Lightwave 216A Black Toner Cartridge | 1,050-Page Yield Replacement for HP Color LaserJet Pro
Affordable Mono Output Built To Fit M155 And M182 Office Machines
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Lightwave 216A Black Toner Cartridge is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,500, a compatible replacement for the HP 216A (W2410A) black cartridge rated at roughly 1,050 printed pages. You will find it at our store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Lightwave 216A drops straight into HP Color LaserJet Pro M155 and MFP M182 and M183 machines without tools or technician help. It carries its own toner chip, so the printer reads levels and prints normally after a clean swap. This single black cartridge keeps your office running between costly original-brand restocks.
Small offices, accountants, schools, and church administrators across Kenya feel the pinch when an original 216A black runs dry mid-month. A genuine HP black often costs more than double this price, which stalls payroll printouts, KRA returns, exam papers, and tender documents. The Lightwave 216A Black Toner Cartridge solves that gap with the same 1,050-page workload at a third of the typical original outlay. Print clear receipts, invoices, contracts, and student handouts without rationing pages until the next budget cycle. The cartridge suits any team that prints daily text in volume but watches every shilling on consumables.
Unlike vendors who stock only original cartridges at high markups, Mascom International supplies tested compatible toner that matches page output while cutting your running cost sharply. Users consistently report clean, dark text and dependable page counts from quality 216A compatibles in busy LaserJet Pro setups. At Mascom International, we are seeing more Nairobi businesses move part of their printing fleet onto verified compatibles to stretch monthly stationery budgets. Buy in person at our Kimathi Street counter, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. You inspect the sealed Lightwave 216A cartridge first and pay only once it reaches you.
Common Questions About the Lightwave 216A Black Toner Cartridge
Which printers does the Lightwave 216A black toner fit?
The Lightwave 216A black cartridge fits HP Color LaserJet Pro M155a, M155nw, and M155dw single-function units. It also serves the MFP M182n, M182nw, M183fw, and M183fdw multifunction machines used in many Kenyan offices. These are the same models that take the original HP 216A (W2410A) black. Confirm your printer model on its front label or settings menu before ordering. Our Mascom International team will match the cartridge to your exact machine if you are unsure.
How many pages does the Lightwave 216A black cartridge print?
The Lightwave 216A black cartridge prints approximately 1,050 pages at the standard 5% page coverage used across the industry. That matches the rated yield of the original HP 216A black toner. Text-heavy documents like invoices and reports land near this figure, while pages with heavier ink coverage use toner faster. A typical small office printing 50 black pages daily gets close to a full month from one cartridge.
Is the Lightwave 216A a genuine HP cartridge or a compatible one?
The Lightwave 216A is a compatible cartridge, not an original HP product. It is built by a third-party brand to replace the HP 216A (W2410A) black at a much lower price. Compatible toners produced to proper quality standards match original page yields and print quality while saving 50% or more per page. Mascom International stocks tested compatible toner so you avoid counterfeit units that leak or damage rollers. The savings make compatibles popular for high-volume offices.
Will a compatible toner void my HP printer warranty?
No, using a compatible 216A cartridge does not automatically void your HP printer warranty. Consumer law in most markets bars a manufacturer from cancelling cover simply because you chose a third-party toner. A warranty claim only fails if a faulty cartridge directly caused the printer damage. Quality compatibles like the Lightwave 216A from Mascom International are tested to print safely without harming the fuser or drum. Keep your purchase receipt for any future claim.
Does the Lightwave 216A black toner have a chip?
Yes, the Lightwave 216A black cartridge includes its own toner chip. The chip lets your HP LaserJet Pro recognise the cartridge and track remaining toner so printing starts immediately after installation. Some older compatibles shipped without chips and showed errors, but current 216A units resolve that. If your printer firmware was recently updated, mention your model to our team so we confirm the correct chip version. This protects you from unexpected "cartridge not recognised" messages.
How do I install the Lightwave 216A black cartridge?
Installation takes under two minutes with no tools. Open the printer's front cartridge door, slide out the empty black unit, and remove the new Lightwave 216A from its sealed bag. Pull the protective seal tape fully, rock the cartridge gently side to side to spread toner, then slide it into the black slot until it clicks. Close the door and print a test page. The printer reads the chip and resumes normal printing right away.
Why buy the Lightwave 216A toner from Mascom International?
Mascom International sells the Lightwave 216A black cartridge for KSh 3,500 with pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties. You inspect the sealed cartridge before paying a single shilling, which removes the risk of counterfeit toner sold cheaply elsewhere. Our Nairobi CBD counter also stocks the cyan, magenta, and yellow 216A colours for full-colour LaserJet Pro setups. Walk-in buyers can test fit on the spot. Schools and offices ordering in bulk get matched pricing on multi-cartridge sets.
What is the difference between the 216A and a high-yield version?
The 216A is the standard-yield toner rated near 1,050 black pages, sized for everyday office volumes. HP does not list a separate high-yield "X" version for the 216 family, so 216A is the main black option for these printers. Offices printing very heavy monthly volumes simply keep spare 216A cartridges on hand. Buying two or three at once from Mascom International cuts repeat delivery trips and locks in current pricing.
