Nothing to install
Check it right here.
All you need are two links: the shop page of your Thing and the shop page of the accessory. MINE reads both – and tells you if it works.
How to copy a link
A link is the address at the very top of your browser – the line that says something like “www.amazon.com/…”. Nothing to type: copy it once, paste it here.
On a computer
- 1Open the shop page of your device – as if you were about to buy it.
- 2Click once in the address bar at the top. The whole address turns blue.
- 3Press Ctrl + C on your keyboard (Mac: ⌘ + C). The link is now copied.
- 4Come back to this page and click “Paste” here.
On a phone
- 1Open the shop page of your device.
- 2Tap the address bar at the top, then tap the address once more. “Copy” appears – tap it.
- 3Come back to this page and tap “Paste” here.
Tip: almost every shop page also has a “Share” button with “Copy link”. That works just the same.
What MINE compares
Paste the shop page of the thing you own, then the shop page of the accessory you want to buy. MINE reads the model on the first page and the fit claim on the second. It does not ask you to type a model number.
One example
A Canon PIXMA TS5350a page plus a Canon PG-560 cartridge page should come back as a fit: PG-560 and CL-561 are the cartridges for that printer, including the XL sizes. The same printer plus a PG-545 cartridge should come back as no fit. PG-545 belongs to the TS3350 series. The boxes look alike. The chip does not.
The two links stay in this browser. There is no account. The German page at /de/check is the same tool; this page is the English walkthrough of what the answer is comparing.
