Printer Ink Cartridge Buying Guide for Canadian Shoppers

Finding the right printer ink starts with the printer model and cartridge number. Canada-wide shoppers can narrow thousands of products by identifying these details before searching.

Start with the printer model

Record the complete printer model from the printer, documentation or settings. This helps separate compatible cartridge families.

Find the cartridge number

Cartridge numbers such as HP 67XL, HP 64 or HP 952 identify specific ink families. Use the exact number when possible.

Check colour and yield

Confirm whether you need black, colour or a multipack. If standard and high-capacity options exist, compare their stated yields.

Browse HP ink cartridges or Brother ink cartridges by brand.

Ink or toner?

Ink cartridges are used by inkjet printers, while toner cartridges are used by laser printing systems. Our Ink vs Toner guide explains the difference.
