Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge, part number W2302A, is available at Mascom International for KSh 17,900, brand new and sealed in the box HP packed it in. HP gives it a rated yield of 1,800 pages, tested to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard. The HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge serves the yellow position in HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 printers and the MFP 4301-4303 series, with HP+ editions covered too. Our store sits on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, and we also deliver countrywide.
Designed for schools, colleges, photo studios and hospitality teams, the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge supplies the warm tones in certificates, timetables, wall charts and event programmes. Yellow rarely prints alone; it blends with magenta for reds and oranges and with cyan for greens. When it runs low, grass turns blue, gold seals look flat and sunsets come out pink. Head teachers and bursars in Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu feel this at the end of every term, when report forms and prize certificates pile up. A sealed spare HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge keeps that printing on track through the busiest week of the school year.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that cannot say where their toner came from, Mascom International stocks only original HP cartridges, each carrying its part number on the carton. Customers across Nairobi tell us that original yellow fixed the uneven greens and dull golds they saw with refilled cartridges. School administrators from Kiambu to Machakos order the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge on WhatsApp and pay through M-Pesa once it lands at the school gate. Visit our CBD store to see the seal for yourself, or message us your printer model for delivery today.
Common Questions About the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge
What does the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge sell for in Kenya?
Mascom International sells the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge for KSh 17,900 in Nairobi CBD, brand new and still in HP's sealed carton. For that you get one original cartridge with part number W2302A and a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects. Delivery across Kenya is pay-on-arrival, so you only pay after inspecting the box. The 230A cyan and magenta are also KSh 17,900, and the 230A black costs KSh 15,150.
Should I refill my old yellow cartridge in Nairobi or buy the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
Buy the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge if colour accuracy and a reliable page count matter more than the lowest price. Refilling at a Nairobi bureau costs less upfront, but toner quality varies, worn parts are reused and the chip may still report the cartridge as empty. HP+ printers are built to accept original cartridges only. A refill can suit internal drafts on a standard model; for certificates, client work or an HP+ printer, choose the original cartridge.
Which HP Color LaserJet Pro models accept the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
The HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge is accepted by the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 series and the MFP 4301-4303 series. Popular models include the 4203dn, 4203dw, MFP 4303dw, MFP 4303fdn and MFP 4303fdw. HP+ editions, such as the 4203dwe and MFP 4303fdwe, take it as well. It does not fit Color LaserJet Pro M454 or M479 printers. A quick photo of your printer's model label on WhatsApp lets us confirm the match.
What is the cost per page of the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
The HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge works out to about KSh 9.94 per page, dividing its KSh 17,900 price by HP's rated 1,800 pages. That figure covers yellow toner only at ISO/IEC 19798 coverage, not paper or the other three colours. Pages with big yellow or green areas, such as wall charts and photo prints, cost more. Schools can cut yellow use by printing internal drafts in greyscale and saving colour for final copies.
Does dust or heat in Kenya harm the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge?
Dust and heat will not harm a sealed HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge, but they can affect it once it is installed in an open, dusty room. In dry areas such as Garissa, Isiolo and Nairobi in the dry season, keep the printer's doors and paper tray closed between jobs. Store spares in their carton in a shaded cupboard, out of direct sun and away from hot windows. Wipe dust off the printer's exterior with a dry cloth, never a damp one.
Is the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge suitable for schools printing certificates and report forms?
Yes, the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge suits schools that print certificates, report forms, timetables and classroom displays on a Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 or MFP 4301-4303. Original HP yellow keeps gold borders, green crests and orange headings even across a full class set. Schools that print colour mainly at the end of each term often get a term or more from one cartridge. Bursars can budget the cost per page in advance using HP's rated yield.
Who should buy the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge, and who is better served by something else?
Buy the HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge if your printer is a Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 or MFP 4301-4303 and you print colour in steady, moderate amounts. Schools, hotels, studios and small offices fit that pattern well. If you print thousands of colour pages every month, HP's high-yield 230X yellow suits you better. If your HP colour laser is an older M454 or M479, you need a different cartridge family altogether.
How can I tell an original HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge from a counterfeit?
An original HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge arrives in a sealed HP carton printed with part number W2302A and carrying HP's security label. Counterfeits often show blurred printing, missing seals or a part number that does not match the colour. Buying from a walk-in store with a fixed address, such as Mascom International on Kimathi Street, gives you someone to hold accountable. You can inspect the box in person or on delivery before paying a shilling.
Technical Specifications
Page Yield and Print Quality
- HP's rated yield is 1,800 pages under ISO/IEC 19798, a common test that lets buyers weigh cartridges on equal terms.
- Yellow is one of the three printing colours; it mixes with cyan for greens and with magenta for reds and oranges.
- Wall charts, sunflower-bright posters and green-heavy photos draw more yellow than text pages with small coloured headings.
- Original HP yellow stays even across long jobs, so the gold on certificate number one matches the last of the set.
- Healthy yellow levels keep greens leafy, golds rich and skin tones warm instead of bluish or flat.
Printer Compatibility
- Works in each printer of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201-4203 line, including the widely used 4203dn and 4203dw.
- Works in each multifunction model of the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301-4303 line, such as the MFP 4303dw and MFP 4303fdw.
- Supported by HP+ editions like the 4203dwe and MFP 4303fdwe, which are set up to run on original HP supplies alone.
- Occupies the yellow slot only; the cyan, magenta and black slots each need their own 230A cartridge alongside it.
- Will not fit earlier Color LaserJet Pro M454 or M479 printers, which rely on a separate HP cartridge family.
Cartridge Build and Technology
- Genuine HP manufacture with a yellow-coded label, plus part number W2302A shown on the outer carton for checking.
- Built-in HP chip feeds toner levels to the printer's control panel, giving you warning well before yellow runs dry.
- Supplied in a sealed protective bag within HP's carton, shielding the toner from dust in transit and on the shelf.
- Shaped for its own colour position, so even a rushed swap during exam week cannot put it in the wrong slot.
- Installs straight from the bag with no refilling, chip swapping or extra tools, so anyone in the office can fit it.
Running Cost
- Price of KSh 17,900 against HP's rated 1,800 pages gives about KSh 9.94 per page of yellow coverage.
- Printing 50 certificates at rated coverage uses about KSh 497 worth of yellow, before paper and other colours.
- A 300-page batch of report forms at rated coverage draws roughly KSh 2,983 of yellow toner.
- A complete 230A set of black, cyan, magenta and yellow costs KSh 68,850 at Mascom International.
- Green-heavy or photo-heavy pages use more toner, so actual cost per page rises above these rated figures.
Inclusions
- One HP 230A Yellow Toner Cartridge, part number W2302A, factory sealed and never opened before it reaches you.
- Protective inner bag and packing pieces that keep the cartridge secure on a matatu ride or a courier trip upcountry.
- HP's illustrated instructions inside the carton, walking you through removing the old cartridge and seating the new one.
- Mascom International receipt supplied with the order, which you keep as proof of purchase for warranty purposes.
- Six-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, with every claim dealt with at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
