The HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge, W2223A, costs KSh 13,900 at Mascom International and comes brand new and sealed in HP's retail package. Rated by HP at about 1,200 pages, it is the magenta cartridge of the 222A set for the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series. The part number sits on the package label, so you can match it against your empty cartridge before paying a single shilling. Walk into our store at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, to buy the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge, or order through WhatsApp for delivery and pay only when it arrives.
Designed for businesses that sell with colour, the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge produces the pinks, reds and purples in flyers, posters, price tags and product labels. Retail shops, salons, cyber cafés, campaign teams and church media teams lean on it hardest. A worn magenta turns red logos orange, makes purples look blue and leaves skin tones pale. Swapping in a fresh HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge brings back strong reds, so promotional flyers handed out in Eldoret or posted around Thika look the way your designer planned them.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops offer cheaper refilled magenta with no way to check what is inside, Mascom International sells the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge only as an HP original with its seal intact. Customers across Nairobi tell us a single bad refill can cost more than it saves, once wasted paper and a printer clean-up are counted. Check the package at our counter before paying, or ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the install-by date. We accept M-Pesa or cash, and same-day delivery covers all of Nairobi.
Common Questions About the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge
What is the price of the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge in Kenya?
Mascom International prices the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge at KSh 13,900 in Nairobi, sold as a sealed HP original. That figure includes our 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery throughout the 47 counties. Cyan and yellow from the same 222A set match it at KSh 13,900, while black sits at KSh 12,300. Pairing magenta with black in one order totals KSh 26,200.
Should a print shop choose the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge or the high-yield 222X magenta?
The HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge suits offices printing a few hundred colour pages a month, while HP's high-yield 222X magenta is the better match for print shops running colour all day. The 222X holds more toner, so it costs more at the counter but needs changing less often. The 222A keeps upfront spending lower and ties up less cash in spare stock. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp about 222X supply before you switch.
Does heat in places like Garissa or Lodwar affect the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge?
High heat can soften toner, so keep the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge somewhere cool and shaded in hot towns such as Garissa, Lodwar or Wajir. Never leave it in a parked car, a tin-roofed store or a sunny window. Leave it sealed until you install it, and let a cartridge that arrived in a hot vehicle settle to room temperature first. Plug the printer into a surge protector too, so KPLC voltage dips do not interrupt long jobs.
Who should buy the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge, and who should not?
The HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge is for owners of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 or MFP 3388 whose magenta reads low or whose reds look faded. It is the wrong buy for a 3202 or 3302, since HP assigns those printers the 219A range. Offices that print colour only a few times a month can wait for the low warning before buying. High-volume flyer printers should compare the 222X magenta first.
How much magenta toner does a cyber café flyer cost with the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge?
With the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge, magenta costs about KSh 11.58 per page at HP's rated yield of roughly 1,200 pages. A run of 500 single-sided flyers therefore uses about KSh 5,790 in magenta toner. Cyber cafés near Kenyatta University or Moi University can add that figure, plus the other colours and paper, to set a fair price per flyer. Designs with large red backgrounds use more toner, so price those jobs higher.
Can I use the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge alongside refilled cartridges in the other slots?
Yes, the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge works in its own slot whatever sits in the other three, because the printer reads each colour cartridge separately. Mixing an original with refills can still give uneven colour, since refilled toners may not match HP's colour settings. Reds may print well while blues or greens look off. For client work, Mascom International suggests moving to all-original cartridges as each refill runs out.
What should I check if a new magenta cartridge prints streaks?
First, take the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge out and confirm every strip of tape and packing has come off. Rock it gently from side to side, refit it firmly, and print a print-quality page from the printer's menu. Streaks that remain after these steps may point to a defect. In that case, bring the cartridge, the receipt and a sample print to our Nairobi CBD service desk for a warranty check.
Is the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge good for printing shop labels and price tags?
Yes, the HP 222A Magenta Toner Cartridge is a sound choice for shop labels and price tags, because laser prints resist smudging when customers handle them. Pinks and reds draw the eye to promotions, so a strong magenta makes offers stand out on the shelf. Shop owners on Moi Avenue and in Industrial Area can print weekly price lists in-house instead of paying a print bureau. Use paper or label sheets made for laser printers so the heat does not curl them.
