Brother LC223 and LC225XL are related ink families, but they are not identical pack choices. LC223 is the standard-yield family with black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges. LC225XL is the high-yield colour family for cyan, magenta and yellow; it is not a black cartridge. Some printers use a separate higher-yield black reference, such as LC227XL or LC229XL, so check the supplies listed for your exact printer before choosing.

Before you order
Read the full printer model and suffix from the label or settings screen. Compare it with the cartridge code on the old cartridge, then check the exact colour and whether the listing is for a single cartridge or multipack. Genuine Brother supplies are made by Brother; compatible supplies are made by another supplier for specified models. Current products, prices and availability should be confirmed on the live listing.
