The HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge sells at Mascom International for KSh 13,900, with HP part number W2222A on the box. Every unit is brand new and sealed in HP packaging. It is rated at about 1,200 pages, in line with the other colour cartridges of HP's 222A set, and HP lists it for the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 and MFP 3388 series. Buy the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge over the counter at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it to your door with payment on arrival.
Built for anyone who prints in full colour across Kenya, the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge handles a job most people never notice until it fails. Yellow mixes into every green, orange, red and warm skin tone on the page. Event planners, restaurant owners, hotel marketing staff and school offices printing certificates feel it first. When yellow fades, greens turn blue, oranges look pink and photos take on a cold cast. A fresh HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge restores warm tones, so menus in Kilimani, wedding programmes in Nakuru and prize-day certificates print as designed.
Mascom International sells the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge on its own, so you replace only the colour that has run out instead of paying for a full set. At Mascom International, we're seeing more offices swap single colours as each one empties, which spreads the cost over several months. Where many Nairobi shops push refilled yellow of unknown origin, every carton on our shelf is a sealed HP original. Ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the install-by date before you order. Pay with M-Pesa or cash when your order reaches you, or collect it from Kimathi Street.
Common Questions About the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge
How much does the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge cost in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge for KSh 13,900 in Nairobi as a sealed, original HP part. You also get a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya's 47 counties. The cyan and magenta 222A cartridges carry the same KSh 13,900 price, and the black costs KSh 12,300. Restocking all four cartridges at once totals KSh 54,000 if every level on your printer reads low.
Why do I need the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge if I mostly print text?
The HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge matters even in text-heavy offices, because HP colour LaserJets expect all four cartridges in their slots. A missing or faulty yellow cartridge can stop the printer from working at all. Yellow also hides inside letterheads, logos and stamps that look green, orange or red. If you print mostly text, your yellow will last a long time, and you replace it only when the control panel shows it low.
Should I replace only the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge or buy the whole colour set?
Replace only the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge when yellow alone shows low and the other colours still read healthy on the control panel. That single swap costs KSh 13,900, against KSh 41,700 for cyan, yellow and magenta together. Buy the full colour set when all three levels are near empty, or before a big job such as a school's annual report. Offices that print colour photos heavily may find all three colours emptying at similar times.
Can I pay for the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge with M-Pesa and get it delivered to Kisumu?
Yes, you can order the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge on WhatsApp and pay by M-Pesa or cash when it reaches you in Kisumu, with nothing sent upfront. Kisumu, like other major towns, gets delivery the next business day, while Nairobi orders arrive the same day. Check the seal and the W2222A part number on the carton before you pay the rider. Offices in Kakamega, Bungoma and Kericho order the same way.
Who should buy the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge, and who should pass on it?
Buy the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge if you run an HP Color LaserJet Pro 3203, 3288, MFP 3303 or MFP 3388 and its yellow level reads low. Pass on it if your printer is a 3202 or 3302 model, which HP pairs with the 219A range. Busy print shops and colour-heavy design studios should consider HP's high-yield 222X yellow for fewer cartridge changes. Anyone printing only occasional colour pages need not buy a spare yet.
How do I install the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
Installing the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge takes a few minutes and no tools. Switch the printer on, open the cartridge access door your manual shows, and pull out the old yellow unit. Unpack the new cartridge, rock it gently from side to side to spread the toner, and remove all tape and packing. Slide it into the yellow slot until it seats firmly, close the door, and let the printer finish its setup before printing.
How do I know when the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge is running low?
Your printer tracks the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge through its chip and shows the level on the control panel or on a printed status page. The first visible signs appear in photos: greens lean blue, oranges look pink, and skin tones turn grey. Print a page with solid colour blocks to check. Keep one spare yellow on the shelf if your office prints colour weekly, so a low warning never stops a deadline.
Is the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge worth it for wedding and event printing?
Yes, the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge is worth buying for event printing, because warm colours carry most wedding programmes, menus and invitations. Gold, cream and orange designs depend on yellow toner going down evenly. At about KSh 11.58 of yellow per page at HP's rated coverage, a run of 200 programmes uses about KSh 2,316 in yellow. Event planners in Nairobi and Naivasha tell us original toner keeps colours consistent from the first copy to the last.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality

- Yellow toner layer — mixes into greens, oranges, reds and warm skin tones on every colour page you print.
- Standard capacity — a lighter upfront spend than HP's high-yield 222X yellow for steady, moderate colour printing.
- Heat-fused dry toner — certificates and menus leave the printer dry and resist smudging when guests handle them.

Package Contents
Inside the box of the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge you get one original W2222A yellow cartridge, still in HP's factory wrapping, with the box seal unbroken. No paper, cables or extra parts come with it. You can add the black at KSh 12,300 or the cyan and magenta at KSh 13,900 each in the same order. We never open boxes before handover, so the seal you inspect is HP's own.

Mascom International gives the HP 222A Yellow Toner Cartridge a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, for example a cartridge that leaks or that a listed printer will not accept. Take the cartridge, your receipt and a sample print to our Nairobi CBD service desk, and our team handles the claim from there.
