Buying Guide

Before ordering, make sure this Brother LC3013 ink cartridge set is compatible with your printer.

1. Check your printer model. Verify that your printer is listed in the Compatible Printers section below.
2. Confirm the cartridge number. Your printer should use Brother LC3011 (standard yield) or LC3013 (high yield) ink cartridges. These high-yield cartridges fit perfectly into the same slots.
3. Enjoy 10-Pack bulk savings. Buying a 10-pack gives you more flexibility to replace individual colors as needed and significantly cuts down on your reorder frequency.
