Mascom International stocks the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner at KSh 2,800, one magenta cartridge built to replace the HP CF413A in Color LaserJet Pro M452 and MFP M477 printers. It arrives brand new and sealed, a third-party compatible cartridge from Lightwave rather than an HP product. HP gives its own CF413A a rating of about 2,300 pages; Lightwave has not published a figure. The black, cyan and yellow versions are separate products, and buying the four together totals KSh 11,200. Get the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for event planners, church administrators, retail shop owners and graphic designers across Kenya, the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner supplies the colour behind reds, pinks and purples. Magenta mixes with yellow to make red, so sale banners, wedding programmes and price tags lean heavily on it. Skin tones in printed photographs also draw on magenta, which is why it drains fast during funeral and graduation seasons. A single empty magenta slot can halt the whole printer. The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner brings that slot back at a fraction of what a full HP set costs.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops offer loose refills with no record of what went in, Mascom International supplies the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner sealed, marked as compatible and covered by a written warranty. Buyers throughout Kenya report that magenta is the colour they least expect to run out, until a big poster job empties it overnight. We state openly that this is a generic product, so you always know what you paid for. Drop by Kimathi Street to confirm the CF413A code, or message us on WhatsApp and pay on delivery.
Common Questions About the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner
How much does the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner cost in Kenya?
The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner costs KSh 2,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi, delivered sealed in its retail box. The price includes one magenta cartridge, a 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. Black, cyan and yellow are separate Mascom International products, also KSh 2,800 each. If every slot needs filling, the four-colour set comes to KSh 11,200, saving you from placing several orders.
Which colour toner runs out first in an HP M477 printer?
In most offices, black runs out first on an M477 or M452, but magenta often empties next on printers producing posters and photos. Reds, pinks, skin tones and warm backgrounds all draw on magenta, so one large flyer job can drain it quickly. The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner replaces the CF413A slot alone when that happens. Checking toner levels on the printer's control panel each week helps you order before work stops.
How does the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner compare with the HP CF413A?
The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner fits the same M452 and M477 slot as the HP CF413A, at a lower price and from a different maker. HP rates its CF413A at about 2,300 pages; Lightwave publishes no figure, so we make no yield promise. For event posters, church bulletins and shop signs, the Lightwave option keeps colour work affordable. Photo studios needing precise skin tones for paid client prints may still prefer HP's own cartridge.
Will the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner print accurate reds and skin tones?
The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner produces strong reds and pinks for posters, banners and programmes. As with any compatible cartridge, shades can differ slightly from HP's own toner, most noticeably in photographs of faces. Run a test print of a photo or logo before a large order, and adjust colour balance in the printer driver if needed. For everyday promotional material, most customers see no difference worth worrying about once pages are on the wall.
Does the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner work with an original HP black cartridge?
Yes, the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner runs beside an original HP black, cyan or yellow cartridge in the same machine. The printer treats each slot as its own unit, so mixing brands does not stop it working. When a message about a non-HP cartridge appears, confirm it on the control panel and continue. Plenty of Mascom International customers mix brands this way, swapping in compatible colours only as each original runs out.
How should I store the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner in Kenya's heat and dust?
Store the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner sealed in its box, in a cool cupboard away from direct sun, until you are ready to fit it. Afternoon heat in Kisumu and Garissa can make toner powder clump in a cartridge left near a window. Dust from busy Nairobi roads settles fast on an opened cartridge and can cause streaks. If a KPLC blackout cuts a job short, the sealed powder stays safe; simply resend the missing pages.
Who should buy the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner and who should skip it?
The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner suits churches, event planners, salons, restaurants and retail shops printing colour promotions on an M452 or M477. Print shops producing wedding and funeral programmes also gain from its lower cost. Skip it if your printer uses a different cartridge, or if your organisation's policy permits HP-branded supplies only. Anyone printing on an inkjet should ask Mascom International for ink made for that model, because this toner suits laser printers only.
Is the Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner a good choice for funeral and wedding programmes?
The Lightwave 410A Magenta Toner handles the photo-heavy covers, floral borders and coloured headings found on funeral and wedding programmes. Print shops in Nakuru, Eldoret and Nyeri often run hundreds of these booklets in one weekend, and magenta carries much of the warm colour. Laser toner dries instantly, so folded programmes do not smudge when stacked. Keeping a spare magenta ready before a weekend rush prevents a stalled order on a Friday night.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Print Output
- Magenta laser toner cartridge — supplies the pinks and purples, and the reds formed when blended with yellow.
- Key colour for photographs — skin tones and warm backgrounds rely on magenta, so photo pages use more of it.
- Third-party compatible design — a generic Lightwave replacement for the HP CF413A, not a cartridge made by HP.
- HP reference yield of about 2,300 pages — HP's rating for its own CF413A; Lightwave publishes no separate figure.
- Heat-fused dry toner — programmes and flyers fold and stack straight from the tray without smearing.
- Single-colour swap — change magenta only and keep the other three cartridges printing until they run low.
Compatibility and Cartridge Code
- HP Color LaserJet Pro M452 family — print-only models that run on the 410A cartridge series.
- HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477 family — multifunction models with scanning and copying, sharing the same cartridges.
- Replaces CF413A — the magenta code shown on your existing cartridge label, so confirm it before you order.
- Magenta slot only — black takes CF410A, cyan CF411A and yellow CF412A, each a separate Lightwave product.
- Mixes with original HP cartridges — the printer reads each slot independently, so brands can sit side by side.
- Not for HP 125A, 128A, 131A or 222A printers — those machines take cartridges of a different shape.
Build and Storage
- Plastic shell shaped to the 410A design — seats in the magenta slot just as an HP cartridge does.
- Factory-sealed box — the cartridge has never been fitted, opened or refilled before it reaches you.
- Store in shade — strong afternoon heat can cause the powder to clump and print patchy colour.
- Open only on fitting day — the sealed bag keeps out dust and moisture that cause streaks.
- Tilt gently side to side before installing — redistributes settled powder for even colour on early pages.
Inclusions and Support
- One Lightwave magenta toner cartridge — the box contains no cables, tools or additional parts.
- KSh 2,800 per cartridge — the same as the black, cyan and yellow, each listed as its own product.
- Complete four-colour set at KSh 11,200 — every slot covered in one order, with each cartridge boxed separately.
- 6-month warranty — protects against manufacturing defects, with claims assessed at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — check the sealed magenta box at your door, then pay in cash or M-Pesa.
- WhatsApp assistance — our staff help with fitting and with any printer messages about compatible cartridges.
