8.44 for each standard page.
  • That equals roughly KSh 844 per 100 pages, a handy number when budgeting a school term or a quarter of office printing, or when pricing printing services for clients.
  • Sits KSh 2,000 below each colour 131A cartridge, which sell at KSh 15,500 for 1,800 rated pages.
  • A full set of four 131A cartridges costs KSh 60,000 when a printer needs every colour replaced together.
  • Original toner avoids the hidden costs of leaking refills, such as cleaning, jammed rollers and technician call-outs, which can quickly wipe out the savings a cheaper refill seemed to offer.

Inclusions
  • One HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge, part number CF210A, sealed in its HP retail box exactly as shipped.
  • A 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, handled at the Nairobi CBD service desk.
  • A fit check before dispatch: send your printer model on WhatsApp and our staff confirm it matches.
  • Pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you see the sealed box before any money changes hands.
  • Walk-in collection from Kimathi Street, where you can compare the box label against your old cartridge and ask our staff any setup questions before leaving.

Package Contents

The HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge ships as a single sealed HP retail box holding one CF210A black cartridge, ready for an M251 or M276. Mascom International does not open, refill or repackage toner, so the seal you break is the one HP applied. No cables, paper or printer parts come with it, since the cartridge is a supply item. Keep the empty box after fitting: it gives you a clean way to store the used cartridge until you send it for recycling.

Warranty

Mascom International backs the HP 131A Black Toner Cartridge with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the cartridge fails because of a fault in the unit itself, bring it with your receipt to our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street, where claims are assessed and handled.
