Both cost less than the name brand because you are not paying for Canon\u2019s research, marketing, or hardware development. Page yields are still measured to the same ISO\/IEC standard Canon uses \u2014 19752 for mono and 19798 for color, both at 5 percent coverage \u2014 so you can compare a compatible cartridge to a genuine one directly.

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 \u201cH\u201d 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldproducts.com\/blog\/what-is-page-yield\/\">guide to page yield<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-compatible-canon-toner-cartridges-in-2026\">What are the best compatible Canon toner cartridges in 2026?<\/h2>\n<p>These are the compatible Canon toner cartridges we recommend most, based on what our customers buy and reorder \u2014 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.
