Brother DCP-J152W Ink

DCP-J152W Ink — High-Yield LC103, Standard LC101

DCP-J152W owners restock on a short ladder: standard LC101 (300 pages, information only on this page — no compatible LC101 single is offered) under high-yield LC103 (600 pages), and nothing above it. That two-tier ladder is the whole for this printer — LC101 is the specification it shipped with, LC103 is the same case at double the rating, so the spare to hold is an LC103 in the color your printing finishes first. The super-high tier never reaches this model: LC105 colors and the LC107/LC109 blacks belong to the eight larger printers in the family, outside this small nine-model group.

The DCP-J152W takes LC103 high-yield ink — black LC103BK, cyan LC103C, magenta LC103M and yellow LC103Y, each rated up to 600 pages (ISO/IEC 24711) — and also accepts the standard LC101 tier (300 pages per cartridge; information rows in the table, no compatible LC101 single is offered). The LC103 singles are $7.49 each, so a full four-color refresh bought as singles costs $29.96, against $28.44 for the Set of 4 in one box.

Which LC103 should you buy?

One color at a time: black, cyan, magenta and yellow — $7.49 each.
Full refresh: the Set of 4 ($28.44) puts one of each color in one box.
Print every week: the Set of 9 ($53.87) puts three blacks and two of each color in one box.

Chip, ink and everyday use

The DCP-J152W spends its four positions independently, and each cartridge answers for itself: a new compatible chip, its own slot, and a replacement only when that color is actually empty. Handle a cartridge by the housing and keep fingers off the small green chip contacts; if a firmware update ever causes a recognition hiccup, reseat the cartridge firmly and restart the printer. Every Clever Supplies cartridge here carries a lifetime warranty with 1-year free returns.
