LC3019 Ink — Super High Yield, Standard Cassette Only
LC3019 is the Super High Yield tier of the standard-cassette platform: LC3019BK up to 3,000 pages, LC3019C, LC3019M and LC3019Y up to 1,500 pages each (ISO/IEC 24711), for MFC-J5330DW, MFC-J6530DW and MFC-J6930DW. Its sibling tier LC3017 fits exactly the same three printers at 550 pages per cartridge, and the two tiers can be mixed color by color.
Read the platform warning carefully: LC3019 is NOT an INKvestment Tank cartridge. The Tank cartridge with the same yield numbers is LC3029, and it is physically different — LC3019 does not fit Tank printers, and LC3029 does not fit these three printers. Matching yield figures are the trap in this generation: the cartridge body, not the page count, decides the fit. Sets in this family are built on LC3019 only: the Set of 4 and the bulk Set of 9 (3 black + 2 of each color).
The gap between the tiers is the widest on this platform — 550 pages against 3,000 black / 1,500 color — so the tier choice matters more here than the color choice: one Super High black covers the work of several High blacks in the same slot. And because the two tiers share one printer list, a buying mistake between LC3017 and LC3019 costs a cartridge change, not a return; the only wrong cartridge for these printers is the Tank one.
Which LC3019 should you buy?
- One color ran out: replace just that color — black is $14.99; cyan, magenta and yellow are $11.99 each.
- Full refresh: the Set of 4 ($44.94) replaces all four positions in one box.
- Print every week: the Set of 9 ($87.62) stocks 3 black and 2 of each color.
Chip, ink and everyday use
A Super High cartridge can sit in the printer a long time, so storage and seating do the quiet work here. Keep spares sealed until install day, and seat each one firmly for clean chip contact. One message may still appear with a compatible cartridge — “Cannot Detect Ink Volume” — and Brother's support text says the machine keeps working with it showing. All LC3019 cartridges carry a lifetime warranty with 1-year free returns.
