Why are compatible Canon toner cartridges cheaper?
A compatible cartridge is a brand-new, non-OEM cartridge built to fit your Canon printer; a remanufactured cartridge is a genuine Canon shell professionally cleaned, refilled, and tested. Both cost less than the name brand because you are not paying for Canon’s research, marketing, or hardware development. Page yields are still measured to the same ISO/IEC standard Canon uses — 19752 for mono and 19798 for color, both at 5 percent coverage — so you can compare a compatible cartridge to a genuine one directly. Every cartridge below is tested for performance, quality, and page yield and backed by our lifetime guarantee. For the full breakdown, see our guide on name brand vs. remanufactured vs. compatible cartridges.
How does Canon toner work (is the drum separate)?
Like HP and unlike Brother, Canon builds the drum into the toner cartridge on its imageCLASS lasers, so there is nothing separate to track — you replace the whole cartridge and get a fresh drum with it. Mono imageCLASS printers use a single black cartridge (like the 121); color imageCLASS printers use a four-cartridge set (like the 067, 069, and 075) in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Canon names each series with a number, and an “H” suffix (like 067H) marks the high-yield (HY) version that lowers your cost per page. Match the cartridge number to your exact imageCLASS model, and buy the high-yield if you print regularly. Learn how yields are measured in our guide to page yield.
What are the best compatible Canon toner cartridges in 2026?
These are the compatible Canon toner cartridges we recommend most, based on what our customers buy and reorder — and for Canon, most of that demand is color. Each series comes in a standard and a high-yield (HY) tier; the HY lowers your cost per page, so compare cost per page (price divided by ISO page yield), not the sticker price. You’ll also find these on our most-popular ink and toner page.

The Canon 067 four-color set powers the popular mid-range Color imageCLASS all-in-ones, including the MF656Cdw, MF654Cdw, and LBP632Cdw. The 067H high-yield prints about 3,130 black pages (and about 2,350 per color), and the drum is built into each cartridge. Shop the compatible 067H set.

3. Canon 075 / 075H
The Canon 075 is the newest color toner series, made for the latest Color imageCLASS printers, including the MF663Cdw, MF665Cdw, and LBP646Cdw. The 075H high-yield prints about 3,500 black pages (and about 2,500 per color). If you just bought a new Canon color laser, this is likely your set. Shop the compatible 075H set.
4. Canon 121
The Canon 121 is our best-selling Canon mono toner, made for the imageCLASS D1620 and D1650 all-in-ones. It prints about 5,000 pages per cartridge, with the drum built in, making it an economical choice for high-volume black-and-white printing. Shop the compatible Canon 121.
5. Canon 055 / 055H
The Canon 055 four-color set fits the Color imageCLASS MF741Cdw, MF743Cdw, and LBP664Cdw. The 055H high-yield prints about 7,600 black pages (and about 5,900 per color), and buying the compatible set instead of four genuine cartridges is where you save the most. Shop the compatible 055H set.
What is the newest Canon toner series?
Canon’s newest color toner is the 075 series, made for the latest Color imageCLASS MF665Cdw — it follows the 069 and 067. On the mono side, the newest series is the 072/072H, made for the current imageCLASS MF284/MF287/MF289 and LBP172 mono lasers, taking over from the 071 and 057. Canon changes both the series and, sometimes, the printer platform with each generation, so match the cartridge number to your exact imageCLASS model before you buy.
Are compatible Canon toner cartridges as good as genuine Canon?
For everyday documents and color, quality-tested compatible toner delivers comparable print quality. Because page yields are measured to the same ISO/IEC standard, you can compare them head to head. Quality does vary by supplier, so read the reviews and confirm the company stands behind its product. Our compatible cartridges are tested for performance, quality, and page yield, and every one is backed by our lifetime guarantee. Consumer Reports has noted that third-party toner performs well for typical printing.
Using a compatible cartridge does not void your printer warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302) protects that right, unless the manufacturer can prove a specific cartridge caused direct damage. If your printer shows a message that a cartridge isn’t a genuine Canon product, that is usually informational and you can keep printing — and every LD Products compatible cartridge is backed by our lifetime guarantee.
Which compatible Canon toner should I buy?
Two things decide it: your imageCLASS model, which sets the cartridge series, and how much you print, which sets the yield tier.
- Match the toner to your printer. Mid-range color models use the 067; step-up color workhorses use the 069; the newest color models use the 075; older color models use the 055; and mono imageCLASS printers like the D1620 use the 121.
- Then pick the tier by volume. If you print rarely, the standard cartridge costs least upfront. If you print regularly, buy the high-yield (HY) version — and on color printers, the full four-color set — for the lowest cost per page.
- New printer? The newest color imageCLASS models use the 075 series, and the newest mono models use the 072.

Frequently asked questions
Does Canon toner have a separate drum unit?
No. On Canon imageCLASS lasers the drum is built into the toner cartridge, so you replace the whole cartridge and get a fresh drum at the same time — unlike Brother, which uses a separate toner and drum.
What is the newest Canon toner series?
The 075 color series (Color imageCLASS MF665Cdw) and the 072/072H mono series (imageCLASS MF284/287/289, LBP172) are Canon’s newest, following the 069 and 071 respectively.
Are compatible Canon toner cartridges as good as genuine?
For everyday documents and color, yes. Page yields are measured to the same ISO/IEC 19752 (mono) or 19798 (color) standard, so you can compare them directly.
Do compatible Canon toner cartridges void my warranty?
No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302) protects your warranty when you use third-party toner, unless Canon can prove a specific cartridge caused direct damage.
Does compatible Canon toner work in my printer?
Yes. Our compatible Canon toner is built and tested to work in your printer and LD Products compatible cartridge is backed by our lifetime guarantee.
How much can I save on Canon toner?
Compatible and remanufactured Canon toner costs far less than genuine, and a full four-color set costs a fraction of buying four genuine cartridges. Buying the high-yield “HY” version lowers your cost per page the most — compare cost per page (price divided by ISO yield) to see your real savings.
