Get the code

Try it first

This is the same tool your visitors will see. It takes about a minute.

The tool fills the width of whatever space you give it, so it works in a full-width page, a blog post or a narrow sidebar.

Add it to your site in three steps

  1. Copy the code below.
  2. Paste it into your page where you want the finder to appear. Use your site builder's custom HTML option: the Custom HTML block in WordPress, a Code block in Squarespace, Embed HTML in Wix, a Custom Liquid section in Shopify, or an Embed element in Webflow.
  3. Save and publish. The finder loads on its own; there is nothing to install or configure.

Some hosted website plans block script tags in custom HTML. If the finder does not appear after you publish, check that your plan allows custom code.

Why site owners add it

  • It answers a question your readers already ask"Which printer should I buy?" depends on what someone prints, how much, and what they want to spend. The finder asks, then recommends three printers with the reasons for each.
  • Nothing to maintainCastle Ink hosts the tool. You paste the code once and do not have to update it.
  • It will not clash with your designThe finder's styles are sealed off from your page, so it cannot change your fonts or layout and your stylesheet cannot break it. It loads after your own content and resizes for phones.
  • No cookies, no adsThe finder runs in your visitor's browser. It sets no cookies, shows no ads and does not collect names, emails or any other personal details.

Who it suits

  • Technology, home-office and how-to blogs
  • IT support companies and managed service providers
  • School, library and nonprofit resource pages
  • Print shops and office-supply retailers
  • Small-business advice sites

What your visitors get, and what we get

Each visitor answers seven questions: what they print most, how much they print, whether they need color, what matters most to them, any must-have features, their budget, and where the printer will live. The finder then shows their top three matches, each with a score and a short explanation.

In the interest of being upfront: Castle Ink sells compatible and remanufactured ink and toner. Each match includes a link to the CastleScore rankings and a link to the matching cartridges on castleink.com. The embedded finder contains no affiliate links.

The code also includes a small "Printer finder by Castle Ink" credit link. Please keep it in place; it is how we are able to offer the tool for free.

Recommendations come from the CastleScore rankings. You can read exactly how the CastleScore works.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PrinterIQ embed really free?

Yes. There is no fee, no account and no usage limit.

Will it slow down my page?

It should not. The finder is a single file of about 47 KB that loads asynchronously, which means your own content appears first.

Can I change how it looks?

You control the size: the finder fills the width of the container you paste it into. The colors and wording are fixed.

Which website platforms does it work on?

Any platform that lets you paste custom HTML that includes a script tag, including WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify and Webflow. Some hosted plans restrict custom code, so check yours if the finder does not load.

Does it track my visitors?

No. It sets no cookies and collects no personal information. Links from the finder to castleink.com carry a label so that we can count how many visits come from embedded copies of the tool.

Which printers does it recommend?

Inkjet and laser printers from the CastleScore rankings, which we review and update regularly.

Can I use the full version instead?

Yes. You are welcome to link to the PrinterIQ Finder on castleink.com if you would rather not embed anything.
