Don\u2019t let running out of ink slow down your workflow. Simply follow our straightforward advice in this guide to easily find out how to choose the right ink cartridge or toner for your printer and get back to printing quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding Your Ink Cartridges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve got you covered when looking for printer ink. To find your ink or toner cartridge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find the printer brand\/model<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locate the cartridge number<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please find more information on this below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify Your Printer Brand &amp; Model<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/infowp.cartridgepeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-display.jpg\" alt=\"Printer display.\" class=\"wp-image-14613\" title=\"Printer Display\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-display.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-display-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by identifying your printer\u2019s brand and model, which are usually found on the device itself, &nbsp;in its manual\/specifications or on the control panel. For example, do you own an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Printers\/HP\">HP printer<\/a>, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Printers\/Epson\">Epson printer<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Printers\/Canon\">Canon printer<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have this information, finding your cartridges is easy. Use our Cartridge Finder to quickly locate the ink\/toner you need. Simply select your printer\u2019s manufacturer, series and model. Then we\u2019ll show you the ink or toner cartridges your printer accepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Has your printer been discontinued? Not to worry, here at Cartridge People we stock a wide range of printer ink and toner for discontinued printers, so you don\u2019t have to stop printing simply because your device is no longer available for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Identify Your Cartridge Number<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locate your cartridge number on the previous cartridge, printer manual or display for quick identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quickly Reorder With Our Printer Sticker<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/infowp.cartridgepeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-sticker.jpg\" alt=\"Printer sticker.\" class=\"wp-image-14614\" title=\"Printer Sticker\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-sticker.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/printer-sticker-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All our ink and toner orders come with this free printer sticker to help you quickly find your printer supplies.

Consider your printing needs, just as you did when choosing your printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Focus on two things when thinking about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What type of documents you print<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How often you print them<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Printer ink manufacturers these days offer a wide range of options to better suit your printing preferences. While this abundance of choice is great for the consumer, it can also make the process of buying a cartridge more confusing, as there\u2019s a lot more choice involved than simply just selecting the ink your printer accepts. Variations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Capacity (standard vs. high)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Original vs compatible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XL Cartridges<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/infowp.cartridgepeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/xl-ink-cartridge.jpg\" alt=\"HP 301XL ink cartridge.\" class=\"wp-image-14615\" title=\"XL Ink Cartridge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/xl-ink-cartridge.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/xl-ink-cartridge-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XL cartridges hold more ink than standard ones, making them ideal for high-volume printing. They save you money in the long run by lowering your cost per page and are great for busy offices and those who print frequently. Students printing essays may benefit more from high capacity cartridges, while occasional printers may find standard capacity cartridges more practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mono or Colour<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/infowp.cartridgepeople.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/colour-print-and-black-and-white-print.jpg\" alt=\"Colour print and black and white print.\" class=\"wp-image-14616\" title=\"Colour Print and Black and White Print\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/colour-print-and-black-and-white-print.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/colour-print-and-black-and-white-print-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next consider the context in which the prints will be used. Are they draft prints, or are they going to be presented in an important stakeholder meeting? If you\u2019re mainly printing draft documents, save ink and stick to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/blog\/black-and-white-vs-colour-printers\">black and white printing<\/a>. Doing so will help to conserve your colour ink cartridges, meaning they won\u2019t need to be replaced as often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photographers should opt for ink families which contain a wider range of colours, for more accurate colour reproduction, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Epson-T760-Killer-Whale\">Epson T760<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Epson-T913\">T913 ink cartridges<\/a>, although your choice will be determined by your printer if you already own one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialty Inks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your printing requirements, you may also need special ink types, like vibrant dye-based or eco-friendly options. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/Canon-CLI-42\">Canon CLI-42<\/a> ink cartridges utilise dye-based inks to deliver superior colour accuracy and gradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before Buying Printer Ink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the price and page yield to calculate your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/blog\/how-much-you-can-save-over-time-compatible-ink-cartridges\">cost per page<\/a>. Choose trusted compatible cartridges to save more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saving Money on Printer Ink<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking to make printing less expensive, there\u2019s a few different ways this can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Printing can be costly, that\u2019s why we offer exclusive discounts for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartridgepeople.com\/info\/email-offers\">newsletter<\/a> subscribers.
