Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for LC67 cartridges are measured according to ISO/IEC 24711 standards for inkjet printing. Standard documents consume black ink at a higher rate, while printing photos or graphics depletes cyan, magenta, and yellow simultaneously.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LC67BK | Standard | Black | 450 | $0.13 |
| LC67C | Standard | Cyan | 325 | $0.093 |
| LC67M | Standard | Magenta | 325 | $0.093 |
| LC67Y | Standard | Yellow | 325 | $0.093 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Selecting compatible LC67 cartridges provides substantial cost savings without sacrificing print quality for daily document production. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges comparison guide to determine which option best suits your printing budget.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
If you print mainly text documents, purchasing individual LC67BK cartridges ensures you always have black ink on hand. For mixed printing, multipacks offer superior value across all four colours. If choosing budget-friendly compatibles, they come backed by our money-back guarantee under our returns policy. All orders are dispatched fast from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip for LC67 Cartridge Storage
When purchasing extra LC67BK, LC67C, LC67M, or LC67Y cartridges in advance, keep them sealed in their original vacuum packaging and store them upright at room temperature to prevent internal foam desiccation prior to installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine Brother LC67 cartridges with compatible LC67 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, you can safely run a combination of genuine and compatible LC67 cartridges simultaneously in your Brother DCP-385C. The printer recognises each colour cartridge independently via its optical sensor level window.
Why does my Brother DCP-385C indicate a colour cartridge is empty even when I only print in black?
The Brother DCP-385C requires all four LC67 ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) to maintain minimum ink levels. Periodic automated maintenance sweeps draw small amounts of ink from every cartridge to prevent the microscopic printhead nozzles from drying out or clogging.
What is the physical difference between standard LC67 and LC67HY cartridges?
The LC67 and LC67HY cartridge shells share identical exterior dimensions to fit the same cartridge bay inside the printer. The LC67HY high-yield variant contains a larger internal ink reservoir, yielding significantly more printed pages before needing replacement.
