Let’s keep your prints sharp and your wallet happy!

1. Find Your Printer’s Model Number

Step: Locate the model number

  • Where? Check the front, back, or inside your printer. Look for a sticker/label with words like Bizhub C364 or TASKalfa 6003.

Konica Minolta bizhub 224e Model Number

  • Online Search: With the printer’s model number, you can do a quick Google search to find the compatible toner cartridge for your machine.

2. Match Your Toner Like a Pro

Option A: Check the manual

  • Flip to the “Supplies” or “Maintenance” section depending on brand. It’ll list toner numbers like HP 106A or HP 502A.

Option B: Look at your old toner

  • Toner cartridges have a number printed on them. Match this to your new toner!

3. Original vs. Compatible Toners: What’s Best?

✅ Original Toners

  • Perfect fit: Designed specifically for your printer.
  • Reliability: Known for their reliability and durability, with a lower risk of jams or malfunctions. 
  • Warranty-safe: Keeps your printer’s warranty intact.
  • Expensive but worth it: Typically more expensive than compatible options.

💎  Compatible Toners

  • Pocket Friendly: Significantly cheaper than OEM toners
  • Print Quality That Rivals Genuine Toners: Think only genuine toners deliver picture-perfect prints? Our premium compatible cartridges prove otherwise. They are made with advanced technology and strict quality checks, and thus produce sharp text, vibrant colors, and professional-grade results at a fraction of the cost.
  • Easily Available: Struggling to find a toner for your older printer? OEMs often discontinue cartridges for upgrades, but our compatible toners keep even discontinued copier models running. Whether you’re using a copier older than your eldest grandchild, we stock cartridges for printers long forgotten by manufacturers. Schools in Malaba and clinics in Lodwar rely on us to avoid costly upgrades—because why replace a perfectly good machine?
  • Could Void Warranty: Using compatible toner cartridges can void or complicate your printer’s warranty. For this talk to us first—we’ll find a solution!
  • Best For: Budget-conscious businesses

Note: Some compatible toners might leak, jam, or damage your printer, which is the reason we are committed to offering only high-quality options. Our compatible toners are tried and tested by our team of professional technicians.

4. High-Yield Toners: Save Cash, Print More

  • Standard toner: Good for light use (e.g., home/small office).
  • High-yield toner: Lasts 2-3x longer and prints more pages without needing to be replacedPerfect for schools, busy offices, or anyone tired of replacing cartridges!
