Brother DCP-J1100DW Ink Cartridges
Your Brother DCP-J1100DW uses the LC3333 ink cartridge system. This four-colour setup relies on individual cartridges, allowing you to change only the specific colour that has run out. We have been supplying high-grade consumables for this printer since Aug 2019, helping small business users manage daily printing demands effectively. Because everyday business documents consist primarily of monochrome text, your black cartridge will require replacement far more frequently than the colour units, making separate replacement options a practical strategy to minimise maintenance downtime.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Brother determines page yield for these inkjet items using the international ISO/IEC 24711 standard. The LC3333 series features uniquely high capacities for an office desktop printer, offering up to 3,000 pages for the black cartridge and 1,500 pages for each individual colour cartridge.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LC3333BK | High Yield | Black | 3,000 | $0.007 |
| LC3333C | High Yield | Cyan | 1,500 | $0.010 |
| LC3333M | High Yield | Magenta | 1,500 | $0.010 |
| LC3333Y | High Yield | Yellow | 1,500 | $0.010 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Our premium compatible cartridges deliver stable text clarity and reliable performance while keeping operational overheads low. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. You can read more about your consumer rights regarding third-party consumables on our blog at genuine vs compatible.
Best way to stock these cartridges
If you print mainly text documents and invoices, focusing on multi-pack bundles or ordering multiple black cartridges prevents sudden work interruptions. Since compatible products have a money back guarantee if they do not work, bundle options offer a risk-free method to secure lower printing costs. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). We maintain inventory across our national network, dispatching directly from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure prompt delivery times. You can browse all matching replacement items via our main Brother ink cartridges catalogue page, and all orders are fully backed by our returns policy.
Pro Tip
Always let the printer complete its internal automated printhead cleaning cycle after installing a new LC3333 cartridge before executing large print jobs, as this balances internal pressure and prevents microscopic air bubbles from causing temporary text gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Brother DCP-J1100DW reject these LC3333 compatible cartridges due to firmware updates?
Our compatible LC3333 cartridges are engineered with up-to-date smart chips designed to match standard printer firmware versions, allowing the printer to accurately recognise ink status levels immediately upon installation.
Why does the printer indicate that colour ink is low when I print almost exclusively in black text?
The printer uses small amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink during its regular automated maintenance cycles to clear the microscopic nozzles and prevent the printhead from drying out, meaning colour levels will slowly decrease over time even without colour printing.
Can I mix a single compatible LC3333 cartridge with other brands or older cartridges in the printer?
Yes, our premium compatible LC3333 cartridges operate independently within the individual carriage slots, meaning you can replace each colour cartridge one at a time as it runs out without needing to change the entire set.
