Brother LC3013 ink cartridges are the high-yield option for four verified U.S. Brother MFC-J printers. This guide identifies every supported model, explains the difference between LC3011 and LC3013, lists the page yield for each Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridge, and covers smart chips, installation, storage, and recognition troubleshooting. Starink currently offers one compatible LC3013 10-Pack with four Black cartridges and two of each color.
Always confirm the complete model number on your printer before ordering. This guide covers only the four Brother MFC-J models listed below.
Brother MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J690DW, and MFC-J895DW printers use Brother LC3011 standard-yield or LC3013 high-yield Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink cartridges. Starink currently offers a compatible LC3013 10-Pack with four Black cartridges and two of each color.
Each Brother LC3013 Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridge yields up to 400 pages per individual cartridge in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 (Letter/A4). Smart chips are pre-installed, so no chip transfer is required; printer firmware and device conditions can still affect recognition.
Compatibility, package contents, and page-yield information reflect Starink’s verified U.S. model list and product specifications. Last reviewed September 3, 2026.
Use the four-model list below to confirm compatibility. Select a printer name to open its dedicated Starink page with model-specific ink information.
All four printers in this guide accept the same four-color cartridge system. Brother LC3011 is the standard-yield option, while Brother LC3013 is the high-yield option.
| Brother Printer | Standard Yield | High Yield |
|---|---|---|
| MFC-J491DW | LC3011 | LC3013 |
| MFC-J497DW | LC3011 | LC3013 |
| MFC-J690DW | LC3011 | LC3013 |
| MFC-J895DW | LC3011 | LC3013 |
Starink currently sells the compatible LC3013 10-Pack only. LC3011 is included here for compatibility and capacity comparison, not as a Starink purchase option.
The figures below apply to each individual cartridge. Do not describe the 10-Pack as one 4,000-page color set because page yield is rated separately for every cartridge.
| Brother LC3013 Cartridge | Approximate Page Yield |
|---|---|
| LC3013 Black | Up to 400 pages |
| LC3013 Cyan | Up to 400 pages |
| LC3013 Magenta | Up to 400 pages |
| LC3013 Yellow | Up to 400 pages |
Approximate page yield is measured per individual cartridge in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 (Letter/A4). Actual output varies with page content, print settings, cleaning cycles, and usage conditions.
Brother LC3011 and LC3013 fit the same four printers in this guide, but they differ in capacity. LC3011 is the standard-yield cartridge at up to 200 pages per cartridge; LC3013 is the high-yield cartridge at up to 400 pages per cartridge.
| Cartridge Family | Yield Type | Approximate Yield | Starink Current Offer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brother LC3011 | Standard yield | Up to 200 pages per cartridge | Not currently sold |
| Brother LC3013 | High yield | Up to 400 pages per cartridge | Compatible 10-Pack |
LC3013 can be used as the high-yield alternative to LC3011 in the Brother MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J690DW, and MFC-J895DW. The official cartridge number is LC3013, not “LC3013XL.”
The Starink Brother LC3013 10-Pack contains ten compatible cartridges plus one user guide. Each cartridge has a pre-installed smart chip.
Also included: 1 × User Guide.
The pack includes four Black cartridges and two of each color because many home, school, and home-office workflows use Black ink more frequently for text, forms, reports, labels, and copies. The extra Black supply helps users keep more text-printing replacements available without changing how the four-color printer system works.
Each Starink LC3013 cartridge includes a pre-installed smart chip designed to support printer recognition and ink-level monitoring. No chip transfer is required before installation.
If the printer displays a cartridge warning, confirm that all protective material has been removed, verify the cartridge is in the matching color slot, and reseat it firmly.
Protective material, cartridge seating, chip contact, printer firmware, or a temporary printer-state issue can affect recognition. Complete the basic checks before replacing the cartridge.
If recognition problems began after a printer update, see the Compatible Ink Troubleshooting guide.
Starink currently offers one Brother LC3013 purchase option: a compatible 10-Pack with four Black cartridges and two each of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
