Mascom International stocks the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge, HP part number W2301A, at KSh 17,900, brand new and sealed in its original HP box. HP rates this cyan cartridge at 1,800 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, the standard used across the toner industry. The HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge supplies the blue channel for HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 printers and the MFP 4301-4303 range, HP+ editions included. It is on the shelf at our store on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, ready for collection or delivery.

Designed for teams that print in colour every day, the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge handles the blues in pie charts, company logos, site plans and lesson materials. Architects, civil engineers, NGO field staff and teachers rely on blue to separate data series and mark boundaries on a page. When cyan runs low, sky turns grey, greens drift toward yellow and a corporate logo looks off-brand. A sealed spare HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge in the stationery cupboard means the next board pack or proposal goes out looking the way it did on screen. Most swaps take about two minutes.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that mix grey-market and refilled stock on the same shelf, Mascom International sells only original HP cartridges with the part number shown on the packaging. Buyers throughout Kenya report steadier colour and fewer printer warnings after moving from refilled cyan to original stock. Survey firms in Industrial Area and consultancies in Kilimani reorder the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge by WhatsApp and settle with Lipa na M-Pesa on delivery. Visit the store to check the seal, or send us your printer model and we will have the cartridge at your door, often within the same working day.

Common Questions About the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge

What is the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge price in Kenya?
Mascom International in Nairobi sells the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge for KSh 17,900, brand new and factory sealed. You get one original HP cyan cartridge, part number W2301A, plus a 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival in all 47 counties, so payment happens only after the box reaches you. The magenta and yellow 230A cartridges carry the same KSh 17,900 price, while the 230A black costs KSh 15,150, which is KSh 2,750 less.

What page yield does the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge give?
The HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge is rated by HP at 1,800 pages using the ISO/IEC 19798 colour yield test. That test prints a mix of business documents with charts and colour text until the cartridge is spent. Pages with large blue areas, such as banners, coloured backgrounds or full-page maps, draw more cyan and lower the count. A team printing mainly text with blue headings and small charts will get closest to HP's figure.

Does the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge fit an HP Color LaserJet Pro 4203dw?
Yes, the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge fits the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4203dw and every other printer in the 4201-4203 series. It also fits the MFP 4301-4303 multifunction machines, such as the MFP 4303fdw and MFP 4303fdn, plus HP+ editions like the 4203dwe. It slides into the cyan slot only, because each colour position is shaped for its own cartridge. If you are unsure of your model, a photo of the printer's front label on WhatsApp is enough for us to confirm.

How does the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge compare with a refilled or compatible cyan?
The HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge costs more upfront than a refilled or third-party compatible cyan, but it gives HP's rated yield and colour accuracy. Refills and clones vary from batch to batch, so blues can print lighter, streak or shift in tone. Some carry chips the printer rejects after a firmware update, and HP+ printers are built to use original cartridges only. Choose the original for client-facing work and HP+ machines; a compatible may suit drafts on a printer you do not depend on.

Will coastal humidity in Mombasa affect the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge?
The HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge arrives sealed in protective wrapping, which keeps moist coastal air in Mombasa, Kilifi and Lamu away from the toner while it is stored. Damp air mostly affects paper, which can curl and jam, so store reams in a closed cabinet near the printer. Open the cartridge wrapping only when you are ready to install it. Keep spares in a cool, dry cupboard, away from air-conditioning drips and direct sunlight.

Can surveyors and architects rely on the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge for drawings?
Yes, the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge suits survey and architecture practices printing site plans, water layouts and marked-up drawings on A4. Original HP cyan keeps blue lines and fills consistent, so a pipe run or boundary on page one matches page twenty. Firms in Westlands and Industrial Area use it for client handouts and tender documents. For large-format drawings you still need a plotter, because the Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 and MFP 4301-4303 range are A4-class office printers.

Who is the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge right for, and who should look elsewhere?
The HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge is right for anyone running a Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 or MFP 4301-4303 who prints colour charts, logos and maps at moderate volume. It suits schools, consultancies, clinics and small agencies. Look elsewhere if your office prints thousands of colour pages a month; HP's high-yield 230X cyan lasts longer between swaps. Also skip it if your printer is an older Color LaserJet Pro M454 or M479, which takes a different cartridge family.

How do I install the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge?
Installing the HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge takes about two minutes and needs no tools. Open the printer's front door, pull out the used cyan cartridge and set it aside on paper. Remove the new cartridge from its bag, take off all packing material and tape, then slide it into the cyan position until it seats firmly. Close the door and the printer reads the chip automatically. Follow the pictures in HP's printed guide if your model's door opens differently.

Technical Specifications

Page Yield and Print Quality
  • HP rates the cyan cartridge at 1,800 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, the shared standard for comparing colour toner fairly.
  • Cyan is the blue base colour; mixed with yellow it forms greens, and with magenta it forms purples and deep blues.
  • Pages carrying solid blue panels or backgrounds use more toner than pages with blue headings and slim chart lines.
  • Original HP cyan holds the same shade from first page to last, so a multi-page report keeps one consistent blue.
  • Correct cyan density keeps corporate logos on brand and stops skies, water and charts from turning grey.

Printer Compatibility
  • Every printer in the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 range, with the 4203dn and 4203dw being the most common in Kenyan offices.
  • Every machine in the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301-4303 range, among them the MFP 4303dw, MFP 4303fdn and MFP 4303fdw.
  • HP+ editions such as the 4203dwe and MFP 4303fdwe, which HP designs to accept original HP cartridges only.
  • Sits in the cyan slot alone; the magenta, yellow and black positions each take their own 230A cartridge.
  • Older Color LaserJet Pro M454 and M479 printers take a different cartridge family, so this one will not fit them.

Cartridge Build and Technology
  • Original HP construction with a cyan-coded label and the part number W2301A printed clearly on the box for checking.
  • HP memory chip tells the printer how much cyan remains, so the control panel can warn you before colour fades.
  • Factory sealed in a protective bag inside HP's retail carton, keeping the toner clean during transport and storage.
  • Shaped to seat only in the cyan position, so it cannot be loaded into the wrong colour slot by mistake.
  • Arrives ready to use, with no refilling, shaking routines or reset tools needed before the printer recognises it.

Running Cost
  • KSh 17,900 divided by HP's rated 1,800 pages comes to about KSh 9.94 per page of cyan coverage.
  • Every 100 pages at rated coverage use roughly KSh 994 worth of this cyan cartridge, before paper costs.
  • Printing a 500-sheet ream at that coverage draws about KSh 4,972 of cyan, a useful figure for termly budgets.
  • Buying all three 230A colour cartridges together costs KSh 53,700, and adding the black brings a full set to KSh 68,850.
  • Heavier blue pages, such as full-colour maps or brochures, cost more per page than these rated-coverage figures.

Inclusions
  • One HP 230A Cyan Toner Cartridge, part number W2301A, brand new and sealed exactly as it left HP.
  • Protective bag and packing pieces that guard the cartridge while it waits on your shelf or travels upcountry.
  • HP installation guidance printed inside the carton, with pictures showing removal and placement.
  • Mascom International receipt, your proof of purchase for any warranty claim at our service desk.
  • Six-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with claims handled in person at our Nairobi CBD location.
