Suited to schools, agricultural cooperatives, NGOs, hotels, and design studios that print colour documents every week. The HP 953XL Yellow Ink Cartridge fits the OfficeJet Pro 7720, 7740, 8210, 8710, 8720, and 8730 families. Yellow rarely stands alone on a page, yet it shapes most of the colours people notice. Greens on farm reports, oranges on safety notices, and warm skin tones in staff photos all depend on it. When yellow runs low, greens turn bluish and reds drift towards pink. The HP 953XL Yellow Ink Cartridge keeps those shades accurate for an Eldoret cooperative or a Naivasha hotel printing guest menus.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell refilled yellow cartridges without disclosure, Mascom International supplies only sealed HP originals with HP's own chip. The HP 953XL Yellow Ink Cartridge holds more than twice the ink of the standard 953 yellow, cutting how often staff reorder. Our community of school bursars and office managers consistently finds the XL colour range easier to budget for across a term. Walk in to check the seal, or order the HP 953XL Yellow Ink Cartridge by WhatsApp and pay on arrival in any of Kenya's 47 counties.

It fits the HP OfficeJet Pro 7720, 7730, 7740, 8210, 8218, 8710, 8715, 8718, 8719, 8720, 8725, 8730, and 8740. All of these printers use the 953 cartridge family, including the wide-format 7700 series that prints A3 charts and posters. Look for the number 953 on your old yellow cartridge or inside the access door. If it matches, this XL yellow clicks into the yellow slot. Send your printer model on WhatsApp and we confirm the fit before dispatch.

Yellow is running low or a yellow nozzle is partly blocked. Printers build green by mixing cyan and yellow, so weak yellow leaves mostly cyan on the page. Oranges and reds suffer the same way, turning pinkish when yellow is short. Check the ink-level screen first. If yellow shows low, replace it with the HP 953XL yellow. If levels look healthy, run the printhead cleaning routine from the printer's settings menu and print a test page.

HP rates it at about 1,450 pages under the ISO/IEC 24711 colour test in an OfficeJet Pro 8700 series printer. That test mixes text, charts, and small graphics at typical office coverage. Pages with large green fields, orange banners, or warm-toned photos use more yellow and reduce the count. A school printing 250 colour pages weekly might get close to six weeks from one cartridge. Documents with small coloured headings last considerably longer on the same cartridge.

Yes, for anyone printing colour regularly. The HP 953XL yellow costs KSh 8,000 for about 1,450 pages, which is near KSh 5.50 per page. The standard 953 yellow holds 630 pages, so the XL prints roughly 2.3 times as many pages from one cartridge. That means fewer orders, fewer deliveries, and fewer interrupted print jobs. Ask our team for current standard yellow pricing if you print colour only occasionally and prefer a smaller upfront spend.

Yes. Every colour slot in an OfficeJet Pro printer is independent, so mixing XL and standard sizes works normally. Print quality does not change, because both sizes use the same pigment ink formula and 7 picolitre drop. Many offices buy XL for the colour they use most and standard for the rest. An agricultural cooperative printing green crop reports, for example, might run XL yellow and XL cyan. Our team can suggest a sensible mix based on your print jobs.

Yes. It is an original HP 953XL Yellow Ink Cartridge, sealed in HP retail packaging with the F6U18AE product code and HP's 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 yellow cartridges sold online often fail the HP chip check after firmware updates. The original chip avoids that stall and keeps HP's cartridge warranty valid.

HP rates operation from 5 to 35°C and 10 to 90% relative humidity, which covers most Kenyan offices from Garissa to Kericho. Dust matters more for the printer than the cartridge, so keep the access door closed and cover the printer overnight. Avoid placing printers beside sunny windows, where trapped heat can pass 35°C by mid-afternoon. Sealed cartridges tolerate storage between -40 and 60°C. Keep spares inside their foil bags until installation day.

Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery, and you can pay by M-Pesa, card, or cash on arrival. Eldoret, Kisumu, Nakuru, Mombasa, Naivasha, and every other major town receive it within 1 business day. Pay-on-arrival lets you check the HP seal, product code, and printed date before paying anything. Schools, cooperatives, and NGOs can request an invoice for their procurement records. Walk-in customers can buy over the counter Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
