Brother LC436 & LC436XL Ink Cartridges
If your printer is one of the nine Brother MFC models that take LC436/LC436XL Ink Cartridges - the MFC-J4340DWXL, MFC-J4440DW, MFC-J4540DW, MFC-J4540DWXL, MFC-J5955DW, MFC-J6555DW, MFC-J6555DWXL, MFC-J6955DW, or MFC-J6957DW - you'll find the full range here, from singles through to multipacks.
The standard LC436 black cartridge prints around 3,000 pages; colours (cyan, magenta, yellow) come in at 1,500 pages each. If you print regularly, the LC436XL is worth the step up - black hits 6,000 pages and each colour reaches 5,000, which works out considerably cheaper per page. Genuine and compatible options are both stocked across the full range - compatible cartridges produce fade-resistant colour output, and under Australian Consumer Law, using a compatible cartridge does not void your Brother printer warranty.
LC436 and LC436XL cartridges are available as singles and in bundle packs of 4 and 8 (genuine), and 5 and 10 (compatible). Metro orders over $99 (conditions apply) receive free delivery - a small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes. See the shipping page for details.
