Brother LC237XL, LC239XL & LC235XL Ink Cartridges

Expected page output and replacement cycles

Page yields for LC235XL, LC237XL, and LC239XL cartridges are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standardised test pages at 5% coverage. Selecting the LC239XL high-yield Black cartridge doubles your output to 2,400 pages, significantly reducing cartridge swap frequency during large text print runs.

Choosing between genuine and compatible options

Compatible cartridges provide a cost-effective alternative to genuine Brother supplies without sacrificing document quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our guide comparing genuine and compatible cartridges to decide which option best fits your operational environment.

Pro Tip

Before ordering the 2,400-page LC239XL Black cartridge, verify your specific printer model compatibility. While all machines in this range accept LC237XL Black and LC235XL colour cartridges, select compact models (such as the DCP-J4120DW) only accept LC237XL Black, whereas larger office units accept both LC237XL and LC239XL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install an LC239XL Black cartridge in place of an LC237XL?

Yes, provided your printer model supports it. The LC239XL contains double the ink of the LC237XL (2,400 pages versus 1,200 pages) and shares identical physical bay slots on larger office models like the MFC-J5320DW and MFC-J5720DW.

Why do colour cartridges deplete even when printing mostly in Black?

Brother inkjet printers perform routine automated head cleaning cycles to clear nozzles and prevent ink drying out. Small trace amounts of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink are used during these maintenance cycles, even during Black-only print jobs.

What happens if one colour cartridge runs completely empty?

Brother printers require all four ink cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) to have detectable ink to initiate printing. If any single colour cartridge depletes fully, the printer stops printing to protect the fixed printhead from dry firing and thermal damage.

Is LC239XL the same as LC 239XL?

Yes, LC239XL and LC 239XL refer to the exact same Brother high-yield Black ink cartridge. The space is simply a visual formatting difference used by different retailers.
