The Brother ink cartridge LC980M is an original consumable component for inkjet printers, specifically developed for use in various Brother printers. The cartridge contains pigment-based ink in the color magenta and is available as a single pack. It is designed for use in printers such as DCP-145C, DCP-165C, DCP-195C, DCP-197C, DCP-375CW, MFC-250C, MFC-255CW, MFC-290C, and MFC-295C. The cartridge enables a print capacity of up to 260 pages at 5% coverage, making it suitable for office applications with moderate print volume.
Applications
The LC980M is particularly suitable for use in office environments and for printing documents intended for long-term archiving. The pigment ink offers high lightfastness, with Brother guaranteeing lightfastness of up to 100 years when used with specially matched print paper. This makes the cartridge ideal for creating documents intended to be preserved over the long term.
Functions and Features in Detail
The cartridge is part of the Brother Innobella system, designed for optimal print quality and reliability. The pigment-based ink ensures sharp, long-lasting colors and prevents fading or discoloration of prints. The cartridge is designed for use in inkjet printers and is developed by the same engineers who design the printers themselves, ensuring perfect compatibility between device and consumable.
Technology Explained Simply
The use of pigment ink instead of dye-based ink offers advantages in durability and resistance of prints. Pigment ink consists of fine particles that adhere to the paper and are less likely to smudge or fade. Print quality is ensured through the precise formulation of the ink and its specific development for Brother printers. The cartridge is designed for easy installation into the printer and replaces the empty ink cartridge without requiring additional tools.
Compatibility and Accessories
The LC980M is compatible with a range of Brother printers, including models from the DCP and MFC series. The cartridge is available as a single pack, allowing replacement of only the empty ink cartridge, which reduces ink consumption. Using original Brother consumables ensures compliance with ISO 11798 standards for durability and longevity and protects the printer warranty.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the cartridge into the printer, where it is automatically recognized. No additional tools or settings are required. The cartridge is designed for direct use in the specified printers and requires no special preparation.
Operational Advantages
Using the LC980M provides reliable print quality with vibrant colors and high lightfastness. The cartridge reduces ink consumption, as only the empty ink cartridge is replaced. Prints are durable and suitable for long-term archiving. The cartridge is part of a complete printing system developed for optimal performance and reliability.
