Brother Ink Cartridge FAQs
Which Brother ink cartridge does my printer use?
Brother organizes ink cartridges into LC families: LC101/103/105/107 for older MFC and DCP models, LC201/203/205/207 for the popular MFC-J870/J6920 family, LC3011/3013/3017/3019 for the J491/J895/J6535 series, and LC3033/3035/3037/3039 for newer business models. Look at your existing cartridge or check the inside of the printer's cartridge bay—the LC number is printed clearly.
Are compatible Brother cartridges as good as Brother OEM ink?
For everyday printing, yes. Castle Ink's compatible Brother cartridges deliver the same crisp text, vivid colors, and ISO-standard page yields as OEM. Each cartridge is built to Brother's exact dimensions and chip specs, so installation is plug-and-play. Photographers who need archival-grade color matching may still prefer Brother OEM, but for typical home and office use the print quality is virtually indistinguishable—at a fraction of the price.
Will compatible Brother cartridges void my printer warranty?
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the U.S., manufacturers can't void your warranty just because you used third-party ink. Brother's warranty stays intact when you use compatible cartridges. The only narrow exception is if a defective cartridge directly damages the printer, which is exceptionally rare with our quality-tested products.
What's the difference between LC, LC-XL, and LC-XXL Brother cartridges?
Standard LC cartridges are the lowest-priced option. LC-XL typically prints about 2x the pages of standard. LC-XXL or "Super High Yield" (such as LC107XL or LC3037) can print 3x or more. If you print regularly, the larger cartridges deliver a much lower cost per page—and the savings compound when you choose Castle Ink's compatible XL/XXL versions.
How do I install a Brother LC cartridge?
Open the front cover or cartridge access door, gently push down on the empty cartridge to release it, and lift it out. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging, peel off the protective film, and slide it firmly into the slot until it clicks into place. Close the cover and the printer will automatically prime the new cartridge—no software changes required.
