Capital Cartridges is an Edinburgh-based business established in 2004.
From the beginning, our goal was simple: to provide a much cheaper alternative to the expensive ink and toner cartridges sold by OEM brands. We filled all our cartridges on site—refilling, replacing parts, and testing them to meet (and often exceed) OEM standards.
As the business grew, we opened more shops across Edinburgh to meet the demand from students, walk-in customers, and local businesses looking to save on printing costs.
Our Elm Row shop soon became the beating heart of the business. The larger premises allowed us to keep up with ever-growing demand, adapt to new technology, and support the increasing range of printer models. Over time, we also added new services, including on-site printing, DPD parcel drop-off, and key cutting.
To continue delivering the best possible service, we realised we needed to expand online. In the summer of 2025, we made the decision to go fully digital—focusing exclusively on supplying ink and toner cartridges. This shift has enabled us to keep our prices competitive while offering same-day delivery on many of our products.
Today, we remain committed to providing excellent service to every customer—whether it’s ensuring super-fast delivery or sourcing an unusual cartridge that no one else has in stock.
