Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
Switching to compatible 252XL ink cartridges significantly lowers cost per page without compromising document crispness. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn how high-yield third-party options compare in our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide.
Maintenance Box Requirements
The WorkForce WF-3620 utilises a dedicated C13T671100 maintenance box to collect excess ink during automatic head cleaning cycles.
Experience Tip: Keep a replacement maintenance box on hand, as the printer halts all document jobs completely once the maintenance unit reaches capacity.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
For frequent text printing, standard capacity black cartridges run out rapidly; switching to 252XL black or 254XL extra high capacity keeps document production moving efficiently. Replacing individual colours as they drain reduces unnecessary cartridge turnover. If compatible cartridges do not meet expectations, they are backed by our money-back guarantee under our returns policy. Orders ship fast from local Australian distribution centres located in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip
Always power down the printer using the physical power button on the control panel rather than a power board switch; this ensures the printhead docks safely over the cap station to prevent ink drying out in the nozzles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine and compatible 252XL cartridges in the WorkForce WF-3620?
Yes, the printer accepts a hybrid combination of genuine and compatible individual cartridges across different slots without triggering system lockouts.
How does the printer handle colour ink depletion when printing black-and-white documents?
Even when printing mono text, small amounts of colour ink are consumed during printhead priming routines, meaning cyan, magenta, or yellow will eventually drop even if rarely selected in print preferences.
Will the WorkForce WF-3620 operate if the maintenance box is full but cartridges still have ink?
No, printing stops immediately when the C13T671100 maintenance box signals 100% capacity to prevent internal ink overflow, regardless of individual cartridge levels.
