The HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge, HP part W1450A, is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 13,750, with an HP-rated yield of up to 1,700 pages. It is genuine original HP, brand new and sealed, and it uses HP JetIntelligence technology. HP builds it for the LaserJet Pro 3001 to 3004 printers and the LaserJet Pro MFP 3101 to 3104 multifunction range. Mascom International stocks the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. WhatsApp us first if you would like the install-by date on the box confirmed.
Designed for accounts departments, law firms, clinics and NGO field offices, the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge handles the daily run of statements, prescriptions, contracts and reports. These printers are newer models, and many buyers struggle to find the matching cartridge in town, so work stops while someone hunts across the CBD. Keeping a genuine spare solves that. Clinic managers in Kilimani and logistics coordinators in Industrial Area tell us the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge is now part of their monthly stationery order, sitting beside paper and envelopes, paid through Lipa na M-Pesa like everything else.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push cheaper look-alike cartridges for new printers, Mascom International sells only sealed HP originals with a written warranty. That matters with this printer family, because HP's anti-fraud chip check can refuse cartridges it does not recognise. Buyers throughout Kenya report fewer error messages and steadier print darkness once they stop gambling on unknown brands. Visit us on Kimathi Street to compare the box with your old cartridge, or simply message your printer model and we will send the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge pay-on-arrival anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge
What is the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge price in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge for KSh 13,750, sealed genuine HP stock, from our Nairobi CBD shop on Kimathi Street. The price includes a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the sealed box before handing over cash or M-Pesa. It is a single cartridge of about 1,700 pages. Corporate buyers ordering several units for different branches can request one invoice covering the whole order, which helps with company procurement records.
Which LaserJet Pro models take the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge?
The HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge fits the HP LaserJet Pro 3001, 3002, 3003 and 3004 printer series. It also fits the LaserJet Pro MFP 3101, 3102, 3103 and 3104 multifunction series, which add copying and scanning. Popular examples include the LaserJet Pro 3003dn, 3003dw, MFP 3103fdn and MFP 3103fdw. The model name is printed on the front panel or the label on the back. Older LaserJet Pro M-series printers do not take this cartridge.
Is the genuine HP 145A worth paying for over a cheaper compatible toner?
For this printer family, the genuine HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge is usually the safer buy over an unbranded compatible. These LaserJet Pro models carry HP's anti-fraud checks, and some third-party chips trigger error messages or stop working after a firmware update. Compatibles also vary widely in how dark and even the text looks. A cheaper copy suits a buyer willing to accept that risk on draft printing. Offices printing client-facing documents should stick with the original HP cartridge.
Will the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge work well in Mombasa humidity or a hot Kisumu office?
The HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge works normally in coastal and lakeside climates if you store it properly. Leave spares sealed in their original wrapping until the day you fit them, because damp air can make toner powder cake. In Mombasa, Malindi and Kisumu, keep the box off the floor and away from windows that catch afternoon sun. Put the printer on a surge protector, since voltage spikes after KPLC outages harm the printer far more than the cartridge.
Who should buy the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge if your office runs an HP LaserJet Pro 3001 to 3004 or an MFP 3101 to 3104 and prints mainly black text. It suits clinics, law chambers, school bursaries and small finance teams. Skip it if you own an HP LaserJet M211, M234 or M236; those take the HP 136A Black Toner Cartridge instead. Anyone needing colour charts or photos should look at a colour laser or an ink tank printer.
What does HP JetIntelligence mean in the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge?
JetIntelligence is HP's name for the toner and chip design inside the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge. In plain terms, the chip tracks how much toner is left, so the printer can warn you before pages start fading rather than after. It also lets the printer confirm it is using an original HP supply. For an office manager, that means fewer surprises mid-job and a clearer view of when to reorder, which matters when deadlines like KRA filing week arrive.
How long does the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge last in a busy office?
HP rates the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge at up to 1,700 pages using the ISO/IEC 19752 test for mono laser toner. An office printing 85 pages a day would use one cartridge in about 20 working days, close to a month. A two-person practice printing 20 pages a day would get around 85 working days. Pages heavy with tables, letterheads or scanned stamps use more toner, so expect fewer pages if most of your output looks like that.
Why does my LaserJet Pro 3000 series printer reject some cheaper cartridges?
HP fits these printers with dynamic security, which checks the chip on each cartridge, and the HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge passes that check as an original HP supply. Cartridges with cloned or altered chips may show an error, print once and then stop, or fail after the printer updates its firmware online. If your printer has rejected a cheaper cartridge, a sealed original clears the message. Mascom International can confirm the right part number on WhatsApp before you order.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- Up to 1,700 pages rated yield — measured by HP under ISO/IEC 19752, the standard test for mono laser toner cartridges.
- Black toner for mono printing — clear, dark text for statements, contracts and reports without any colour toner to replace.
- Even darkness across the page — headers, footers and small print come out at the same density, so documents look professional.
- Low-toner warning in good time — the printer alerts you before quality drops, so you can reorder without stopping work.
- Real yield follows coverage — text-only pages stretch the cartridge further than pages filled with logos and shaded tables.
Printer Compatibility
- HP LaserJet Pro 3001, 3002, 3003 and 3004 series — single-function mono laser printers built for small workgroups.
- HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101, 3102, 3103 and 3104 series — multifunction models that print, copy and scan documents.
- Common models named by HP — LaserJet Pro 3003dn, 3003dw, MFP 3103fdn and MFP 3103fdw all take this cartridge.
- Not for LaserJet M211, M234 or M236 — those compact models use the HP 136A cartridge family instead.
- Not for older LaserJet Pro M-series machines — check the model label before ordering, or ask us on WhatsApp.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- HP JetIntelligence technology — toner and chip design that tracks remaining toner and warns you before prints fade.
- HP anti-fraud protection — helps confirm the cartridge is a genuine HP original, not a copy with a cloned chip.
- Dry laser toner — heat-fused onto paper, so printed pages resist smudging when handled or filed straight away.
- One-piece swap — the cartridge slides in and out from the front, with no loose parts to fit or align.
- Sealed in HP retail packaging — protects the toner from moisture, light and dust until installation day.
Running Cost
- KSh 13,750 divided by 1,700 pages — about KSh 8.09 per page in toner at HP's rated yield.
- 100 printed pages — cost roughly KSh 809 in toner, useful when you price printing for clients.
- 1,000 pages a month — comes to about KSh 8,090 in toner, a clear line item for an office budget.
- Paper and power not included — add those when working out the full cost of each printed page.
- Dense pages cost more — reports full of tables and shaded headers use more toner per sheet than letters.
Inclusions
- One HP 145A Black Toner Cartridge, W1450A — sealed in its original HP retail box.
- HP setup guide — short illustrated steps for removing the old cartridge and fitting this one.
- HP warranty flyer — HP's printed statement on the cartridge's own cover.
- HP recycling guide — explains how to return the empty cartridge through HP's take-back scheme.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled in Nairobi CBD.
