Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Brother MFC-J5330DW and MFC-J6530DW use the exact same ink cartridges?
Yes, both printers belong to the same wide-format inkjet family and use identical LC3317 standard yield and LC3319XL high yield ink cartridges.
Can I mix standard LC3317 and high-yield LC3319XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, you can combine LC3317 and LC3319XL cartridges freely. For example, using a high-yield LC3319XLBK black cartridge alongside standard LC3317 colour cartridges is a popular setup for document-heavy printing.
Will the printer operate if one of the colour cartridges runs out completely?
Brother business inkjets require all four cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) to have ink to execute print jobs and maintain internal head health. Replacing depleted colour cartridges promptly ensures uninterrupted operation.
What happens if an XL cartridge is installed-does it require a larger cartridge bay?
No extra space is required. LC3319XL high-yield cartridges have the exact same exterior footprint as standard LC3317 cartridges and fit into the standard cartridge slots inside the MFC-J5330DW and MFC-J6530DW.
