The Brother MFC-260C is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer suitable for everyday home office document printing and copying.

Replacing an individual LC37BK black cartridge when printing predominantly text keeps colour tanks intact and lowers ongoing replacement expenses.

Expected Output and Cartridge Yields
Page yields for the LC37 series are determined using standard ISO/IEC 24711 inkjet test protocols under controlled continuous printing conditions. Real-world ink consumption varies based on document coverage, paper selection, and operational frequency, making black ink replacement more frequent for routine document workloads.
Navigating Genuine and Compatible Options
Choosing compatible LC37 cartridges provides a practical path to reduce everyday printing expenses while maintaining clean text and clear graphics. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Smart Buying and Express Delivery
If you print mostly text documents, ordering standalone LC37BK black cartridges keeps costs minimal, whereas purchasing multi-packs ensures all individual colour slots remain topped up for periodic colour graphics. Our compatible cartridges come backed by a money-back guarantee for complete peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We dispatch orders rapidly from stock holding hubs located across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Practical Purchasing Tip
Because the LC37 system uses separate ink cartridges for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, only replace the specific colour cartridge that registers empty-never discard functioning cartridges prematurely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run out of one colour and keep printing black text on the Brother MFC-260C?
While black text uses LC37BK ink, the printer requires a minimum operational ink level across all LC37 colour cartridges to safeguard printhead nozzles during automatic maintenance cycles.
Why does black ink deplete faster than cyan, magenta, or yellow LC37 cartridges?
Standard administrative printing, invoices, and letterheads draw almost exclusively from the LC37BK black cartridge, whereas colour cartridges are consumed only during photo printing, logos, or mixed graphic output.
What is the shelf life of unopened LC37 ink cartridges?
Sealed LC37 cartridges stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight typically remain fully usable for up to two years, making bundle purchases a convenient option for future replacements.
