How to Find the Right Toner Cartridge for Your Printer

Finding the right toner cartridge does not have to be difficult. The safest approach is to identify your printer model and then match the exact cartridge number.

Step 1: Find your printer model

Look at the front or top of the printer, the information screen, the original packaging, or your printer settings. Record the complete model name, including letters and numbers.

Step 2: Identify the cartridge number

The cartridge number is often printed on the cartridge itself or listed in the printer's documentation. Examples include HP 952, HP 67XL and Brother TN660. Cartridge numbers are more useful for shopping than broad terms such as "HP toner."

Step 3: Check colour and yield

Make sure you are buying black, cyan, magenta or yellow as required. Also check whether the product is standard or high yield.

Step 4: Decide between OEM and compatible

If both options are available for your cartridge, compare the product details, stated yield and price. Read the compatibility information carefully.

Vonex's HP toner collection, HP ink collection and Brother toner collection organize products by supply type and brand. This makes it easier to narrow your search before choosing the exact cartridge.

Step 5: Verify before checkout

Check the printer model against the product compatibility information one more time. If the cartridge number does not match, stop and verify before ordering.

This process works for most major printer brands. The more specific the model and cartridge number you use, the less likely you are to order the wrong printer supply.
