How to Order Toner & Ink for Any Copier or Printer — A Guide for Colorado Businesses
If your copier or printer wasn’t purchased through ABT, you might assume our supplies store isn’t for you. It is. Businesses across the Front Range — whether they’re running a Canon imageRUNNER, an HP LaserJet, a Kyocera MFP, or a Roland wide-format printer — can order toner, ink, drums, and parts directly from ABT’s online supplies store, even without an ABT service contract. This guide walks you through exactly how to find the right cartridge, how to place an order as a new customer, and why the source of your supplies matters more than most businesses realize.
OEM vs. Compatible vs. Remanufactured Toner — What’s the Difference?
Every business buying printer supplies will encounter these three terms. Understanding what they mean — and the tradeoffs involved — helps you make a smarter purchasing decision for your specific situation.
|
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Cartridges made by the printer’s own brand — Canon toner from Canon, HP ink from HP, Kyocera drums from Kyocera. Engineered to the device’s exact specifications, meet rated yield, and protect warranty coverage. ABT carries OEM supplies for all major brands it supports. |
|
|
ABT’s Recommendation: For leased or warrantied equipment, always use OEM supplies. For owned equipment past warranty where cost is the driver, ask us about compatible options — we advise based on your specific model and volume. Questions? Call 303-778-0600. |
How to Find the Right Toner or Ink Cartridge for Your Printer
The most common ordering mistake is buying the wrong cartridge — especially when multiple versions exist for the same printer model. Here’s how to get it right every time.
Step 1: Find your printer’s exact model number.
The model number is printed on a label on the front or top panel. On multifunction copiers, check the front door or the glass bed cover. Write it down exactly — model formats like Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5535i, HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn, or Kyocera ECOSYS M6630cidn each have a distinct supply line. One character difference means a completely different cartridge.
Step 2: Check the currently installed cartridge.
Open the cartridge door and look at the label on the cartridge itself. You’ll see a part number printed directly on it — something like CF226A, TK-5294K, or NPG-67. This is the most reliable source of truth. On most OEM cartridges, this part number is also the ordering code in the ABT supplies catalog.
Step 3: Search the ABT supplies store or use Quick Order.
At supplies.yourabt.com, browse by category — Toners & Ink, Parts, Substrates, Printing Supplies — or use the Quick Order tool if you already have your item code. Quick Order lets you enter multiple part numbers at once, which is ideal for offices managing more than one device.
Step 4: When in doubt, call us.
Our team works across Canon, HP, Kyocera, Epson, Roland, and Xerox product lines daily. If you’re unsure which cartridge version is correct for your specific device, we can look up compatibility in minutes: 303-778-0600 (Denver) · 719-434-4080 (Colorado Springs) · 720-389-2460 (Westminster/NoCO).
How to Order From ABT as a New Customer (No Contract Required)
The ABT supplies store uses an account-based ordering system — which means the first step for any new business is requesting a free account. Here’s exactly how the process works.
|
Step 1 — Request Your Free Account Go to supplies.yourabt.com/request-an-account and fill out the short form. You’ll provide your name, company, phone, email, and address. You do not need an existing ABT account number. The account number field is only for businesses that already have an ABT service account and want to link their online ordering to it. New customers leave that field blank and submit as-is. |
|
Step 2 — Account Activation Once your request is submitted, ABT reviews and activates your account. This is not an automated instant process — it allows ABT to verify the business and set up correct pricing, tax, and shipping settings for your account. For urgent same-day orders, call us directly and we’ll expedite your setup: 303-778-0600. |
|
Step 3 — Log In and Browse or Use Quick Order Once activated, log in at supplies.yourabt.com to access your full account. Browse by category (Toners & Ink, Parts, Substrates, Printing Supplies) or use the Quick Order tool to enter multiple part numbers and add them to cart in a single step. |
|
Step 4 — Place Your Order Add items to your cart and check out. Orders of $200 or more qualify for free next-day delivery to Front Range Colorado businesses, shipped from ABT’s Colorado warehouse. For orders under $200, standard shipping rates apply. |
|
Need Supplies Urgently Before Your Account Is Set Up? If you’re in a bind — printer down, critical job due today — call us directly. We can process phone orders and arrange same-day pickup at our Centennial, Colorado Springs, or Westminster locations while your online account is being activated. |
If your organization needs multiple people to place orders under the same business account, submit the account request form once per user. Each person receives their own login tied to your shared business account.

Free Delivery and Same-Day Options for Front Range Businesses
The consistent frustration with national online supply vendors is lead time. When a printer goes down or toner hits empty mid-project, a 3–5 day shipping window doesn’t work. ABT’s Colorado warehouse changes that equation.
|
Free Next-Day Delivery Orders of $200 or more ship free with next-day delivery to Colorado businesses on the Front Range — Fort Collins to Pueblo. Place your order by the daily cutoff and supplies arrive the following business day, direct from ABT’s Colorado warehouse. No out-of-state fulfillment delays. |
Local Pickup — Same Day Need it today? All three ABT locations support local pickup for in-stock items. Call ahead to confirm availability: 303-778-0600 (Centennial/Denver) · 719-434-4080 (Colorado Springs) · 720-389-2460 (Westminster/NoCO). |

Why Where You Buy Your Supplies Matters
The printer supply category has more fraud, counterfeit product, and consumer harm than almost any other B2B office supply segment. Here’s what Colorado businesses need to know.
Toner Pirates Are an Active Problem in Colorado
Toner pirates are fraudulent vendors who cold-call businesses claiming to be affiliated with your current supplier or printer manufacturer. They ship unordered supplies at inflated prices, then aggressively pursue payment. ABT has documented cases of Colorado businesses receiving calls from numbers falsely claiming to be ABT. If you receive an unsolicited call about your toner supply, hang up and call your actual vendor directly using the number from their official website. ABT will never cold-call your business to solicit a toner order. For the full breakdown on how these scams work and how to protect your business, read our guide on the ABT blog.
|
Watch for These Red Flags Unsolicited calls about your toner supply · Blocked or spoofed caller ID · Pressure to confirm your current cartridge models over the phone · Invoices for supplies you didn’t order · Callers claiming to be “your usual supplier” but unable to confirm your account details. If any of these happen, hang up and call ABT directly to verify: 303-778-0600. |
Counterfeit OEM Cartridges
Counterfeit cartridges — packaging designed to look like genuine OEM supplies but containing inferior fill — are widespread on major online marketplaces. Counterfeit toner can damage fuser assemblies, produce inconsistent print quality, and in worst cases cause drum or print head damage that voids your warranty. ABT sources all OEM supplies through authorized distributor channels — not third-party marketplace resellers.
Warranty Implications
For printers or copiers under active warranty or a service contract, using non-authorized supplies can complicate warranty claims if supply-related damage occurs. ABT’s OEM supplies are sourced through authorized channels, which removes any ambiguity from the chain of custody. If you’re unsure whether your device is still under warranty and what supply requirements apply, see our copiers and printers page or call us directly.
When It Makes Sense to Go Beyond Just Buying Supplies
For businesses that print frequently — law offices, accounting firms, healthcare practices, real estate companies, architecture and engineering firms — the cost of supplies is the most visible line item on the print budget. But it’s rarely the only one.
If your organization is managing supplies reactively — ordering when you run out, tracking down the right cartridge model each time, handling service calls separately — you may be a candidate for ABT’s Managed Print Services (MPS) program. Under a managed print agreement, ABT monitors your devices, ships supplies automatically before you run out, consolidates billing, and provides on-site service when equipment needs attention. Most organizations reduce total print spend 20–30% once they have full visibility into what they’re actually spending.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will using third-party toner void my printer warranty?
It depends. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void a warranty solely because you used a compatible supply — they must demonstrate the compatible supply caused the damage. However, manufacturers may scrutinize warranty claims more closely when third-party supplies are involved. For equipment under active warranty or an ABT service contract, we recommend OEM supplies. For owned equipment past warranty in high-volume environments, ask us about reputable compatible options.
How do I find the right toner cartridge for my specific copier model?
The most reliable method is to look at the label on the cartridge currently installed in your device — the part number is printed directly on it. Alternatively, find your printer’s full model number (printed on the front or top panel) and search at supplies.yourabt.com, or call our team at 303-778-0600 and we’ll look it up for you.
What’s the difference between a toner cartridge and a drum unit?
A toner cartridge holds the powdered toner that creates the image on paper. A drum unit transfers that toner to the page using an electrostatic process. On some devices (especially HP and Canon desktop printers), drum and toner are combined in a single cartridge you replace together. On others — especially Kyocera and high-volume copiers — the drum is a separate long-life component. You’ll replace toner cartridges far more frequently than drums. ABT carries both consumable types for all supported brands.
Can I order supplies for a copier or printer that ABT didn’t sell me?
Yes, absolutely. The ABT supplies store is open to any Colorado business regardless of where you purchased your device. Request a free account at supplies.yourabt.com/request-an-account — no ABT account number required for new customers. Once your account is activated, you can order supplies for any supported brand and model.
How fast can ABT deliver toner to my Denver, Colorado Springs, or Westminster office?
Orders of $200 or more qualify for free next-day delivery to Front Range Colorado businesses from ABT’s Colorado warehouse. For urgent needs, local pickup is available at our Centennial/Denver metro location (11999 E. Caley Ave, Suite A · 303-778-0600), Colorado Springs location (1047 Elkton Drive · 719-434-4080), and Westminster/NoCO location (12000 N. Pecos St., Suite 330 · 720-389-2460). Call ahead to confirm in-stock availability.
What should I do if I receive an unsolicited call claiming to be from my toner supplier?
Hang up and call your actual toner supplier directly using the number from their official website — never the number provided by the caller. Toner pirates frequently use blocked or spoofed numbers and claim to be affiliated with your current vendor, including ABT. ABT will never cold-call your business to solicit a toner order. If you receive a suspicious call claiming to be from ABT, call us at 303-778-0600 to verify. Read our guide on the ABT blog.
Does ABT carry supplies for Roland wide-format printers?
Yes. ABT is an authorized Roland dealer and stocks genuine Roland inks — Eco-Sol MAX, TR2, and specialty lines — for TrueVIS, VersaCAMM, SOLJET, and DG series printers. Using genuine Roland inks is required to maintain warranty coverage and Roland’s print quality guarantees. Wide-format substrates (vinyl, banner media, photo paper, specialty textiles) are also available in the Substrates category at supplies.yourabt.com.
