LC3013 8PKS High Capacity Compatible Ink Cartridges - Value Pack

Our review of the LC3013 8PKS finds it a practical option for home offices and small businesses that use compatible Brother MFC-J series printers. The bottom line: this eight-pack replaces the standard LC3013 and LC3011 cartridges and delivers a clear value proposition - four color sets plus black at a lower cost-per-page while promising consistent print quality. For anyone who prints routine documents and occasional color pages, the pack offers a simple way to keep a printer stocked without frequent cartridge changes.

Key Features

• High page yield: Each black and color cartridge is rated for about 400 pages at 5% coverage, reducing how often you need replacements.
• Complete 8-pack: The set includes 2 black, 2 cyan, 2 magenta and 2 yellow cartridges so a full color-capable printer can be restocked in one purchase.
• Compatible models: Designed to work with MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J690DW and MFC-J895DW printers for plug-and-play replacement.
• Cost effectiveness: Marketed as a more affordable alternative to original-brand LC3013 cartridges, making it easier to manage printing budgets.
• Print quality: Uses premium ink formulation intended to provide smooth, high-quality text and color output for everyday documents.

Who It's For

This pack suits households, students and small offices that print a mix of documents and occasional color pages and who want to lower the per-page cost without buying single cartridges frequently. It is especially convenient for users of the listed Brother MFC-J series printers who prefer to buy multiple cartridges at once for inventory simplicity.

Those who require archival-grade photo prints, extreme color accuracy for professional design work, or who print at much higher coverage per page should consider higher-yield originals or specialty inks instead, since the 400-page estimate is based on 5% coverage.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lower cost-per-cartridge compared with original-brand options, making routine printing cheaper.
• All four colors plus black included so users can replace every cartridge without multiple orders.
• Consistent print quality aimed at clear text and reasonable color reproduction for general use.

Cons

• Page yield is specified at 5% coverage, so real-world yield will be lower for heavy color pages or photos.
• As a compatible cartridge, there may be occasional printer recognition or compatibility quirks on some units.
