Brother MFC-J4540DW Ink Cartridges
Your Brother MFC-J4540DW takes the LC436 and LC436XL cartridge family in Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow - available as genuine Brother or compatible alternatives. The LC436 black yields around 3,000 pages and each colour around 1,500 pages. If your printer runs daily, the LC436XL is the better buy - black extends to 6,000 pages and each colour to 5,000 pages, cutting your cost per page and how often you reorder. Compatible cartridges do not void your warranty under Australian Consumer Law.
The LC436 black prints up to 3,000 pages and each colour up to 1,500 pages. For daily use, the LC436XL goes further - black to 6,000 pages and each colour to 5,000 pages, so you replace less often and pay less per page over time.
