How most users manage replacements
If you print mainly text documents, investing in multi-pack bundles reduces overall maintenance time and provides an extra supply of black ink when you need it most. All compatible items are backed by a complete money-back guarantee to ensure absolute peace of mind. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), shipped directly from our dedicated transit warehouses located in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. You can view the full range on our main Brother ink cartridges section.
Pro Tip
Always replace empty ink cartridges promptly; leaving an empty slot open for prolonged periods can dry out the stationary printhead nozzles inside the printer, resulting in streaky prints or costly manual cleaning cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix and match different cartridge sizes from the LC3311 and LC3313 series?
Yes, you can install individual high-yield LC3313 cartridges alongside standard LC3311 cartridges in the same carrier cradle as they share identical physical dimensions and locking mechanisms.
Why does my printer show low colour ink when I only print in black text?
The printer regularly draws small amounts of ink from all individual colour cartridges during mandatory printhead maintenance cycles to prevent the microscopic delivery channels from clogging.
Do LC3313 compatible cartridges include the smart tracking microchip?
Yes, these premium compatible cartridges arrive with pre-installed chips that communicate perfectly with your printer, ensuring real-world ink levels show accurately on your display panel.
