HP 203A Yellow Toner Laserjet (CF542A)
KSh 7,500
Description
The HP 203A yellow toner cartridge is the genuine Original HP replacement, part number CF542A, for the HP Color LaserJet Pro M254 and MFP M281 series. These sit a generation on from the M252 range and are among the more common colour lasers in Kenyan offices today, which makes this a cartridge worth keeping a spare of.

Genuine or compatible?
Genuine, Original HP in the sealed box. Not a refill and not our Royal house brand, which we always sell as Royal. Colour matching is where non-genuine toner shows itself fastest on a four-cartridge machine. If one cartridge uses a slightly different pigment, greens and greys shift across every page and the cause is hard to trace back to a single cartridge. Mixing genuine and compatible cartridges in a colour laser is the most common source of colour complaints we see at the counter.

Getting the most from this cartridge
- Rock the cartridge gently before installing and pull the sealing strip out in one steady movement.
- Handle it by the ends. The drum underneath marks easily and a fingerprint shows on every page afterwards.
- On a four-cartridge machine, replace only what is empty. Buying singly is where the saving on this range comes from.
- 1,300 pages assumes 5% coverage of yellow specifically. Reports with shaded tables and colour headers will fall short of it.
