Rich reds and pinks on brochures, certificates and church programmes everywhere.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge costs KSh 16,700 at Mascom International, where it is sold brand new and sealed under HP part number CF403A. HP gives it a rated yield of 1,330 pages, measured with the ISO/IEC 19798 method for colour laser toner. That figure comes from a standard office test page, so brochures heavy with red, pink or purple artwork will print fewer copies before a change. Compatible machines are the HP Color LaserJet Pro M252n, M252dw, MFP M274n, MFP M277n and MFP M277dw. Find the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge at our first-floor shop, Room 4 of the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Designed for church administrators, graphic designers, NGO communications staff and school offices, the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge handles the reds, pinks and purples on colour pages. Magenta mixes with yellow for reds and with cyan for blues, so it shows up in almost every logo, chart and certificate. Once magenta weakens, reds look orange, blues turn teal and graduation certificates lose their depth. Replacing it with a genuine HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge brings back accurate colour, while the HP chip keeps the printer's toner reading current.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that cannot say where a cartridge came from, Mascom International sells only sealed HP stock with its security label in place. Customers across Nairobi tell us they stopped refilling magenta after uneven pink bands ruined wedding programmes and brochures. NGO offices in Kilimani and Lavington often pair the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge with cyan before big report deadlines. Call, send a WhatsApp message or stop by the CBD shop, and delivery is pay-on-arrival wherever you are in the country.
Common Questions About the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge
What is the price of the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge in Kenya?
At Mascom International in Nairobi, the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge is priced at KSh 16,700 as a sealed, genuine HP product. You also get the 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. It costs the same as the cyan and yellow 201A, and KSh 2,000 more than the KSh 14,700 black. Replacing magenta and cyan together, a common pairing for offices with blue or purple logos, comes to KSh 33,400.
Is refilling my old magenta cartridge cheaper than buying the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge?
Refilling costs less upfront, but the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge gives you HP's rated 1,330 pages and dependable colour. Refill shops pour generic toner into a used shell, so colour, page count and cartridge wear vary from one refill to the next. Reused chips may also report wrong levels or show non-HP warnings. Choose a refill for draft work on an older printer, and pick the genuine cartridge for certificates, brochures and anything a client or donor will see.
Does coastal humidity in Mombasa affect the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge?
Sealed, the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge is protected from coastal humidity in Mombasa, Kilifi and Diani until you open it. Damp air affects paper more than toner, so curled or moist sheets can cause faint spots and jams. Keep reams wrapped and stored off the floor, and install the cartridge soon after unwrapping it. Offices near the sea should avoid parking spare cartridges beside windows or air-conditioner vents where condensation can form.
Why are my reds and pinks printing faded?
Faded reds and pinks usually mean the magenta cartridge is close to empty, and fitting a fresh HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge fixes it. Check the estimated level on the printer panel first, since the chip reports it there. If magenta still reads high, a non-HP or refilled cartridge may be laying down uneven toner. Paper that is damp or too glossy for laser printing can also dull colours, so try a fresh ream before replacing anything.
Will the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge work in an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M274n?
Yes, the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge is one of the four 201A cartridges made for the Color LaserJet Pro MFP M274n. It also fits the M252n, M252dw, MFP M277n and MFP M277dw. Each of these printers takes all four 201A colours, so one supplies order covers a mixed group of these models. Printers outside that list, such as the M254 or M281, need a different HP cartridge, so confirm the model label before you order.
How far does the 1,330-page rating stretch on heavy-colour brochures?
The 1,330-page rating for the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge assumes the light coverage of ISO test pages, so heavy brochures will produce fewer copies. A full-colour brochure page with a red banner or large photo can use several times the toner of a test page. Plan conservatively: if your brochure uses roughly three times the ISO coverage, expect around 440 pages. Ordering a spare before a big print run avoids a stalled job on deadline day.
Can I order the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge for several office printers at once?
Yes, offices running several M252 or M277 printers can order multiple units of the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge in one request. Send the printer models and quantity on WhatsApp or email, and Mascom International confirms availability and the total before dispatch. Each cartridge arrives sealed with its own HP security label. For procurement teams, the receipt lists the CF403A part number and unit price, which simplifies matching against purchase orders and petty-cash records.
Which buyers should pick the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge, and which should pass?
Pick the HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge if you own a Color LaserJet Pro M252, M274 or M277 printer and print certificates, brochures, programmes or colour reports. Churches, NGOs, schools and design studios get the most from it. Pass if your printer is a different model, since it will not fit, or if your work is almost all black text. Owners of the newer Color LaserJet Pro M254 or M281 need the HP 202A magenta instead.
Technical Specifications
Yield and Colour Accuracy
- 1,330 pages rated by HP — tested under ISO/IEC 19798, the standard method for colour laser cartridges.
- Rating uses a light-coverage office page — red banners, photos and full-bleed designs reduce the real count.
- Standard 201A capacity — the 201X magenta is HP's larger option for heavier colour workloads.
- Magenta creates reds with yellow and blues with cyan — central to logos, certificates and pie charts.
- HP-balanced toner — pinks and reds keep the same shade from the first brochure to the last.
Printers It Fits
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M252n — print-only colour model with wired networking for shared desks.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M252dw — adds wireless printing and two-sided output on the same cartridge set.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M274n — print, scan and copy in one machine for reception desks.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277n and MFP M277dw — multifunction printers that also send and receive faxes.
- Newer HP colour printers such as the M254 and M281 — take the HP 202A instead, not this cartridge.
Cartridge Construction and Chip
- HP part number CF403A — the reference used on the box, cartridge label and Mascom International receipt.
- Magenta-only unit — replaced alone in its own slot, so you never pay for colours still half full.
- HP electronic chip — passes the remaining toner estimate to the printer panel and HP software.
- Factory seal plus HP security label — proof that the cartridge is original and unopened.
- Toner fused by heat onto the page — prints come out dry and resist smudging when handled.
Running Cost Maths
- KSh 16,700 divided by 1,330 pages — around KSh 12.56 of magenta per ISO-coverage page.
- 250 ISO pages — close to KSh 3,140 in magenta toner.
- Priced level with cyan and yellow 201A — KSh 2,000 higher than the 201A black.
- Magenta and cyan pair — KSh 33,400 at Mascom International.
- Full 201A set of four — KSh 64,800, a single figure for annual supplies planning.
Box and Inclusions
- One HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge, CF403A, packed in HP's carton.
- Sealed inner pouch — keeps dust and damp air away until installation.
- HP security label — on the outer carton for checking before you pay.
- Excludes other colours, cables and printer — black, cyan and yellow 201A are sold separately.
- Mascom International receipt — itemised with code and price for audits and claims.
Package Contents
The HP 201A Magenta Toner Cartridge arrives in HP's carton, with the cartridge sealed inside an inner pouch against dust and damp. Look for the CF403A part number and the HP security label on the outside before you open it. There are no extras in the box beyond the cartridge. The black, cyan and yellow 201A cartridges are separate purchases at Mascom International, so you only pay for the colour your printer has flagged.
