Choosing between genuine and compatible options
If you want to reduce overheads on everyday business documents, high-yield compatible cartridges offer identical page counts to original cartridges. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To understand performance standards across both options, read our guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Managing office replacements and delivery
If you print predominantly text documents, purchasing high-yield black cartridges individually or in multi-packs keeps replacement interruptions to a minimum. For workplaces printing marketing collateral or graphics, full CMYK colour bundles ensure all four colours deplete evenly without work stoppers. Compatible cartridges include a money-back guarantee for full peace of mind. Read details in our returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We dispatch daily from local warehouses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide to ensure fast transit times when reordering Brother ink cartridges.
Pro Tip
Even if you print mostly in black, Brother inkjet printers cycle small amounts of cyan, magenta and yellow ink during scheduled maintenance cleanings to prevent printhead nozzles from clogging. Keeping spare colour cartridges on hand prevents unexpected print pauses when maintenance cycles finish.
