Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard LC436 and high-yield LC436XL cartridges in the Brother MFC-J6555DW?
Yes, standard LC436 and high-yield LC436XL cartridges share identical physical dimensions and work together seamlessly across all colour slots.
Why do LC436XL colour cartridges produce substantially more pages than standard LC436 colour cartridges?
LC436XL cartridges contain a larger volume of ink within the cartridge casing, increasing page output from 1,500 pages up to 5,000 pages per colour without changing external dimensions.

The Brother MFC-J6555DW periodically runs automated cleaning cycles to keep printhead nozzles clear. Choosing high-yield LC436XL cartridges ensures maintenance cycles consume a smaller percentage of your total ink supply.
