Brother LC3033 cartridges are super high-yield Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink cartridges for five verified U.S. Brother INKvestment Tank printer models. This guide lists every supported printer, explains LC3033 and LC3035 capacity differences, clarifies the LC3033XXL search term, and covers page yields, smart chips, installation, storage, and cartridge-recognition checks. Starink currently offers one compatible LC3033 4-Pack with one cartridge in each color.
Always confirm the complete model number on the printer label before ordering. The verified list includes MFC-J815DW XL—not the non-XL MFC-J815DW.
Brother LC3033 ink cartridges are used by the MFC-J805DW, MFC-J805DW XL, MFC-J815DW XL, MFC-J995DW, and MFC-J995DW XL. These printers use four separate cartridges: Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow.
Brother LC3033 Black yields up to 3,000 pages, while each LC3033 Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridge yields up to 1,500 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 (Letter/A4). Starink's compatible 4-Pack includes one cartridge of each color with pre-installed smart chips.
Compatibility and yield information reflects the verified U.S. model list and is reviewed against manufacturer specifications. Last reviewed September 11, 2026.
Use the five-model list below to verify your printer. Each gray capsule opens the matching Starink printer page with model-specific ink and page-yield information.
All five printers accept the same four-color cartridge system. LC3033 is the super high-yield option, and LC3035 is the ultra high-yield option. The DW and DW XL versions listed below do not require different cartridge numbers.
| Brother Printer | Super High Yield | Ultra High Yield |
|---|---|---|
| MFC-J805DW | LC3033 | LC3035 |
| MFC-J805DW XL | LC3033 | LC3035 |
| MFC-J815DW XL | LC3033 | LC3035 |
| MFC-J995DW | LC3033 | LC3035 |
| MFC-J995DW XL | LC3033 | LC3035 |
Starink currently sells the compatible LC3033 4-Pack only. LC3035 appears here to explain cartridge compatibility and capacity, not as a Starink purchase option.
LC3033 page yield is rated for each individual cartridge, not as one combined 4-Pack total. Black and color cartridges also have different rated yields.
| Brother LC3033 Cartridge | Approximate Page Yield |
|---|---|
| LC3033 Black | Up to 3,000 pages |
| LC3033 Cyan | Up to 1,500 pages |
| LC3033 Magenta | Up to 1,500 pages |
| LC3033 Yellow | Up to 1,500 pages |
Approximate page yield is measured per cartridge in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 (Letter/A4). Actual output varies with page content, print settings, paper, cleaning cycles, and usage conditions.
Both cartridge families fit the five verified printers in this guide, but their rated capacities differ. LC3033 is designed as the super high-yield option; LC3035 provides a higher ultra high-yield capacity for users who print more frequently.
| Cartridge Family | Yield Type | Black Yield | Yield per Color | Starink Current Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brother LC3033 | Super high yield | Up to 3,000 pages | Up to 1,500 pages | Compatible 4-Pack |
| Brother LC3035 | Ultra high yield | Up to 6,000 pages | Up to 5,000 pages | Not currently sold |
Choose by the cartridge number, required capacity, and product availability—not by the DW or DW XL suffix in the printer name. Starink currently provides LC3033 only.
LC3033XXL is not a separate Brother cartridge family from LC3033. It is a common search and marketplace-listing variation used to emphasize the cartridge's high capacity. When checking compatibility, use the official LC3033 cartridge number and the complete printer model.
The Starink Brother LC3033 4-Pack contains a balanced replacement set with one compatible cartridge in each color. Each cartridge has a pre-installed smart chip.
Each Starink LC3033 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 warning, first confirm that all protective material has been removed and that the cartridge is seated in the matching color slot.
Protective material, cartridge seating, chip contact, printer firmware, or a temporary printer-state issue can affect recognition. Complete the basic checks before deciding that a cartridge needs replacement.
If recognition problems started after a printer update, see the Compatible Ink Troubleshooting guide.
