Pro Tip
Refill ink tank printers maintain internal fluid channels using capillary action. Never let ink levels in the reservoir drop below the lower line indicator before topping up with BTD180 ink; allowing tanks to dry completely draws air into the feed tubes, requiring multiple high-ink printhead cleaning cycles to purge.

Replace the Complete Colour Set
Rather than buying colours one at a time, the 4-Pack BTD180 Genuine (from $69.42) covers the whole set at once.
Replace Just One Colour
Running low on a single colour? A single Genuine BTD180 Cyan brother ink bottle (from $15.02) replaces just that one.
Bulk Brother Ink Bottle Options
For a high-volume office, a larger pack reduces how often you need to reorder - the 8-Pack BTD180 Genuine (from $137.42) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. The genuine pack qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I top up the BTD180 ink tanks before they are completely empty?
Yes, you can refill the ink reservoirs at any stage. To prevent air bubbles from entering the internal ink lines, top up the tanks as soon as the fluid level approaches the lower fill mark on your printer's indicator window.
Why is the BTD180 black ink bottle yield so much higher than the colour bottles?
BTD180BK contains 108ml of black ink yielding up to 7,500 pages, whereas individual colour bottles (BTD180C, BTD180M, BTD180Y) contain 48ml yielding 5,000 pages. This accounts for high-volume text printing demands in daily office operations.
What happens if ink from a BTD180 bottle is left in an opened bottle?
Unused ink inside a securely capped BTD180 bottle remains stable for several months if stored upright in a cool, dark place. Always ensure the nozzle cap is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation or dust contamination.
Is BTD-180 the same as BTD180 ink?
Yes, BTD-180 and BTD180 refer to the exact same Brother ink bottle series. The hyphen is merely a common formatting variation, while BTD180 is the official manufacturer code.
