How to choose the right printer cartridges

 

 

Every printer owner has to deal with replacing toner or an ink cartridge from time
to time.
So when your printer perhaps as early as tomorrow reports
an empty toner, or the approaching end of the ink cartridge,
do you know which cartridge to reach for?

 

 

 

Don't worry about complications, we will be happy to help you with your selection. To make choosing a toner or ink cartridge as easy as possible for you, we will offer you a look at 3 scenarios according to which selecting the right cartridge can proceed smoothly and quickly.

The type of cartridge is fixed, so you probably don’t need to worry about it

You essentially decided on the type of cartridge when you bought the printer, so everything is clear in this regard.

Printers with inkjet printing technology will simply require ink cartridges, and if you preferred a device with laser printing technology when purchasing, you will need to reach for toners. If the printing technology of your device is not clear to you, refer to the manual you received when purchasing the printer.

The toner / ink cartridge brand won’t make your head spin

With the brand of ink cartridges or toners, it’s similar to their type. In practice, you will therefore choose the brand of original cartridge according to the brand of printer you have purchased. At this point, the question related to the use of alternative, or compatible toners or cartridges comes to the fore.

Original or compatible?

As we have already indicated, when choosing a toner or ink cartridge for your printer, you have 2 options.

You can choose either an original cartridge manufactured directly by the printer manufacturer or a compatible cartridge.

Every printer manufacturer tries in some way to put "pressure" on users to ensure that only original cartridges are used in their devices. However, it must be objectively stated that, from the perspective of qualitative properties, compatible cartridges are no worse off either, as they have at least comparable parameters to their original versions. The difference in price is often vast. 

So whichever option you decide on, you should know that in no case will you make a wrong choice, and both original and compatible cartridges will guarantee high-quality printing.

However, to be 100% sure of the quality of compatible cartridges, look for information indicating whether they meet the requirements of the international ISO 9001 standard.

You can also decide based on yield

If you are trying to achieve cost-effective printing, then in addition to the price of the refill, you definitely should not overlook the information about the yield of a particular toner or ink cartridge in the product description, i.e. the total number of printed pages.

In our offer, you will therefore find toners or ink cartridges with different fill volumes and varying page yields. But remember that it is only stated at 5% page coverage. And when choosing a suitable cartridge, you must also not forget the fact that the cheapest toner does not always have to represent the most optimal choice. You should therefore verify the cost-effectiveness of a specific printer cartridge with a simple calculation.Ink cost / ink yield = the cost of 1 print. Such a simple calculation will tell you which cartridge is actually worth buying for your printer in the end. You must also not forget that the current volume status may change in the future, and therefore it is important to think about this already when choosing a printer. So now let’s take a look together at what choosing the right cartridge can look like in practice.

GUIDE TO CHOOSING A REFILL

1.I have an empty cartridge and know its designation

If you have an empty ink cartridge or toner on hand and can determine its designation, selecting and ordering the refill will be a truly quick process, and you can have it at home in as little as two days. And what do you need to do for that?

Nothing complicated, just enter the cartridge designation into the search box. This way, you do not need to enter the printer type or brand into the search system, and you can leave the color filter aside. The system will do everything for you and display all relevant results, within which you will receive an offer for an original or compatible printer cartridge.

The search system can offer toners or ink cartridges even with incomplete identification.If, for example, you read only the numerical code from your cartridge, the system will identify it and offer several alternative refills with that designation. To give you a better idea, we can illustrate it with a simple example. You found the numbers 3380 on the empty toner cartridge. After entering the code into the search field, you will be offered the original or compatible Brother TN-3380 black toner.

2.I don't know the cartridge designation, but I know the printer manufacturer and model

You definitely don't need to despair even if you don't know the cartridge designation, because if you know the printer brand and model, you can proceed just as quickly when selecting the right toner or ink cartridge.

The only difference will be that instead of the cartridge code or designation, you enter the printer brand and model into the search box. In this case as well, the system will present you with a suitable offer of original or compatible toners.

3. I'm trying it myself, but the selection is large and I'm not sure

Basically, nothing prevents you from searching for a suitable cartridge on our website by entering the toner or ink cartridge type (original or compatible cartridge), selecting the desired color in the color filter, clicking on the manufacturer, and perhaps also sorting the product display by popularity, from the cheapest to the most expensive product or vice versa. The search results after entering these parameters will most likely offer you several products right away. Going through the entire offer, product by product, will therefore take up valuable tens of minutes that you can use in a much more sensible way.
