The Lightwave 106A compatible toner cartridge is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,650, available at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This black toner cartridge replaces the original HP 106A (W1106A) and prints up to 1,000 pages at 5% coverage. It fits the HP Laser 107a, 107w, 107r, and the HP Laser MFP 135a, 135w, 135r, and 137fnw machines. The Lightwave 106A cartridge gives Kenyan buyers a lower-cost way to keep these printers running without paying genuine-cartridge prices.
Built for home offices, small shops, and study desks across Kenya, the Lightwave 106A toner solves a common problem: genuine HP 106A cartridges often cost more than KSh 6,000 locally, which strains tight printing budgets. Accountants printing KRA returns, university students printing assignments, and small business owners printing receipts all need black text on plain paper at a price that makes sense. The Lightwave 106A cartridge matches the page yield of the original while cutting the cost per refill, so your HP Laser 107 or 135 keeps working through deadline season.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock only original cartridges at steep prices, Mascom International stocks the Lightwave 106A toner as a tested compatible option. Buyers across Nairobi report that a single Lightwave 106A cartridge handles a full term of student printing or a month of small-office paperwork. You can collect the Lightwave 106A toner at our Kimathi Street counter or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. Walk in, call, or order online and pay only when the cartridge reaches you.
Common Questions About the Lightwave 106A
Which Printers Does the Lightwave 106A Toner Work With?
The Lightwave 106A cartridge fits the HP Laser 107a, 107w, and 107r single-function printers, plus the HP Laser MFP 135a, 135w, 135r, and 137fnw multifunction machines. These are the compact monochrome models HP sells for home and small-office use across Kenya. If your printer takes the original HP 106A (W1106A), this Lightwave cartridge drops straight in. Check the model label on the front of your machine before ordering. If you are unsure, send a photo of your printer to our team on +254 708 852 521 and we confirm the fit before you pay.
How Many Pages Does the Lightwave 106A Toner Print?
The Lightwave 106A cartridge prints up to 1,000 pages at the industry-standard 5% page coverage, matching the rated yield of the original HP 106A. A standard text document, such as a letter or a KRA return, sits at roughly 5% coverage, so light text users reach close to that figure. Pages packed with bold headings, tables, or graphics use more toner and reduce the count. For a small office printing 50 pages a day, one cartridge covers about four weeks of work before you need a fresh one.
Is the Lightwave 106A Toner Worth KSh 2,650 Against Genuine HP Toner?
Yes, for buyers who want the same page yield at a far lower price. Genuine HP 106A cartridges sell in Kenya for around KSh 6,000 to KSh 8,000, while the Lightwave 106A cartridge costs KSh 2,650 for the same rated 1,000 pages. That works out to roughly KSh 2.65 per page versus KSh 6 or more on the original. Students, churches, schools, and small shops printing plain black text save the most. Buyers who need certified original consumables for warranty-sensitive corporate fleets may still prefer the genuine cartridge.
Does the Lightwave 106A Toner Include the Imaging Drum?
No. The HP Laser 107, 135, and 137 series use a separate toner cartridge (106A) and imaging drum (120A / W1120A). The Lightwave 106A is the toner cartridge only, which is the part that runs out most often and needs replacing first. Your existing drum stays in the printer and serves many toner cartridges before it needs changing. If your prints show faded streaks or marks that a new toner does not fix, the drum may be due. Mascom International stocks compatible 120A drums separately at our Kimathi Street store.
Will the Lightwave 106A Compatible Toner Affect My Printer Warranty?
No. By law, printer makers cannot void your warranty simply because you use a compatible cartridge instead of an original one. Your HP printer warranty stays valid when you fit the Lightwave 106A toner. In the rare event a faulty cartridge causes a printer problem, the cartridge fault is what gets addressed, not your machine cover. Mascom International tests its compatible stock and backs the Lightwave 106A with a 6-month warranty, so any cartridge defect is handled directly at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
How Easy Is the Lightwave 106A Toner to Install?
Very easy, and it takes under a minute. The HP Laser 107, 135, and 137 series open from the front, the old cartridge slides out, and the Lightwave 106A slides into the same slot until it clicks. These printers count pages internally rather than reading a cartridge chip, so there is no chip reset or driver fiddling for most users. Pull the protective seal tab before fitting, rock the cartridge gently to spread the toner, then load it. Your printer is ready to print straight after the cover closes.
Who Should Buy the Lightwave 106A Toner?
University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University, JKUAT, and Strathmore students printing coursework on a personal HP Laser get the clearest value here. Small business owners in Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and Gikomba printing invoices and receipts also fit the profile. Churches, primary schools, cyber cafes, and home offices that print mostly black text on plain A4 paper save real money per page. Anyone running an HP Laser 107 or 135 printer who wants the rated page count without the original-cartridge price will find the Lightwave 106A a sensible pick.
Does Mascom International Deliver the Lightwave 106A Toner Countrywide?
Yes. Mascom International ships the Lightwave 106A cartridge to all 47 Kenyan counties on pay-on-arrival terms, so you inspect the toner and pay only when it reaches you. Nairobi and its environs get same-day delivery, while Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, and other major towns receive it within one business day. The few hardest-to-reach counties get delivery in two to three business days. Order on +254 708 852 521, email info@mascomintl.com, or use www.mascomintl.com, and your cartridge is on its way.
Technical Specifications
Print Output and Page Yield
- Black monochrome toner prints up to 1,000 pages at 5% coverage, matching the original HP 106A rating
- Even toner laydown produces dark, readable text for letters, invoices, reports, and study notes
- Page count drops on heavy graphics or bold layouts, since these use more toner per sheet
- Suited to plain-text printing on standard A4 paper, the most common job in Kenyan home offices
- Per-page running cost sits near KSh 2.65, roughly half the cost of a genuine 106A cartridge
- Consistent output across the cartridge life means late pages stay as clear as the first ones
Printer Compatibility
- Fits HP Laser 107a, 107w, and 107r single-function monochrome desktop printers without adjustment
- Works in HP Laser MFP 135a, 135w, 135r, and 137fnw print-scan-copy multifunction machines
- Direct replacement for the original HP 106A (W1106A) cartridge in these same models
- Check your printer's front-panel model label before ordering to confirm the correct fit
- Does not fit the HP Laser 105A printers or unrelated HP LaserJet Pro series machines
- Our team confirms compatibility by phone or photo before dispatch to prevent wrong orders
Cartridge Construction and Handling
- Sealed toner hopper holds the black powder securely until you remove the pull tab at setup
- Slide-in body matches the original cartridge shape, so it seats in the same printer slot
- Front-loading design lets you swap cartridges without tools or removing the printer from your desk
- Printers in this series track pages internally, so no cartridge chip reset is needed for most units
- Imaging drum (120A) is separate and stays in the printer, served by many toner cartridges over time
- Handle gently and keep upright to avoid toner spills before the cartridge is installed
Storage, Shelf Life, and Care
- Store the sealed cartridge in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight before use
- Keep it level and in its packaging until installation to protect the toner seal from damage
- Avoid the humid coastal air of Mombasa and Lamu by storing spares in a closed cupboard
- An unopened cartridge holds its print quality for many months, ideal for buyers stocking spares
- If toner settles during transport, rocking the cartridge side to side spreads the powder evenly
- Dispose of the empty cartridge responsibly; Mascom International can advise on local recycling points
Box Inclusions and Setup
- One Lightwave 106A black compatible toner cartridge sealed in protective packaging
- Pull-tab seal already fitted, ready to remove just before you load the cartridge
- Basic fitting guidance from our team on collection or by phone after delivery
- No imaging drum included, since the 120A drum is a separate long-life component
- No printer or paper included, as this is a consumable replacement part only
- Mascom International receipt and 6-month warranty record issued with every purchase
Package Contents
Every Lightwave 106A order from Mascom International includes one black compatible toner cartridge, sealed in its protective wrap with the pull-tab in place. The imaging drum is not part of this package, because the HP Laser 107, 135, and 137 series use a separate long-life 120A drum that we stock on its own. No power cable, paper, or printer is included, since this is a replacement consumable. You receive a Mascom International receipt and warranty record with every cartridge.
Warranty
The Lightwave 106A compatible toner cartridge carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If a cartridge arrives faulty or fails to print correctly, our Nairobi CBD service desk handles the replacement directly. Bring your receipt to our Kimathi Street counter or contact our team to start a claim.
