Brother MFC-J4620DW Ink Cartridges
Your Brother MFC-J4620DW uses the LC233 / LC233CL / LC233PVP / LC235XL / LC237XL cartridge series. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Supplying reliable consumables for this four-colour printer since Nov 2014, we note that home office setups rapidly empty the standard black ink when printing documents, making a timely step up to high-capacity options a common path to smoother daily workflows.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Brother determines page yield for these inkjet cartridges using the international ISO/IEC 24711 standard. Home office setups printing text documents heavily leverage the black cartridge, whereas colour graphics deplete the independent cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges evenly.

What to know about compatible cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Opting for premium third-party alternatives delivers a reliable, budget-conscious experience for day-to-day work tasks.

Pro Tip
Always replace empty cartridges immediately, as leaving a slot vacant inside the printhead allows microscopic ink residues to dry out, which can result in missing horizontal lines or blocked nozzles during subsequent print jobs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a genuine Brother black cartridge with compatible colour cartridges?
Yes. The printer handles each cartridge slot independently, allowing you to use a mix of genuine and compatible cartridges simultaneously without causing any print errors or calibration issues.
What is the physical size difference between standard LC233 and high-yield LC237XL cartridges?
They share the exact same external dimensions and fit perfectly into the same slots. The high-capacity versions simply contain a larger physical volume of ink inside the internal chamber.
Why does my printer show low colour ink when I only print black text?
The printer uses small drops of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink during routine printhead maintenance cycles to keep the nozzles moist, which means colour levels will decrease slightly over time even during monochrome tasks.
