Brother color ink cartridges LC1013PKS 3-pack — Cyan Magenta Yellow, 300-page standard yield, genuine replacement

These original Brother color cartridges are engineered to integrate seamlessly with your printer, offering consistent color reproduction and predictable page yields. Sold as a set of three—one cyan, one magenta, and one yellow—each cartridge prints approximately 300 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 testing. Brother also supports responsible cartridge disposal through its recycling programs.

How many pages will each cartridge print and how is yield measured?

Each LC1013 cartridge provides an estimated 300 pages based on ISO/IEC 24711 standards for Letter/A4 test pages. That estimate reflects standardized testing using mixed text and color graphics; actual results will vary with print content, coverage and printer settings.

• Approximate yield: 300 pages per cartridge (ISO/IEC 24711).
• Yield depends on coverage: more photos or dense graphics reduce page count.
• Use draft or economy modes to extend cartridge life for internal documents.
