HP 901 Black Original Ink Cartridge
KSh 4,500
Description
The HP 901 black ink cartridge is the genuine Original HP replacement, part number CC653AE, for the HP OfficeJet 4500 and J4500 series all-in-ones. These are the fax-and-copy machines that anchor plenty of small offices and reception desks across Kenya. A fresh cartridge usually clears print quality faults outright on this design, because the printhead is built into the cartridge.

Genuine or compatible?
Genuine, Original HP in the sealed box. Not a refill and not our Royal house brand, which is always sold under the Royal name. Machines of this age attract a lot of refilled and counterfeit ink. A leaking cartridge in an OfficeJet that also handles your fax can take the whole machine out of service, which is worth weighing against a saving. Ask us and we will quote a compatible honestly.
Why buy from Trinatech
- We hold stock in the Nairobi CBD so you can replace a cartridge without waiting on an import.
- Delivery across Kenya — Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret and Mombasa included.
- Pay by M-Pesa or bank transfer, order on WhatsApp, or walk in to The One Mall on River Road.
Getting the most from this cartridge
- Fit it as soon as the foil is open and remove only the nozzle tape; keep fingers off the copper contacts.
- The printhead is built into the cartridge on this design, so a fresh cartridge often clears streaks and fades outright.
- 200 pages assumes 5% coverage — faxes and copies also draw on the cartridge, so it runs down faster than the print count alone suggests.
- Print at least a page a week; an idle cartridge clogs faster than one in regular use.
Frequently asked questions
- Is there a higher-yield version? Yes — HP 901XL black holds considerably more ink and fits the same printers. Ask us what we hold.
- Do I need the colour cartridge too? Only for colour printing, but most of these OfficeJets want both cartridges installed to print at all. The colour is HP 901 CC656AE.
- How fast is delivery? Same day within Nairobi, next working day upcountry.
- Can I return it? Yes, sealed and unused.
- My machine is mainly for faxing — does that change anything? Received faxes still consume black ink, so the cartridge runs down even when nobody is printing; keeping a spare avoids missing an incoming document.
