LC3013 Ink Cartridges 5-Pack High Yield - Reliable Replacement

In this review the LC3013 5-pack is presented as a practical option for users who need dependable, high-yield ink for compatible Brother inkjet printers. The review finds the pack best for home offices and small businesses that print mixed color documents and photos but want to avoid frequent cartridge swaps. The single biggest reason to buy is straightforward: the set includes two high-yield black cartridges plus one each of cyan, magenta and yellow, delivering up to 400 pages per cartridge at 5% coverage for consistently vivid output across text and color prints.

Key Features

• Five-cartridge pack: The bundle contains 2 black and 1 each cyan, magenta and yellow, so users get a full complement for most print jobs without needing immediate replacements.
• High page yield: Rated up to 400 pages per cartridge at 5% coverage, the cartridges reduce the frequency of replacements for routine office printing.
• Broad compatibility: These cartridges are compatible replacements for LC3011 and LC3013 series models and work with MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J690DW and MFC-J895DW printers.
• Easy installation: Designed as direct replacements for the original cartridges, they install easily and produce clear black text and bright color output with minimal fuss.
• Packaging and protection: Multi-layer packaging is used to prevent leaks in transit so cartridges usually arrive ready to install.
• Warranty and support: The product includes a 24-month warranty and 24/7 online customer service for assistance or issue resolution.

Who It's For

This pack is aimed at home office users, students, and small business owners who need a reliable set of cartridges for everyday printing of documents, reports and occasional color graphics. The inclusion of two black cartridges suits workflows that are heavier on monochrome pages while still providing full color capability.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who require very high-volume photo printing or commercial photographers seeking archival pigment inks, since these are dye-based replacement cartridges with a 5% coverage yield estimate and are optimized for general document and casual photo printing.
