Page yield expectations for Brother LC23E inks
Brother measures LC23E ink yields using ISO/IEC 24711 test standards under continuous printing conditions. The black cartridge delivers up to 2,400 pages, while individual cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges produce up to 1,200 pages each. Heavy graphics or frequent head cleaning cycles will reduce these figures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the LC23EBK cartridge have a higher page yield than the colour cartridges?
Office printing workloads consist predominantly of text documents. Brother designs the LC23EBK black cartridge with double the fluid capacity (2,400 pages) relative to individual colour tanks (1,200 pages) to match text-heavy usage and prevent frequent black ink depletion.
Can I replace individual LC23E cartridges as they run out?
Yes, individual cartridges can be replaced independently. The printer uses separate physical slots for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, allowing you to replace only the empty colour unit while keeping remaining active tanks in service.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs completely empty while printing monochrome text?
When any single colour cartridge is completely depleted, the printer halts all job queues to protect the printhead mechanism from air intake and potential thermal damage. Keeping spare colour units available ensures uninterrupted text printing.
Is LC23EBK the same cartridge as LC-23EBK?
Yes, LC23EBK and LC-23EBK refer to the exact same Brother black ink cartridge. The hyphen is merely a common formatting variation used by some retail catalogues, while official Brother product listings omit the hyphen.
