Brother MFC-3360C Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your Brother MFC-3360C, which uses the Brother LC57 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for this printer since Jan 2005. A compact all-in-one printer designed for daily administrative office tasks, its individual four-cartridge system lets you replace colours independently. Routine document printing exhausts LC57BK black ink faster than LC57C, LC57M, and LC57Y colour cartridges. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible LC57 Cartridges
Selecting compatible LC57 ink cartridges provides a budget-friendly option for routine workplace printing without compromising document clarity. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to evaluate performance and value across options.

Pro Tip for LC57 Cartridge Orders
Because the Brother MFC-3360C uses individual ink tanks, replacing single colours as they run empty is standard practice, but ordering a full set of LC57 cartridges together ensures you qualify for free delivery threshold savings while keeping backups ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine Brother LC57 cartridges with compatible LC57 cartridges?
Yes, you can run genuine and compatible LC57 cartridges side by side in the Brother MFC-3360C. The printer recognises each individual tank independently regardless of brand.
What happens if one LC57 colour ink cartridge runs completely empty?
The printer requires all four LC57 cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow) to have functional ink levels to complete print tasks, even when printing pure black-and-white text.
Why does LC57 black ink deplete faster than LC57 colour ink in office environments?
Routine office printing consists primarily of text documents, emails, and forms, which draw exclusively from the LC57BK black cartridge, while colour inks are only used for graphics or logos.
