To find out which cartridge will fit the printer, you need to read the information on the end of the cartridge box in the store. There is a list of printer names that it can fit. But first you need to find out the number of your cartridge.
The question of replacing the cartridge sooner or later arises before each owner of the printer. Most of them go to the store, knowing only the name of their printer, but without having any idea about the name and number of the cartridge, and it is this information that the seller asks first of all. How not to get into a mess and get exactly what you need?
How to choose
When choosing a cartridge, first of all, you need to study the instructions for your printer and MFP. The instruction manual provides information on consumables that can be used with this model. Printer manufacturers give recommendations on the purchase of original cartridges, which guarantee optimal printing and no risk of damage to the device. But the original cartridge is expensive, it is much cheaper to buy a compatible third-party cartridge. And there is still the risk of running into a remanufactured or counterfeit cartridge.
How to determine which cartridge is right
If the buyer knows the name of his printer, it will be easier for him to navigate, because the box with the cartridge often indicates which specific printers it is suitable for. This information is usually printed on the end of the package. Do not be surprised that the same cartridge can fit several printer models, just the printer could be modified and released under a different name. If the customer does not remember the name of the printer, he will have to return home and open the device to see the number printed on the cartridge. Such information, as a rule, is difficult to confuse with anything else, it is large and immediately “striking”.
If the printer is in color, then the more you need to know the number of your cartridge, because for each color there is a certain cartridge with its own number. In order not to waste time dealing with the seller, you need to take care of this in advance and go to the store with a ready-made cartridge number written on paper. If it is not possible to find out the cartridge number, do not rush and buy this device for printing, as it cannot be returned. You can try to search for the information you need on the manufacturer's official website by going to the printer information page in the "Consumables and accessories" section. Sometimes a non-printing filled cartridge can be restored, however, the price for this service is commensurate with the price of a new cartridge.
