Genuine cyan cartridge for Work Smart printers
The Brother LC3013C is a dye-based cyan ink cartridge manufactured by Brother for its Work Smart Series all-in-one printers. It suits home offices and small businesses that rely on the MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J690DW or MFC-J895DW for daily colour documents. Each cartridge is rated for a 400-page yield under standard test conditions.
Replaces third-party refills that risk print-head
Switching to this original cartridge is worthwhile when non-genuine ink has caused streaking, colour shifts or premature head wear. The formulation is engineered to match the printer’s fluid dynamics and reduces the likelihood of nozzle blockages that lead to service calls. Users who print infrequently benefit most because the ink resists drying in the channels between jobs.
Simple front-access installation
Open the front cover, press the release lever and slide the new cartridge until it clicks into the cyan slot; the printer recognises it automatically and primes the system. A common error is leaving the protective seal on the vent hole, which stops ink flow and triggers an empty-cartridge warning. Brother provides a free return programme for used cartridges at end of life.
