The Brother LC50BK is an original ink cartridge in black, specifically developed for inkjet printers. It is based on pigment-based ink, which ensures high colour brilliance and longevity of prints. The cartridge is designed for use in Brother printers such as the MFC-830, MFC-840, MFC-860, and MFC-850 models, and offers a maximum monthly duty cycle of 850 pages. The printing technology is based on inkjet principles, ensuring precise and even ink distribution.

Applications

The LC50BK is suitable for office and home applications where reliable and high-quality black printing performance is required. The cartridge is designed for use in environments with a relative humidity of 10 to 80 % and an operating temperature of 5 to 35 °C. These conditions cover typical indoor environments, such as those found in offices or private workspaces.

Features and equipment in detail

The cartridge features an ink tank type, ensuring continuous and even ink supply. The pigment-based ink offers higher resistance to light, moisture, and mechanical stress compared to dye-based inks. This makes the prints particularly suitable for documents requiring long-term durability. The cartridge is certified as an original product by Brother, ensuring compatibility and reliability during the printing process.

Technology explained simply

The pigment-based ink consists of finely dispersed pigment particles in a liquid carrier medium. Compared to dye-based inks, which contain soluble dyes, pigment inks offer better weather resistance and higher colour intensity. The cartridge is designed to apply ink precisely and without dripping onto the paper, resulting in sharp text and clear lines. The cartridge dimensions are 60 mm (width), 80 mm (depth), and 30 mm (height), with a weight of 54 g. The package weight is 70 g.

Compatibility and accessories

The LC50BK is compatible with the specified Brother printers and can be used as a replacement cartridge for these devices. The cartridge is part of the ink tank system, which enables easy installation and replaceability.

Installation and mounting

Installation is performed by inserting the cartridge into the designated slot in the printer. The cartridge is designed to fit only in the correct position, preventing incorrect installation. The exact mounting instructions are included in the user manual of the respective printer.

Advantages in operation

Using the original ink cartridge LC50BK ensures optimal print quality and avoids issues such as ink smudging or uneven colour application. The pigment ink ensures durable prints that retain their quality even after long-term storage or outdoor exposure (indirect exposure). The maximum monthly duty cycle of 850 pages makes the cartridge suitable for medium to high print volumes without compromising print quality. The cartridge is manufactured in Malaysia.
