The Brother ink cartridge LC02M is an original cartridge for inkjet printers and serves as replacement consumable material for the colour magenta. It is specifically developed for use in printing systems that require high colour quality and longevity of prints. The cartridge uses pigment-based ink, which enables improved resistance to light, moisture, and mechanical stress. This property is particularly advantageous for documents intended for long-term archiving or outdoor display.

Applications

The cartridge is suitable for use in office environments as well as in small to medium-sized workgroups where continuous printing performance with high quality is required. The maximum monthly duty cycle is 400 pages at 5 % coverage, which corresponds to typical office usage. The cartridge is not intended for use in high-dynamic environments with extremely high print volumes.

Functions and equipment in detail

The LC02M is designed as an original cartridge by Brother, ensuring optimal compatibility with the manufacturer’s printers. The pigment-based ink ensures sharp colour reproduction and high colour brilliance, especially for graphic elements and text. The cartridge is designed for use in inkjet printers, although the exact model compatibility is not specified in the datasheet. The magenta colour is used in printing technology to produce red and pink tones, as well as to enhance overall colour reproduction.

Technology explained simply

The use of pigment-based ink means that the colour particles in the ink are present as solid particles rather than dissolved dyes. This results in higher resistance of prints to light and moisture. The cartridge has a compact design with dimensions of 60 mm (width), 80 mm (depth), and 20 mm (height), enabling easy handling and installation into the printer. The weight of the cartridge is 33 g, and the package weight is 46 g.

Compatibility and accessories

The cartridge is intended for printers that use print cartridge types. The cartridge is not compatible with other ink types or manufacturers, as it is designed as an original product.

Installation and mounting

Installation is carried out by inserting the cartridge into the designated slot in the printer. Operating conditions include a relative humidity of 10 to 80 % and an operating temperature of 5 to 35 °C. These values are suitable for normal office and home environments.

Advantages in operation

Using an original cartridge such as the LC02M ensures reliable print quality and minimises the risk of printing errors or paper jams. The pigment ink ensures durable prints that remain well-preserved even after prolonged storage or outdoor exposure. The maximum monthly duty cycle of 400 pages at 5 % coverage is sufficient for typical office requirements and allows for planned maintenance and replacement scheduling.

The cartridge is manufactured in Malaysia.
