Pro Tip for Brother LC536 Ink Cartridges
Brother MFC-J printers use individual ink channels that consume small amounts of all colours during routine head cleaning. Leaving the printer powered on allows automatic maintenance cycles to run efficiently without wasting ink from full printhead flush cycles upon power-up.
Choose Between Brother LC536 & LC536XL Ink Cartridges
Replace the Complete Colour Set
Rather than buying colours one at a time, the 4-Pack LC536 Genuine (from $204.95) covers the whole set at once and qualifies for free delivery.
Print More with XL Cartridges
If you print often, the 4-Pack LC536XL Genuine (from $306.05) gives the same colour coverage with more pages per cartridge and also qualifies for free delivery.
Replace Just One Colour
Running low on a single colour? A single Genuine LC536 Cyan cartridge (from $46.01) replaces just that one.
Bulk Cartridge Options
Printing at higher volumes? A larger pack means fewer reorders - the 8-Pack LC536XXL Genuine (from $791.61) is the equivalent option if you'd rather stick with official ink. The genuine pack qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the LC536XXL black cartridge last so much longer than standard LC536BK?
The LC536XXLBK contains a significantly larger internal ink reservoir designed specifically for high-capacity office printing. It holds enough ink to produce up to 5,000 pages, compared to 1,000 pages from standard LC536BK, while maintaining the same exterior physical slot dimensions.
Can I mix standard LC536 cartridges with LC536XL or LC536XXL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, you can freely mix standard LC536, high-yield LC536XL, and ultra-high-yield LC536XXL cartridges across different colour slots. The printer independently reads each cartridge's internal chip to track individual ink levels regardless of yield size.
What happens if one colour LC536 cartridge runs out while printing a black and white document?
Brother MFC-J printers require all four ink slots (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) to have active cartridges installed with minimum threshold ink. If a single colour cartridge empties completely, printing halts to prevent air from entering the permanent printhead nozzle channels.
Is LC536XL the same as LC 536 XL?
Yes, LC536XL and LC 536 XL refer to the exact same Brother high-yield ink cartridge. The space is simply a formatting variation used by some retail catalogues; both represent the genuine high-yield cartridge.
