Brother LC3037 and Starink LC3037XXL Page Yields

Starink LC3037XXL Black yields up to 3,000 pages, while Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow each yield up to 1,500 pages. Original Brother LC3037 lists the same page yields for the corresponding cartridges.

Black3,0003,000
Cyan1,5001,500

Figures are listed pages per cartridge. Original Brother yields are based on ISO/IEC 24711 testing. Actual page yields vary with print content, settings, printing frequency, and maintenance.

Page yields apply to each cartridge separately. A printed page can use several colors, so individual cartridge yields cannot be added to calculate a total pack yield.

What Is in the Starink LC3037XXL 4-Pack?

The pack contains one Black, one Cyan, one Magenta, and one Yellow compatible cartridge. Each cartridge includes a pre-installed Smart Chip.

1 × Black CartridgeReplaces Brother LC3037BK and yields up to 3,000 pages.

1 × Magenta CartridgeReplaces Brother LC3037M and yields up to 1,500 pages.
1 × Yellow CartridgeReplaces Brother LC3037Y and yields up to 1,500 pages.

These printers use four separate ink cartridges, so each color can be replaced individually. Starink sells this product as a complete 4-Pack.

Brother LC3037 vs. LC3039

LC3039 has higher listed page yields than LC3037. Both Brother cartridge families fit the six printers in this guide, but the Starink LC3037XXL pack offered here replaces LC3037.

Yields are approximate pages per original Brother cartridge. Matching page yields do not mean the cartridges fit the same printers.

What Does XL Mean in the Printer Model Name?

The XL in MFC-J5845DW XL and MFC-J6545DW XL is part of the printer model name. Both XL printer models are compatible with the same Starink LC3037XXL pack as their corresponding non-XL models.

Choose Starink LC3037XXL for either version of these compatible printer models. Check the complete model name before ordering.
