The HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge, part number W2220A, is available at Mascom International for KSh 12,300, brand new and sealed in HP's own retail box. HP rates this standard-capacity cartridge at about 1,300 pages of black printing. It fits the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series, the printer families HP lists for its 222A supplies. Pick up the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for offices that print mostly words, the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge carries the daily load for accountants, lawyers, estate agents and school bursars. Think invoices, contracts, KRA return summaries, eCitizen forms and fee statements. When a black cartridge starts to fade, text turns grey, barcodes fail to scan and stamped documents need reprinting. A fresh HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge brings back dark, sharp letters on every line. Because toner is a dry powder fused onto paper by heat, each page leaves the printer dry, ready to sign, stamp or file straight away without smudges.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix refilled shells with original stock on one shelf, Mascom International sells the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge only as a sealed HP original. Customers across Nairobi tell us the real cost of a cheap refill shows up later as streaks, loose toner inside the printer and wasted reams of paper. You can inspect the seal at our Kimathi Street counter before you pay, and ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the install-by date printed on the box. Delivery runs same day across Nairobi, with M-Pesa or cash accepted on arrival.
Common Questions About the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge
How much is the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge in Kenya?
The HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge costs KSh 12,300 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sold as a sealed original HP supply. That price covers one W2220A cartridge, our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The cyan, yellow and magenta 222A cartridges cost KSh 13,900 each, so black is KSh 1,600 less than any single colour. A full set of all four comes to KSh 54,000 for offices replacing everything at once.
Which printers use the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge?
HP lists the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series. The series number sits on the label at the front or back of your printer. If your label reads 3202 or 3302, HP pairs those printers with its 219A cartridges instead, so check before you order. Send Mascom International a photo of the label on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the match before you pay a shilling.
How many pages does the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge print?
HP rates the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge at about 1,300 pages. That figure comes from HP's standard test pages, which cover only a small share of each sheet, much like a typed letter. Dense pages such as full spreadsheets, bold headers or scanned copies use more toner and bring the count down. For an office printing 300 pages a month, one cartridge lasts a little over four months. At 100 pages a week, expect about 13 weeks.
Should I buy the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge or the high-yield HP 222X?
Buy the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge if you print a few hundred pages a month and want a lower upfront spend. The HP 222X black is the high-yield version, rated at up to 3,200 pages against about 1,300 for the 222A, so it costs more at the till but less per page. Busy offices, law firms and print bureaus running thousands of pages a month gain more from the 222X. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp about 222X supply before ordering.
Will the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge cope with KPLC power cuts and Nairobi dust?
Yes, the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge holds dry toner, so it cannot dry out or clog during KPLC outages the way inkjet heads can when a printer sits idle. Keep the cartridge in its sealed packaging until the day you fit it, and store it flat, away from windows and hot storerooms. In dusty offices near Industrial Area or Mombasa Road, keep the printer's covers closed. When power returns, the printer warms up again and you resend any job that was cut off.
Who should buy the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge, and who should skip it?
Buy the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge if you own an HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 or MFP 3388 and print mainly text. Skip it if your printer is a 3202 or 3302, since HP matches those to the 219A range. Heavy users printing well over a thousand pages a month will save more per page with the high-yield 222X. Home users printing a few pages a week may find an ink tank printer cheaper to run.
Is the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge good for law firms and accountants?
Yes, the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge suits law firms and accountants because its dark, sharp text holds up on contracts, affidavits, ledgers and audit packs. Fused laser text does not run when a page gets damp, and it takes rubber stamps and wet signatures without smearing. Firms in Upper Hill and Kilimani tell us steady original toner means fewer reprints before filing. At about KSh 9.46 a page, a 20-page agreement uses roughly KSh 189 in black toner.
How do I tell a genuine HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge from a fake in Nairobi?
A genuine HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge comes in an HP box with the part number W2220A printed on it and an unbroken seal. HP places a security label on the boxes of its original toner, which you can scan to check the product. Mascom International sells only sealed HP originals, and you can inspect the box at our Kimathi Street counter before paying. Prices far below KSh 12,300 in Nairobi street stalls often signal a refill packed in a reused box.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- HP-rated yield of about 1,300 pages — roughly four months of output for an office printing 300 pages monthly.
- Standard-capacity 222A version — a lower upfront cost than the high-yield 222X for moderate print volumes.
- Black toner for text, tables and barcodes — letters stay dark and crisp down to small footnote sizes.
- Dry toner fused by heat — pages come out dry, so stamps and signatures go on at once without smears.
- Yield measured on standard test pages — heavy graphics, bold fills and scanned copies give fewer pages than the rating.
Printer Compatibility
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203 series — listed by HP for this cartridge; check the label on your printer's front or rear.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro 3288 series — also on HP's list, sharing the same four-cartridge 222A set.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303 series — the multifunction models that print, copy and scan with this cartridge.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3388 series — further multifunction models on HP's list for the 222A range.
- Printers labelled 3202 or 3302 — HP pairs these with 219A cartridges, so confirm your model with us first.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Original HP laser toner cartridge — made by HP for its own Color LaserJet Pro printers, not a refill or clone.
- Part number W2220A on the box — match it to your printer manual or the old cartridge before ordering.
- HP chip on the cartridge — lets the printer read the toner level and show it on the control panel.
- Separate cartridge per colour — replace black alone when it runs low, without touching cyan, yellow or magenta.
- Sealed protective packaging — keeps out dust and moisture until installation day.
Running Cost
- KSh 12,300 divided by about 1,300 pages — roughly KSh 9.46 per page of black text at HP's rated coverage.
- 500 pages a month — roughly KSh 4,730 a month in black toner, about one cartridge every 11 weeks.
- A 10-page invoice pack — about KSh 95 in black toner, a handy figure for quoting print costs to clients.
- KSh 1,600 below each colour cartridge of the 222A set — black costs less to replace than cyan, yellow or magenta.
- Original toner avoids reprint waste — fewer streaked pages means fewer sheets and less toner thrown away.
Inclusions
- One HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge, part number W2220A, in HP's sealed retail box.
- Protective packaging around the cartridge — remove all of it, tape and seals included, before fitting.
- Install-by date printed by HP on the box — ask us on WhatsApp to confirm it before buying.
- No printer, paper or cables — this is a replacement supply for a printer you already own.
- Cyan, yellow and magenta 222A cartridges sold separately at Mascom International, KSh 13,900 each.
Package Contents
Each order of the HP 222A Black Toner Cartridge contains one original W2220A black cartridge in HP's sealed retail box, with HP's protective packaging still in place.
