Brother MFC-J6940DW Ink Cartridges
Your Brother MFC-J6940DW uses the LC432 and LC432XL ink cartridge series, with separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges. This A3 inkjet multifunction handles printing, scanning, copying and faxing for small offices. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for this printer since Aug 2022. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Offices printing invoices and reports daily often move from standard LC432BK black to high-yield LC432XLBK, then replace each colour only as it empties.
Rated page output for LC432 and LC432XL
Brother rates LC432 and LC432XL yields under ISO/IEC 24711, the inkjet yield standard. Standard LC432 cartridges are rated at 550 pages each. LC432XL lifts black to 3,000 pages and each colour to 1,500. A3 sheets and colour-heavy charts use more ink per page than the test.

Choosing between genuine and compatible LC432XL cartridges
Genuine Brother cartridges are offered in both LC432 and LC432XL sizes. The compatible range covers LC432XLBK, LC432XLC, LC432XLM and LC432XLY, plus compatible XL multipacks. These compatible XL cartridges carry the same rated yields as genuine XL: 3,000 pages for black and 1,500 pages per colour. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself remove your rights under Australian Consumer Law. However, damage caused by a faulty cartridge may not be covered by the printer manufacturer's warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide for a fuller comparison.
Stocking the right LC432 setup for your office
If you print mainly text, LC432XLBK gives 3,000 rated pages against 550 for standard LC432BK. If you print colour charts, marketing material or A3 layouts, LC432XL colour cartridges or an XL multipack reduce how often you reorder. Compatible XL cartridges come with a money-back guarantee if they do not work; see our Returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. Orders ship from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Browse the full range of Brother ink cartridges.
Pro Tip
The compatible range for this printer is XL only. Switching a genuine standard LC432 cartridge to its compatible equivalent means moving to LC432XL, so colour cartridges step up from 550 to 1,500 rated pages and black from 550 to 3,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put an LC432XL cartridge in a slot that previously held a standard LC432?
Yes. Both LC432 and LC432XL cartridges are listed for the MFC-J6940DW, and each colour is a separate cartridge, so you can replace any single slot with either size and mix standard and XL cartridges in the same printer.
Which LC432 combination suits a text-heavy office?
Standard LC432BK black is rated at 550 pages, the same as each standard colour, while LC432XLBK is rated at 3,000 pages. Offices printing mostly text can pair LC432XLBK with standard LC432 colour cartridges, then move to LC432XL colour (1,500 pages each) if colour output increases.
Do compatible LC432XL cartridges have the same rated yield as genuine LC432XL?
Yes. In our range, compatible LC432XLBK is rated at 3,000 pages and compatible LC432XLC, LC432XLM and LC432XLY at 1,500 pages each, matching the rated yields of the genuine LC432XL cartridges.
