Keep a Note of your Printer Make and Model Details
Toner cartridges are designed to be compatible with specific printer makes and models and using the wrong one can not only damage your printer, cause errors and faults but can also result in poor print quality, delays while repairs are carried out or it could void a warranty.
When you buy your printer keep hold of the instruction manual or make a note of the make, model and if possible, the year of purchase as this will help you identify the correct toner when the time comes to replace it.

Think about How Much Printing you Need
Toner cartridges have different page yields which identify how many pages they can print before running out and needing to be replaced. If you are going to be printing a large quantity of pages then a cartridge may be more expensive initially but it will last longer and meet your printing needs. Taking a note of your average monthly printing volume will help you determine the appropriate page yield for your needs.
If you then calculate the cost per page (divide the cartridge price by its page yield) which gives you a good understanding of the long-term expenses associated with a specific toner cartridge. Lower-cost cartridges may have a higher cost per page if their page yield is significantly lower.
It is important to note here that cost is of course an essential factor, it shouldn’t be the sole consideration. Balance your budget constraints with the need for quality and reliability. Avoid extremely low-priced toners that may compromise print quality and potentially damage your printer.

Understand what you are Likely to be Printing
What we print determines the type of cartridges and in fact the paper we need to buy. If you are printing photos, important corporate documents, proposals, or marketing collateral you will be expecting a different print quality to if you are printing items at home, draft copies of documents, homework or other similar items. The definition of the colour and images vary with different toners so it is worth seeking help from experts, reading reviews and if you can run sample pages to check you are getting the right quality for the print jobs you will be doing.
