FAQs for Brother MFC-J5855DW Ink Cartridges

What ink cartridges does the Brother MFC-J5855DW use?

The Brother MFC-J5855DW uses four individual cartridges from the Brother LC406 / LC406XL family: Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. Starink currently offers a high-yield LC406XL 4-Pack with one cartridge in each color.

Is LC406XL compatible with the Brother MFC-J5855DW?

Yes. LC406XL is the high-yield cartridge option for the Brother MFC-J5855DW. Confirm that the printer label shows the complete MFC-J5855DW model number before ordering.

Can LC406XL replace standard LC406 in the MFC-J5855DW?

Yes. The Brother MFC-J5855DW accepts standard-yield LC406 and high-yield LC406XL cartridges. LC406XL fits the same cartridge positions while providing a higher approximate page yield between replacements.

What is included in the Starink Brother LC406XL 4-Pack?

The complete set includes one LC406XL Black cartridge, one Cyan cartridge, one Magenta cartridge, and one Yellow cartridge. Each cartridge arrives with a smart chip already installed.

How many pages can LC406XL cartridges print?

The LC406XL Black cartridge prints up to 6,000 pages, while each Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridge prints up to 5,000 pages. Yields apply to each individual cartridge and should not be combined as one 4-Pack total.

Do Starink LC406XL cartridges include smart chips?

Yes. Smart chips are pre-installed on all four cartridges, so no chip transfer is required. They are designed to support printer recognition and ink-level monitoring; printer firmware and device conditions can affect recognition.

Does printing 11 × 17 documents affect LC406XL page yield?

It can. Published LC406XL yields are approximate ISO figures based on Letter/A4 testing. Larger 11 × 17 pages and documents with heavier ink coverage may use more ink per page, so actual yield can be lower.

What should I do if my Brother MFC-J5855DW does not recognize a cartridge?

Confirm that the printer is an MFC-J5855DW, remove all protective materials, match each cartridge to its color-coded slot, and reinstall it firmly. If the message continues, review our printer ink troubleshooting guide or contact us.
