Nine super-high cartridges weighted for document work: 3 × LC209BK black with 2 each of LC205C, LC205M and LC205Y — black rated up to 2,400 pages and each color up to 1,200 pages under ISO/IEC 24711, per cartridge and never as a box total.


The set serves MFC-J5520DW, MFC-J5620DW and MFC-J5720DW. It is the deepest refill this family offers those three printers; the other trio's LC207BK black and the six WorkSmart models sit outside it by design, not by omission.
Every cartridge in this family carries a new compatible chip — Brother's own support pages for this platform check for the small green chip on top of the cartridge when a printer reports "Cannot Detect", and the ink level is watched by chip and optical sensor together. Handle the cartridge by its housing, never touch the green chip contact, and seat it firmly until it clicks. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur; reseating the cartridge and restarting the printer clears most of them, and we do not promise recognition on every firmware version. Covered by our lifetime warranty, with free returns for the first year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is in this LC209/LC205 Set of 9 box?
Nine individual super-high-yield cartridges: 3 × LC209BK Black, 2 × LC205C Cyan, 2 × LC205M Magenta, 2 × LC205Y Yellow — a black-weighted bulk refill of the complete super-high tier for its three printers.
Why three blacks?
Document printing burns black first and fastest. The 3-2-2-2 mix matches real consumption on these printers better than a balanced box does.
How many pages does the bulk set print?
Per cartridge, never summed: each black up to 2,400 pages; each color up to 1,200 pages (ISO/IEC 24711). We publish no combined box total.
Which printers does this set fit?
Three models: MFC-J5520DW, MFC-J5620DW and MFC-J5720DW. Not the other Business Smart trio (LC207 black) and not the six WorkSmart LC203-ceiling models.
Will my printer recognize this compatible cartridge?
This cartridge carries a new compatible chip. If your printer's firmware has been updated, recognition issues can occasionally occur — remove the cartridge, check that the green chip contact is clean and untouched, reseat it firmly, and restart the printer. Brother's own "Cannot Detect" guidance for this family starts from the same chip check, and this family reads ink level from the chip and an optical sensor together. We do not claim guaranteed recognition on every firmware version; if a cartridge still will not register, the lifetime warranty covers it.
Set of 9 or the LC203 bulk set — which should a heavy user choose?
Per cartridge, this tier stretches every slot well beyond LC203, so the change interval stretches with it. The LC203 Set of 9 wins on upfront cost and on fitting all twelve family models; on these three printers, this is the endurance box.
Can I install part of the bulk set and store the rest?
Yes — install what each slot calls for and keep the rest sealed, upright and out of sunlight, caps on until use.
Does the bulk set change anything about installation?
No. Each cartridge is a standard unit with its own new compatible chip; replace one at a time, handling every cartridge by its housing.
Is this a genuine Brother bulk pack?
No — it is a Clever Supplies compatible bulk set built to the LC209BK and LC205 specifications, labeled compatible on the box and this page.
What if one cartridge in the box is faulty?
The lifetime warranty covers each cartridge individually; a faulty unit is replaced on its own. Free returns apply within the first year.
How long can the unopened cartridges wait?
Stored sealed and upright away from heat and sunlight, spares wait for their turn in normal office conditions. We publish no shelf-life figure for these cartridges — our supplier has not confirmed one — so rotate stock oldest-first.
My printer came with LC203 Starter cartridges. Are these the same?
No — and Brother says so itself: the LC203 Starter (setup) cartridges supplied with a new printer are not the same as retail high-yield LC203 cartridges, and Starter units are a known cause of 'Cannot Detect' messages when mixed up with retail stock. This product is the retail LC203 specification at the full 550-page rating; setup cartridges are never part of a compatible listing here.
