Brother LC38C Cyan Ink Cartridge 260 Page Yield DCP MFC

LC38C Cyan Cartridge

Brother LC38C cyan ink supplies the cyan channel on Brother DCP-145C, DCP-165C, and MFC-255CW devices that use LC38 ink tanks. This OEM cartridge yields approximately 260 pages per unit for color documents, charts, and mixed graphics. Facilities running those DCP and MFC models stock LC38 cyan alongside black, magenta, and yellow siblings for complete CMYK coverage.

Brother calibrates LC38 cyan dye for stable output on the print heads inside supported compact inkjet chassis. Individual tank design lets you replace cyan when that channel depletes while other colors remain operational. Sealed packaging maintains ink integrity from storage through installation on devices that may sit idle between project batches.

Branch offices using MFC-255CW units for color fax covers and handouts need cyan that holds hue on standard 20 lb paper. The LC38C cartridge matches Brother bay labeling on those models to reduce mis-installation during self-service supply changes. Service teams keep cyan on the shelf because color complaints often trace to a single depleted channel rather than head failure.

Why Choose LC38C Cyan Cartridge

Teams operating DCP-145C, DCP-165C, and MFC-255CW units need a verified cyan supply for color fax covers and presentation handouts. LC38 modular tanks let you reorder cyan without discarding partially full magenta or yellow reservoirs. Yield near 260 pages aids quarterly supply forecasts for moderate color use on legacy devices.

Genuine Brother chemistry protects nozzles on units that may sit idle between jobs. Procurement aligns cyan orders with LC38BK, LC38M, and LC38Y for complete CMYK coverage at every supported site. Color-coded housings speed field replacements during service windows with minimal user disruption.

Stable cyan density preserves chart colors on recurring internal report templates. When cyan runs low, blue tones fade and greens shift before other channels show obvious defects. A stocked LC38C restores expected color balance on the next print job without unnecessary head cleaning or service tickets.
