The HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge (CF212A) sells for KSh 15,500 at Mascom International, carries HP's 1,800-page rating and is ready for collection or dispatch now. Every unit we hold is brand new and sealed, an original HP LaserJet supply for the yellow slot of the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 and MFP M276 printers. Yellow rarely stands alone on a page, yet the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge feeds every green, orange, red and skin tone these printers produce. You can buy it over the counter at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.

Built for nursery and primary teachers, sign makers, farm cooperatives, tour operators and real estate agents across Kenya, the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge supports maps, safety notices, produce labels and colourful teaching aids. When yellow runs dry, the damage hides at first: greens turn bluish, oranges go pink and photos lose their warmth. Many offices replace the wrong cartridge before spotting the cause. Fitting an original yellow puts the balance right in one step. A dairy cooperative in Nakuru printing price boards, or a JKUAT lab producing coloured hazard signs, gets the shades it planned.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that cannot tell you where their toner came from, Mascom International sells the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge only in HP's own sealed carton. Customers across Nairobi tell us the yellow slot is the one they forget to stock, until a big print job shows the gap. At about KSh 8.61 per rated page, the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge costs the same to run as its cyan and magenta partners. Message us on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, or stop by the Kimathi Street store during opening hours.

Common Questions About the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge

What does the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge CF212A cost in Kenya?
The HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge CF212A costs KSh 15,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, supplied in HP's own sealed carton. Included in that price are our 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery throughout Kenya. Yellow is priced the same as the 131A cyan and magenta, and KSh 2,000 above the KSh 13,500 black. Order on WhatsApp and our staff will confirm stock and delivery timing during business hours.

Why does a yellow cartridge matter if I rarely print yellow pages?
A yellow cartridge matters because the printer mixes yellow into greens, oranges, reds and skin tones, so the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge works on almost every colour page. A green logo is cyan plus yellow; an orange heading is magenta plus yellow. When yellow is weak, those colours shift toward blue or pink while the page still looks mostly fine at a glance. That is why a low yellow cartridge often gets blamed on cyan or magenta. Check the supplies status page before replacing anything.

Does the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge cost more per page than the HP 131A Black?
Yes, slightly: the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge runs about KSh 8.61 per rated page, against about KSh 8.44 for the HP 131A Black. The yellow costs KSh 15,500 for 1,800 pages, while the black costs KSh 13,500 for 1,600 pages. The two do different jobs, so one cannot replace the other: black handles text, while yellow builds warm and green shades. Text-only offices spend most on black. Offices printing posters, maps or teaching aids should budget for yellow just as carefully.

Should I keep a spare HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge in the office?
Keeping one spare HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge makes sense if your office prints colour every week and cannot wait for a delivery mid-job. Leave it in the unopened carton, away from sunlight and the printer's warm exhaust, until the day you need it. If you print colour only now and then, skip the spare: Nairobi orders arrive the same day, and other major towns get theirs within 1 business day. Order the next one when the printer first reports yellow as low.

Does dust in places like Industrial Area affect the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
Dust does not get inside a sealed HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge, but it can build up inside the printer and spoil print quality over time. Offices in Industrial Area, along murram roads or near construction sites in towns like Machakos should keep the printer's doors closed and cover it overnight once cool. Wipe the outside with a dry cloth and avoid blowing dust into the cartridge bay. If faint marks appear on pages, our Kimathi Street staff can advise whether the cartridge or the printer is the cause.

Is it cheaper to replace one HP 131A colour at a time or all four together?
Replacing one HP 131A colour at a time usually costs less, because each cartridge empties at a different rate depending on what you print. A full set of all four costs KSh 60,000, while yellow alone is KSh 15,500. Swapping cartridges that still hold toner wastes money you have already spent. The exception is a printer that has stood unused for months, or one you are handing to another department with a full supply. For most users, replace only what the printer reports as low.

Can I collect the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge in Nairobi CBD and check it before paying?
Yes, you can collect the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge at Mascom International on Kimathi Street and inspect the sealed carton before you pay. Bring the old cartridge or a photo of the printer's model label so our staff can match the part number CF212A against it. Payment works by cash or Lipa na M-Pesa at the counter. Buyers in Kiambu, Ruiru or Athi River who prefer not to travel can order delivery and still pay only when the carton reaches them.

Who is the HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge for, and who can skip it?
The HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge is for owners of an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 or M276 whose colour prints look too blue, too pink or too cold. Schools, sign makers, tour operators and agencies printing maps or bright teaching material use yellow the most. You can skip it if your printer is any other model, since it will not fit, or if the printer still reports healthy yellow levels. If text quality is your only concern, the black 131A is the cartridge to look at.

Technical Specifications

Yield and Colour Quality
  • HP rates the yellow cartridge at 1,800 standard pages, a figure shared with the cyan and magenta cartridges of the 131A range.
  • That rating comes from ISO/IEC 19798 testing, a common international procedure, so yields from different suppliers can be lined up fairly.
  • Pages with wide areas of yellow, green or orange draw more toner, so maps and posters finish short of the rated total.
  • Yellow combines with cyan for greens and with magenta for oranges and reds, so it touches nearly every colour graphic you print.
  • HP describes the colour output as business quality on a range of laser papers, which covers the standard office sheets bought by the ream.

Supported LaserJet Printers
  • Built for the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251 series, a desktop colour laser printer sized for a reception counter or small office.
  • Works in the M251n, which joins an office network by cable, and in the M251nw, which can also print over Wi-Fi.
  • Also fits the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 series, the multifunction model that copies and scans as well as printing.
  • Suits both the M276n and M276nw, so organisations with several machines can order one yellow part number for all of them.
  • Belongs in the yellow slot alone; black, cyan and magenta each have their own 131A cartridge in the same printer.

Build and Packaging
  • Original HP LaserJet cartridge identified by part number CF212A, printed on the carton and used by our staff to look up stock.
  • Supplied in a sealed HP retail carton carrying UPC 886111334988, which procurement teams can log against their purchase orders.
  • HP states packed dimensions of 365 x 100 x 110 mm and a weight of 0.8 kg, light enough to courier to any county.
  • Fitted by hand with no tools after removing the packing materials, following the steps HP prints on the carton.
  • Accepted by HP Planet Partners for return and recycling, a scheme running in over 50 countries and regions where offered.

Cost of Running
  • KSh 15,500 over 1,800 rated pages comes to about KSh 8.61 of yellow toner for each standard page printed.
  • Roughly KSh 861 per 100 pages, a simple figure for teachers and office managers setting a termly supplies budget.
  • Same price as the 131A cyan and magenta, and KSh 2,000 more than the 131A black at KSh 13,500.
  • Only slightly costlier per page than the black 131A, which works out to about KSh 8.44 per rated page.
  • A full four-colour set totals KSh 60,000, so replacing only an empty yellow avoids paying for three cartridges you do not yet need.

Included With Your Order
  • One HP 131A Yellow Toner Cartridge, part number CF212A, delivered in its unopened HP carton.
  • A 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims taken at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
  • A compatibility check by WhatsApp before dispatch, matching the cartridge to the model shown on your printer's label.
  • Payment on arrival anywhere in Kenya, once you have confirmed that the HP seal on the carton is unbroken.
  • Walk-in advice at our Kimathi Street counter on spotting a low yellow cartridge before it spoils a colour print run.
