IBM Printer Cartridges & Supplies

Compatible & remanufactured supplies, tested to OEM yield standards. One-year guarantee, same-day dispatch on orders in by 3 PM ET.

IBM’s printer line moved to Lexmark and then Ricoh decades ago, but IBM-branded line printers and impact printers are still running in warehouses, back offices and data centres. A Laser Recharge stocks compatible ribbons for the IBM line-matrix and dot-matrix printers — the 4247, 6400 and 6500 line printers and the ProPrinter and 4230 series — and compatible toner for the InfoPrint lasers, most of which are Lexmark engines under an IBM label. Ribbons are sold by the pack; match by your printer model or the ribbon part number. Orders in by 3 PM ET ship the same day from South Florida under our one-year guarantee.

Buying IBM cartridges

Two IBM worlds: the impact and line printers take fabric ribbons sold by the pack, matched by printer model or ribbon part number; the InfoPrint lasers are Lexmark machines and take the equivalent Lexmark toner. There is nothing IBM-specific about the laser supplies beyond the badge.

Popular IBM printer families

  • IBM line-matrix printers (4247, 6400, 6500, 6700)High-volume band and line printers for multipart forms and labels. These use a long-life fabric ribbon in a spool or cartridge, sold by the pack.
  • IBM dot-matrix (ProPrinter, 4230, 4232, 9068)Impact printers for forms and journals. Fabric ribbon cartridges, sold individually or by pack.
  • IBM InfoPrint lasers (1512, 1532, 1552, 1572, 1650, 1832, 1852, 1872)Rebadged Lexmark E, T and MS-series lasers. The cartridge is the Lexmark-equivalent toner; match by the InfoPrint model.

How IBM cartridges are numbered

  • Line-printer ribbonsIBM line printers use a fabric ribbon rated for millions of characters. It is a bulk consumable, priced and sold by the pack.
  • InfoPrint = LexmarkIBM InfoPrint lasers are Lexmark machines. The toner is the same part as the equivalent Lexmark model under a different label.
