Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the high-yield LC67HY-BK black cartridge alongside standard LC67 colour cartridges?
Yes. The LC67HY-BK high-yield black cartridge fits into the exact same cartridge slot as the standard LC67BK cartridge. You can mix high-yield black ink with standard LC67C, LC67M, and LC67Y colour cartridges without any compatibility issues.
Why does my printer stop printing in black when one of the LC67 colour cartridges is empty?
The Brother MFC-5890CN printhead system requires all four ink cartridges (LC67BK, LC67C, LC67M, LC67Y) to contain ink to maintain system pressure and prevent printhead drying. Even if you only print in monochrome, keeping fresh colour cartridges installed is essential to keep the printer operating.
How does the page yield difference between LC67BK and LC67HY-BK affect heavy printing environments?
Standard LC67BK cartridges deliver approximately 450 pages, whereas the high-yield LC67HY-BK provides around 900 pages under standard 5% coverage tests. High-volume office environments save both time and money by adopting LC67HY-BK as their primary black consumable.
