Brother MFC-J5855DW Ink Cartridges
Your Brother MFC-J5855DW 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. For a printer built for higher-volume output, the LC436XL makes more sense - black extends to 6,000 pages and each colour to 5,000 pages, which means fewer reorders and a lower cost per page. Compatible cartridges are a straightforward way to reduce running costs, and under Australian Consumer Law, they do not void your warranty.
The LC436 black prints up to 3,000 pages and each colour up to 1,500 pages. If your MFC-J5855DW is handling a regular office or business workload, the LC436XL is the smarter buy - black runs to 6,000 pages and each colour to 5,000 pages, so you replace less often and pay less per page over time.
LC436 and LC436XL cartridges are available as singles and in bundle packs of 4 and 8 (genuine), and 5 and 10 (compatible). Metro orders over %%ship_cost%% (conditions apply) receive free delivery - a small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes.
