The Lightwave 107A Black Toner Cartridge is now available at Mascom International for KSh 2,650, located at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This black monochrome laser cartridge is a compatible replacement for the HP 107A (W1107A) and prints up to 1,000 pages at 5% A4 coverage. The Lightwave 107A fits HP Laser 107a, 107w, and 107r printers, plus the HP Laser MFP 135a, 135w, 135r, and 137fnw series. It carries a recognition chip, so most HP machines accept it without manual setup. One cartridge keeps a busy office desk printing for weeks.
The Lightwave 107A serves small businesses, SACCOs, cyber cafés, and home offices that print daily on a tight budget. Shop owners across Nairobi CBD, Eastleigh, and Gikomba run invoices, receipts, and delivery notes through HP Laser 107 and 135 machines every hour. Students at the University of Nairobi, Strathmore, and JKUAT print assignments and research papers late into the night. A genuine HP 107A often costs KSh 5,000 to 7,000 in Nairobi, which stretches small budgets thin. The Lightwave 107A cuts that cost roughly in half while matching the same 1,000-page output, so your printer stays running without draining cash flow.
At Mascom International, we're seeing more Kenyan offices switch to compatible cartridges as printing volumes rise and genuine prices climb. The Lightwave 107A holds clean, dark text page after page, which matters for legal letters, KRA filings, and school reports. Buyers across Nairobi tell us the cartridge installs in under a minute and prints from the first sheet. Mascom International stocks the Lightwave 107A at KSh 2,650 with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you inspect the cartridge before paying.

Common Questions About the Lightwave 107A
Which printers does the Lightwave 107A toner work with?
The Lightwave 107A fits the HP Laser 107 and MFP 130 print families. Specifically, it works in the HP Laser 107a, 107w, and 107r single-function printers. It also fits the HP Laser MFP 135a, 135w, 135r, and the 137fnw multifunction machines that scan, copy, and print. These are common entry-level mono laser units in Kenyan homes and small offices. Before ordering, check the cartridge code printed on your old toner or inside the printer flap. Our Kimathi Street team confirms the match if you bring the model number or a photo of the printer label.
Is the Lightwave 107A a genuine HP cartridge or a compatible one?
The Lightwave 107A is a compatible cartridge, not a genuine HP product. It is built by Lightwave to match the HP 107A (W1107A) standard for fit, page yield, and print darkness. Compatible toners use the same physical shape and a recognition chip, so the printer reads them like a standard cartridge. They cost far less because you skip the HP brand markup. Mascom International sells it as a clearly labelled aftermarket cartridge, never as genuine HP. If you specifically need original HP toner, ask our team and we will source the genuine W1107A for you instead.
How many pages does the Lightwave 107A print?
The Lightwave 107A prints up to 1,000 pages based on the 5% A4 coverage standard used across the toner industry. That 5% figure matches a normal text page with a few short paragraphs. Pages packed with bold headings, tables, or dark graphics use more toner and lower the count. Light text documents like invoices and receipts often stretch the cartridge further. At KSh 2,650 for roughly 1,000 pages, your cost lands near KSh 2.65 per page, which suits offices watching every shilling on running costs.
Will the Lightwave 107A void my HP printer warranty?
Using the Lightwave 107A does not damage your HP printer or automatically cancel its warranty under Kenyan consumer rights. Your machine prints normally with a compatible cartridge installed. Some HP printers show a "non-genuine cartridge" notice after a firmware update. When that appears, press OK or Continue and the printer keeps working as usual. If a fault is ever traced directly to the cartridge, that is a separate issue from your printer hardware warranty. Mascom International backs the Lightwave 107A itself for 6 months against manufacturing defects.
Is the Lightwave 107A worth KSh 2,650 in Kenya's market?
For most home and small-office printing, the Lightwave 107A is strong value at KSh 2,650. A genuine HP 107A commonly sells between KSh 5,000 and 7,000 in Nairobi shops, so you save close to half on every cartridge. The page yield stays the same at around 1,000 pages, and the printed text reads dark and clean. Offices that print hundreds of documents monthly feel the saving fast across the year. If your prints are mostly plain text reports, receipts, and letters, this cartridge covers the job without overspending.
How do I install the Lightwave 107A toner?
Installing the Lightwave 107A takes under a minute and needs no tools. Remove the cartridge from its packaging and gently rock it side to side a few times to spread the toner evenly. Pull out the orange protective seal in a straight line until the full strip comes free. Open the printer flap, slide the cartridge along the side rails until it clicks into place, then close the cover. Avoid touching the green drum or the chip with your fingers. The printer recognises the cartridge and is ready to print right away.
Does Mascom International deliver the Lightwave 107A across Kenya?

Order by phone, email, or through our website at any time.

Build and Toner Composition
- Fine-particle black toner spreads evenly across the page for clean lines and readable small text.
- Sealed cartridge body keeps toner contained during transport, reducing the risk of leaks in transit.
- Orange protective strip seals the toner until you remove it just before the first print run.
- Drum and roller assembly handles routine office workloads without streaking on standard A4 paper.
- Sturdy plastic shell matches the HP 107A footprint, so it slides into the printer rails cleanly.
- Sealed packaging gives a usable shelf life of roughly 12 to 24 months when stored cool and dry.
Cost and Page Economics
- KSh 2,650 price lands near KSh 2.65 per page across a full 1,000-page cartridge for easy budgeting.
- Roughly half the cost of a genuine HP 107A, which runs KSh 5,000 to 7,000 in Nairobi.
- Plain-text documents like receipts and invoices often print beyond 1,000 pages, lowering your real per-page cost.
- Predictable cartridge pricing helps SACCOs, cyber cafés, and shops forecast monthly printing budgets accurately.
- Lower replacement cost means you restock toner more often without straining a small business cash flow.
- Buying a spare cartridge in advance keeps printing going during deadline weeks and month-end report runs.
Box Inclusions and Storage
- One Lightwave 107A black toner cartridge sealed for first use, with the protective strip fitted.
- Recognition chip pre-installed on the cartridge for direct use in supported HP Laser printers.
- Basic handling and installation guidance is available from our Kimathi Street team on request.
- Store unopened cartridges upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the cartridge sealed until installation day to protect toner quality and printing consistency.
- No printer, cable, or paper is included; this is a replacement toner cartridge only.
What's in the Box
The Lightwave 107A ships as a single sealed black toner cartridge with its recognition chip and protective seal in place. The box holds the cartridge only, since toner is a replacement consumable for printers you already own. No power cable, paper, or printer is included. Mascom International confirms the correct cartridge code for your HP Laser model before dispatch, so you receive the exact toner your printer needs.
Warranty
The Lightwave 107A carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the cartridge arrives faulty or fails to print correctly from the start, our Nairobi CBD service desk handles the replacement directly.
