Choosing the right LC39 cartridge setup
For standard document printing, ordering individual LC39BK black cartridges provides an economical way to top up text output. If you print colour documents or graphics, buying bundled LC39 multipacks reduces per-cartridge costs and ensures you never run out of critical colours mid-job. Every order is covered by our comprehensive returns policy. We dispatch directly from warehouse facilities in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide for prompt nationwide shipping. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 when you buy genuine Brother ink cartridges.
Pro Tip for Brother LC39 Cartridges
When replacing individual LC39 cartridges, avoid removing empty colour cartridges until new ones are ready to install, as leaving empty slots exposed causes remaining ink in the feed lines to dry out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print in black if one of my LC39 colour cartridges is empty?
The Brother DCP-J140W requires all four LC39 ink cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) to contain minimal ink levels to maintain printhead pressure and prevent printhead damage, so empty colour cartridges must be replaced before printing can resume.
Why do LC39 colour cartridges decrease in volume even if I mostly print black text documents?
The printer performs automated background ink maintenance cycles to keep the micro-nozzles clear and prevent printhead blockages. A small amount of ink from all LC39 cartridges is used during these routine cycles regardless of whether you print black or colour text.
How does ISO/IEC 24711 page yield testing compare to real-world LC39 ink usage?
ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing uses a standardised set of 5% coverage test pages printed continuously. Real-world page output varies based on document density, graphic coverage, paper type, and how frequently the printer runs automatic printhead maintenance cycles.
