Built for marketing agencies, print-heavy retailers, event companies, and schools that produce colour material every working day. The HP 953XL Magenta Ink Cartridge fits the OfficeJet Pro 7720, 7740, 8210, 8710, 8720, and 8730 families. Reds, pinks, and oranges drain magenta faster than any other colour, especially for brands with red logos or sale banners. Standard cartridges force frequent reorders during busy campaigns. The HP 953XL Magenta Ink Cartridge holds roughly double the ink, so a Westlands agency printing launch posters or a Kisumu school printing speech-day programmes keeps going without a mid-job stop. Fewer orders also means fewer rider deliveries and less chasing of suppliers during deadline week.

At Mascom International, we're seeing offices move to XL colour once they compare the monthly spend line by line. Against standard 953 magenta cartridges, the HP 953XL Magenta Ink Cartridge saves about KSh 3,850 for every 1,450 pages printed. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock mostly refills, we supply only sealed HP originals with HP's own chip. Customers across Nairobi report steady brand reds from the first sheet to the last. Order the HP 953XL Magenta Ink Cartridge today and pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya.

It saves about KSh 3,850 for every 1,450 pages. The HP 953XL magenta costs KSh 8,000 for roughly 1,450 pages, which is near KSh 5.50 per page. The standard HP 953 magenta costs KSh 5,150 for about 630 pages, or roughly KSh 8.20 per page. Covering 1,450 pages with standard cartridges would cost around KSh 11,850. Heavy colour users also swap cartridges less than half as often, which saves staff time during busy print weeks.

It fits the HP OfficeJet Pro 7720, 7730, 7740, 8210, 8218, 8710, 8715, 8718, 8719, 8720, 8725, 8730, and 8740. These printers all share the 953 cartridge family, including the wide-format 7700 series that handles A3 posters. Check your old cartridge or the label inside the access door for the number 953. If it matches, the XL magenta drops into the magenta slot with one push. Send your printer model on WhatsApp and we confirm before dispatch.

A team printing 300 colour pages a week will get roughly five weeks from one cartridge. That estimate assumes typical office coverage under the ISO/IEC 24711 test. Posters with large red backgrounds or full-bleed product photos use magenta faster and shorten that period. Brochures with small red headings and logo accents stretch it further. Watching the ink-level screen each Monday gives enough warning to reorder from us before a campaign deadline arrives.

Yes. Both cartridges contain the same pigment-based magenta ink with a 7 picolitre drop size. A brand red printed from the XL looks identical to one printed from the standard cartridge. That consistency matters for agencies producing client proofs, where a shift in shade can lead to rejected work. The only difference is volume: 18.5ml inside the XL against 9ml inside the standard 953 magenta. The printer reads the larger capacity automatically from the chip.

Yes. Each colour slot in an OfficeJet Pro printer works independently, so mixing sizes causes no problem. Many offices choose XL for the colour they use most and standard for the others. A business with a red brand identity, for example, might run XL magenta alongside standard cyan and yellow. That approach spreads spending according to real usage. Our team can review your print jobs on WhatsApp and suggest the right mix of standard and XL cartridges.

Yes. It is an original HP cartridge, sealed in HP retail packaging with the F6U17AE product code and an HP hologram label. Mascom International does not refill, repackage, or relabel cartridges. You can check the seal and the printed end-of-warranty date at our Kimathi Street counter before paying. Refilled magenta cartridges often trigger chip errors on OfficeJet Pro printers after firmware updates. The original HP chip avoids those errors and keeps HP's cartridge warranty in place.

Pigment ink resists smudging and water better than dye-based ink, which helps flyers survive damp hands and light drizzle. Pigment particles sit on top of the paper fibres rather than soaking in, so colours stay put. That matters for event flyers handed out along Moi Avenue or leaflets posted at bus stages. Direct sun over many weeks will still fade any inkjet print. For short campaigns and daily handouts, pigment magenta performs reliably on plain and matte paper.

Red, pink, orange, and purple all draw heavily on magenta, and skin tones in photographs use it too. Offices with red branding, sale posters, or staff photos on ID cards commonly empty magenta first. Printing colour for internal drafts also wastes it. Switch drafts to grayscale in the print dialog, and reserve colour for documents that leave the office. If magenta still drains quickly, the XL cartridge is the sensible choice because it halves the number of swaps.

Yes. Mascom International supplies multiple units for agencies, schools, churches, and county offices, with an invoice for your procurement file. Share your monthly colour volume on WhatsApp, and we recommend a sensible stock level. Nairobi orders arrive the same day by rider. Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret receive their order within 1 business day. You can pay by M-Pesa or bank transfer, or pay on arrival after checking every seal and printed date.
