Photo Requirements
Photos help us verify your cartridges and give you the most accurate quote possible.
Show the Part Number
Photograph the front of the box or cartridge clearly showing the OEM part number (e.g. HP 952XL, TN-760, CF258X). This is the most important photo.
Show the Packaging
For sealed cartridges, include a photo of the intact seal or shrink wrap. For open box, show the cartridge and any included items side by side.
Show the Expiration Date
If visible, photograph the expiration date printed on the box or cartridge. This helps us price accurately, especially for older stock.
How to Find Your Cartridge Part Number
The part number is what we use to look up the value of your cartridge. Here's where to find it:
- Check the box: The part number is almost always printed on the front of the cartridge box. Look for a code like "HP 952XL", "CF258X", "TN-760", or "PGI-280XXL".
- Check the cartridge: If you don't have the box, the part number is usually on a label on the cartridge itself.
- Check your printer settings: Many printers display the compatible cartridge number in their supply status menu.
- Search by printer model: If all else fails, Google your printer model + "compatible cartridge" to find the OEM part number.
- Not sure? Just ask: Submit a quote with whatever info you have. Include your printer model in the notes and we'll identify the right part number for you.
