About Us

About Lakehead Inkjet & Toner

We're a Thunder Bay-based business with over two decades of experience helping customers across Canada get the best value on batteries, ink, and toner. No big-box markups. No unnecessary overhead. Just honest pricing, expert advice, and reliable service — online and in-store.


Why Our Prices Are Lower

We've built our business from the ground up to keep costs — and prices — as low as possible. Here's how:

  • Compact footprint: We operate from an 850 sq. ft. storefront with additional basement stockroom space, eliminating the overhead of large retail locations.
  • No lease payments: Owning our space means we're not passing rent costs on to you.
  • Owner-operated: The owner is on-site daily, keeping staffing lean and service personal.
  • Fast inventory turnover: We avoid overstocking and aging product, keeping inventory fresh and costs down.

The result: we confidently stand behind our Guaranteed Lowest Price — and if you find a lower advertised price from a local competitor on the same product, we'll beat it by 10%.

Company History

From 2010 to 2022, we specialized in reconditioning lead-acid batteries using Battery Doctors technology. From the early 2000s to 2025, we were Thunder Bay's go-to source for ink cartridge refills.

While those services have wound down, our mission hasn't changed: deliver the best value to every customer. Today, that means coast-to-coast distribution of industry-leading batteries and imaging products across Canada.
