Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Standard LC40 cartridges yield up to 300 pages, while high-yield LC73 cartridges provide double the capacity at 600 pages. Page yields are measured using standard ISO/IEC 24711 testing patterns under continuous printing conditions. Real-world output will vary depending on document coverage and print settings.

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
High-yield LC73 compatible cartridges offer substantial savings for routine daily printing without compromising print clarity. Compare genuine and compatible cartridges to determine which option fits your printing volume. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
Managing Your Cartridge Inventory
If you print primarily black text documents, purchasing high-yield LC73BK single cartridges or multipacks keeps per-page costs minimal. For mixed colour printing, value bundles prevent uneven depletion. Compatible options include a money-back guarantee backed by our returns policy. Stock up on Brother ink cartridges with fast dispatch from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.
Pro Tip
Replacing individual colour cartridges (LC73C, LC73M, LC73Y) as they run empty avoids wasting remaining ink in the other colour slots, unlike combined tri-colour systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Brother MFC-J430W and MFC-J432W printers use the same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the Brother MFC-J430W and MFC-J432W share the exact same cartridge system and accept standard LC40 and high-yield LC73 ink cartridges.
Can LC73 high-yield cartridges fit into the same slot as LC40 standard cartridges?
Yes, LC73 high-yield cartridges have the exact same physical outer dimensions as standard LC40 cartridges. They simply contain double the volume of ink and fit directly into the same printer slots.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs out completely during a print job?
The Brother MFC-J430W and MFC-J432W require all four cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) to have ink to operate. If one individual colour cartridge is empty, the printer halts until a replacement cartridge is installed.
Why should I choose LC73 high-yield cartridges over standard LC40 cartridges?
High-yield LC73 cartridges deliver up to 600 pages per colour compared to 300 pages from standard LC40 cartridges. Upgrading to LC73 reduces how often you swap cartridges and substantially lowers overall printing expenses.
