How to find the right toner for your printer

Updated

The fastest way to get the right cartridge is to search by printer model or by cartridge number. Both are printed on the printer and on the old cartridge.

1. Find your printer model

Look on the front or top of the printer, usually near the brand name. It looks like LaserJet Pro 4001dn, imageCLASS MF273dw, EcoTank ET-2850 or MFC-L2750DW. The letters at the end (dn, dw, fdw) matter for printers but rarely change which cartridge fits.

2. Or read the cartridge number

Open the printer and look at the label on the cartridge you're replacing. Common formats:

  • HP: a short number like 58A, 26X or 414A, plus a part number like CF258A
  • Canon: a number like 055 or 137, or an ink code like PG-245
  • Brother: TN for toner (TN760, TN920), DR for drums
  • Epson: a number like 502 or T252
  • Kyocera: TK numbers (TK-1142)

3. Search

Type the model or the cartridge number in the search bar at the top of any page (press / on a computer). Each cartridge page lists the printers it works with.

Standard or high yield?

Many cartridges come in two sizes. An X, XL or "high yield" version holds more toner and costs less per page. See what high yield means.
