Condition: New

Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice

The HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 17,900, brand new and sealed in HP's own carton. It carries HP part number W2303A and a rated yield of 1,800 pages measured to ISO/IEC 19798. The HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge feeds the red-and-pink channel of HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 printers and MFP 4301-4303 multifunction machines, including HP+ models. Pick it up at our first-floor store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it brought to your office or home.

Built for marketers, restaurateurs, event planners and church administrators across Kenya, the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge produces the reds, pinks and warm oranges that make printed material stand out. Magenta mixes with yellow to form reds and with cyan to form purples, so a weak cartridge spoils far more than pink text. Menus turn brown, sale posters lose their punch and skin tones in photos look washed out. A sealed HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge kept beside the printer lets a busy front office swap it in minutes and keep the week's flyers and notices on schedule.

Where most Nairobi electronics shops push refilled magenta at a lower price with no record of where the toner came from, Mascom International sells original HP stock you can trace by its part number. At Mascom International, we're seeing more small print shops and agencies return to original magenta after refills gave them patchy reds on client jobs. Restaurants in Westlands and salons in Kilimani order the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge on WhatsApp and pay through M-Pesa on arrival. Drop by the store to inspect the seal yourself, or tell us your printer model and location and we will send it out today.

Common Questions About the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge

How much does the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge cost in Kenya?
The HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge sells for KSh 17,900 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new in a sealed HP box. The price includes one original cartridge with part number W2303A and a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects. You pay on arrival, by cash or M-Pesa, wherever you are in Kenya. Cyan and yellow 230A cartridges cost the same KSh 17,900, while the black 230A is KSh 15,150.

Why does the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge cost more than the HP 230A black?
The HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge costs KSh 17,900, which is KSh 2,750 more than the KSh 15,150 black, and it also holds fewer rated pages. HP rates the magenta at 1,800 pages against 2,000 for the black. That puts magenta at about KSh 9.94 per page of rated coverage, compared with about KSh 7.58 for black. Colour toner is priced higher across HP's range, so offices that print mostly text should switch charts and headings to black where colour adds nothing.

How many flyers can one HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge produce?
One HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge is rated for 1,800 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, but flyer counts depend on how much red and pink each design carries. The rated figure comes from standard office pages with modest colour. A flyer with a bold red background or large photo uses far more magenta, so expect noticeably fewer copies. Designs with red headlines on a white background come closer to HP's rating, which is worth knowing before a big run.

Will the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge work in HP+ printers like the MFP 4303fdwe?
Yes, the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge works in HP+ printers such as the MFP 4303fdwe and 4203dwe, which are built to use original HP cartridges. It also fits the standard 4201-4203 and MFP 4301-4303 models, including the 4203dn and MFP 4303fdw. HP+ machines may refuse third-party magenta, so an original cartridge is the safe choice there. Send your printer's full model name on WhatsApp if you want our team to confirm before ordering.

Is the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge a good choice for a marketing agency or print shop?
Yes, the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge suits marketing agencies and small print shops that turn out short runs of flyers, price lists and branded handouts. Original HP magenta keeps reds and pinks the same from the first copy to the last, so a client's brand colour does not drift mid-job. Agencies in Westlands and print kiosks near the CBD keep a spare to avoid stopping a rush order. For long runs of thousands of colour pages, a commercial digital press will cost less per copy.

Can I pay with M-Pesa and get the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge delivered to Kisumu?
Yes, you can order the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge for delivery to Kisumu and pay with M-Pesa when it arrives. Kisumu, like other major towns, receives orders within 1 business day of dispatch from Nairobi. You check the sealed box first, then pay by Lipa na M-Pesa or cash to the delivery rider. Offices in Nairobi and its environs get the same pay-on-arrival terms with same-day delivery.

Who should buy the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge and who should not?
Buy the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge if you run an HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 or MFP 4301-4303 and print colour marketing, menus, certificates or reports in moderate volume. It is a sound fit for restaurants, salons, churches and small agencies. Do not buy it if you print thousands of colour pages monthly; HP's high-yield 230X magenta will last longer per cartridge. It is also the wrong part for older Color LaserJet Pro M454 or M479 printers.

How do I check how much magenta toner is left in my printer?
You can check the HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge level on the printer's control panel under the supplies or toner status menu. The cartridge chip reports its remaining toner, so the printer shows an estimate for each colour. HP's printer app on your phone shows the same levels when the printer shares your Wi-Fi network, which helps if the machine sits in another room. Order a replacement when magenta drops low, so you are not caught out during a busy week.

Technical Specifications

Page Yield and Print Quality
  • Rated at 1,800 pages by HP under ISO/IEC 19798, a test built on typical office pages with moderate colour.
  • Magenta supplies reds, pinks and purples on the page, and it blends with yellow to form the oranges in many logos.
  • Designs with solid red backgrounds or large photos draw more magenta, so real-world yield falls below the rating.
  • Original HP magenta prints an even, stable shade, so brand reds on page one still match page five hundred.
  • Correct magenta levels keep skin tones natural in printed photos instead of pale, grey or greenish.

Printer Compatibility
  • Fits all HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 printers, the 4203dn and 4203dw being the models we see most often in Nairobi.
  • Fits all HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301-4303 multifunction printers, including the MFP 4303dw, MFP 4303fdn and MFP 4303fdw.
  • Accepted by HP+ printers such as the 4203dwe and MFP 4303fdwe, which only work with original HP supplies.
  • Goes in the magenta position only, alongside separate 230A cyan, yellow and black cartridges in the same printer.
  • Not suitable for Color LaserJet Pro M454 or M479 machines, which use an earlier cartridge family from HP.

Cartridge Build and Technology
  • Original HP cartridge with magenta colour coding on its label and part number W2303A printed on the carton.
  • On-board HP chip shares remaining toner with the printer and HP's phone app, so you can see when to reorder.
  • Packed in a sealed bag inside HP's carton, which protects the toner from dust and moisture until installation day.
  • Keyed shape lets the cartridge slide into its own colour slot only, which prevents a mix-up during a hurried swap.
  • Ready to install straight from the box, with no refilling, chip resets or special tools involved in the process.

Running Cost
  • At KSh 17,900 for HP's rated 1,800 pages, magenta costs about KSh 9.94 per page of rated coverage.
  • A batch of 250 rated-coverage pages uses roughly KSh 2,486 worth of magenta toner from this cartridge.
  • A typical 1,000-page month at rated coverage draws about KSh 9,944 of magenta, before paper and electricity.
  • Compared with the 230A black at KSh 15,150, magenta costs KSh 2,750 more per cartridge and about KSh 2.37 more per page.
  • Red-heavy posters and photo prints push real magenta spend above these figures, so price colour jobs accordingly.

Inclusions
  • One HP 230A Magenta Toner Cartridge, part number W2303A, brand new with HP's factory seal intact.
  • Sealed protective bag and packing pieces that hold the cartridge steady through delivery and storage.
  • HP's pictorial installation sheet inside the carton, covering how to take out the old cartridge and fit this one.
  • Mascom International receipt kept with your order, acting as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
  • Six-month warranty on manufacturing defects, assessed and handled at the Mascom International service desk in Nairobi CBD.
