Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use high-yield LC133 cartridges in place of standard LC131 cartridges in my MFC-J650DW?
Yes, LC133 high-yield cartridges share the exact physical dimensions as standard LC131 cartridges and fit directly into the printer's individual ink slots, providing more prints per unit.
Why do colour ink cartridges deplete even if I primarily print black and white documents?
Inkjet printers consume small amounts of colour ink during automatic printhead conditioning cycles to maintain ink flow and prevent nozzle clogging, ensuring consistent output when colour is required.
Do Brother LC131 and LC133 cartridges feature integrated printheads?
No, the LC131 and LC133 series are individual ink tanks only. The printhead remains a permanent internal component of the Brother printer, meaning replacing an ink cartridge only replenishes the ink supply.
