LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A Compatible Toner | Black 2,700-Page Laser Cartridge for HP LaserJet

The LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A compatible toner cartridge is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,500, available at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This black laser cartridge replaces both the HP 80A (CF280A) and HP 05A (CE505A) original cartridges in one unit. It prints up to 2,700 pages at 5% coverage in HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 and M425 machines, and up to 2,300 pages in HP LaserJet P2035 and P2055 printers. The LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A ships sealed and ready to install straight from the box.
Small and mid-sized offices across Kenya keep their printing budgets tight, and original HP toner often costs two to three times this price. The LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A suits accounting firms filing KRA returns, law offices at Milimani printing court bundles, clinics producing patient records, and schools running daily worksheets. If your HP LaserJet warns that toner is low and printouts start fading, this cartridge restores clean black text without forcing you to buy a costly original. One unit covers thousands of invoices, receipts, and reports between replacements.
At Mascom International, we're seeing more Nairobi businesses switch to quality compatible toner to control monthly running costs. The LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A meets ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 manufacturing standards and is built to match original page yield. Unlike traditional electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you pay on arrival, so you inspect the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A before any money changes hands. Walk into our Kimathi Street store, or order for countrywide delivery to all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A
Which printers does the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A fit?
This cartridge fits two HP LaserJet families that share the same physical cartridge slot. It works in the HP LaserJet Pro 400 series M401a, M401d, M401dn, M401dne, M401dw, and M401n, plus the MFP M425dn and M425dw. It also fits the HP LaserJet P2035, P2035n, P2055, P2055d, P2055dn, and P2055x. Many Canon imageCLASS models that use the 119 cartridge accept it too. Check your printer label against this list before ordering.
How many pages will one cartridge print?
Page yield depends on which printer you run. In HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 and M425 machines, the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A prints up to 2,700 pages at 5% coverage, matching the original 80A rating. In HP LaserJet P2035 and P2055 printers, it prints up to 2,300 pages, matching the original 05A rating. Coverage matters: heavy graphics and bold reports use more toner and lower the count, while plain text reaches the full figure.
Is compatible toner safe for my HP printer?
Yes, quality compatible toner is safe when manufactured to proper standards, and this cartridge is. The LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A is produced in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facilities and tested to match original tolerances. It will not void your HP printer warranty under Kenyan and international consumer law, which protects your right to use third-party supplies. Mascom International backs every cartridge with a 6-month warranty, so a defective unit gets replaced.
Why buy this instead of original HP toner?
The main reason is cost. Original HP 80A and 05A cartridges often sell for KSh 6,000 to KSh 9,000 in Kenya, while the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A costs KSh 2,500 with the same page yield. For an office printing 2,000 pages monthly, that saving adds up fast across a year. Print quality stays sharp for text-heavy work like contracts, statements, and KRA documents. You get original-level output at roughly a third of the price.
Will the toner-low warning still show on the screen?
The cartridge carries a toner-level chip that reports remaining toner to your printer, so the on-screen gauge works normally. When the chip reaches empty, some HP models display a low-toner message even with usable powder left. You can keep printing by clearing the prompt, or simply install a fresh LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A. The chip does not block printing, so your office workflow stays uninterrupted during busy filing deadlines.
How do I install this cartridge?
Installation takes under a minute and needs no tools. Open the printer cover, remove the old cartridge by its handle, and pull the orange protective tab and seal off the new LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A. Rock it gently side to side a few times to spread the toner evenly, then slide it into the slot until it clicks. Close the cover and print a test page. Avoid touching the green drum to keep prints clean.
Does Mascom International deliver toner across Kenya?
Yes, Mascom International ships the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A to all 47 Kenyan counties with pay-on-arrival delivery. Offices in Nairobi receive same-day delivery, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret get it within one business day. Bulk orders for schools, county offices, and accounting firms are welcome, and stock stays available year-round. You only pay once the cartridge reaches your desk and you confirm it is the correct model for your printer.
How long does the LIGHTWAVE LW-H-CF280A/CE505A last in storage?
A sealed cartridge stores well for up to two years in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This makes it practical to keep one spare on the shelf so printing never stops during a filing rush. Store it flat in its original packaging until needed. In Mombasa, Kisumu, and other humid coastal areas, keep the sealed bag closed until installation to protect the toner powder from moisture.
