Printers take specific cartridge numbers, printed on the old cartridge or in the printer manual. Original toner gives consistent quality and protects the printer; compatible toner is cheaper but quality varies; refilling is cheapest but depends on the refiller. Compare the cost per page rather than the price, and ask whether the cartridge is original or compatible so you are not sold a fake.
Key takeaways
- Match the cartridge number to your printer.
- Compare cost per page, not just price.
- Original is consistent; compatible and refills vary.
- Ask which you are buying.

04Frequently asked questions
How do I find my cartridge number?
On the old cartridge or in the printer manual, or search by printer model.
Will compatible toner damage the printer?
A good compatible cartridge should not, but poor ones can leak or cause streaks.
Why is my print faint or streaky?
Low toner, a worn drum or a poor cartridge. Try shaking the cartridge gently, then replace it.
How do I avoid fake toner?
Buy from a seller who states original or compatible and gives a guarantee.
