Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats. You do the books, the socials, the quotes, the customer service and, let's be honest, the coffee run too. The last thing you need is a toner bill that keeps creeping up every quarter.
This Small Business Month, we want to help you keep more of what you earn. The good news is you don't need a new printer, a new supplier or a new system. You just need smarter toner.
Why toner costs add up so fast
Toner is one of those costs that hides in plain sight. A cartridge here, an emergency top-up there, and suddenly printing is one of the bigger lines on your office expenses.
For most small businesses, a few things push the bill up:
- Buying at full RRP every time. Grabbing the same original cartridge out of habit means paying top dollar, every time.
- Emergency purchases. Running out mid-job means a rushed trip to whoever is open, at whatever price they charge.
- No one tracking it. When toner is everyone's job, it's no one's job. Costs drift without anyone noticing.
- Colour creep. Colour toner costs more, and it's easy to print in colour when black would do the job just fine.
None of this means printing is the problem. Printing is part of how small businesses get things done: invoices, quotes, contracts, flyers, labels and signage. The trick is printing smarter, not printing less.
Meet our own brand toner
Our own brand Cartridge World toner costs up to 30% less than equivalent OEM cartridges.^ It's made to fit the printer you already have, so there's nothing new to buy, set up or learn.
Same printer. Same workflow. A smaller bill.
We've been helping Australian businesses print for less since 1992, and our own brand range covers popular printer models from the biggest brands, including Brother, HP, Kyocera and more.

Five easy ways to cut your toner bill
Switching toner is the biggest win, but a few small habits make a big difference too.
- Switch to our own brand toner. It's the fastest way to save up to 30% on every cartridge, with no change to your printer.^
- Keep a spare on the shelf. One spare cartridge means no emergency runs and no paying whatever the closest shop charges.
- Set black as the default. Save colour for the jobs that need it, like marketing material and presentations.
- Print double-sided where it makes sense. Internal documents, drafts and reports rarely need to be single-sided.
- Make one person the toner boss. Someone who knows what you use and when to reorder keeps costs predictable.
Ask a local
Not sure which toner fits your printer? That's what we're here for. Bring your printer model into any of our 120+ stores Australia-wide and we'll match you with the right toner. No guesswork, no wrong cartridges, no wasted trips.
Our stores are run by people who know printers inside out, and many have been helping their local business community for years.
Ditch the empties
If your storeroom has quietly become a cartridge graveyard, bring them in. We recycle most major brands, so you can clear the clutter and do the right thing at the same time.
Signs your business has a toner problem
Still not sure if your toner bill needs attention? See if any of these sound familiar:
- You've hidden the toner invoice from your accountant.
- "Low toner" is the most-read message in the office.
- Someone printed their kid's school project on the colour laser. In colour.
- You've considered going paperless purely out of spite.
If you're nodding along, it's time to switch.
Still prefer the originals?
That's OK, we stock them too. We carry genuine OEM ink and toner for all the major brands, so you can mix and match. Many businesses use our own brand toner for everyday printing and keep genuine cartridges for specific jobs. Whatever works for you works for us.
