Description
LC38BK Black Cartridge
Brother LC38BK black ink serves Brother DCP-145C, DCP-165C, and MFC-255CW inkjet platforms that require LC38-series tanks. This black cartridge delivers approximately 300 pages per unit for text-centric office tasks. IT teams supporting those legacy all-in-one models rely on OEM LC38 black for predictable monochrome output and fewer print quality escalations.
Brother formulates LC38 black fluid for crisp character edges on standard copy paper. The cartridge installs through the front ink bay on supported DCP and MFC chassis. Sealed OEM packaging protects ink viscosity between procurement and installation in branch offices with limited climate control.
Many organizations still operate DCP-145C and MFC-255CW units for fax, scan, and copy workflows. Those devices share the LC38 tank family, so one black SKU covers multiple model strings in asset databases. Technicians verify compatibility before swap using the model plate and Brother online support matrices.

Why Choose LC38BK Black Cartridge
Organizations maintaining DCP-145C, DCP-165C, and MFC-255CW fleets need a dependable black supply path. LC38 modular tanks let you refresh black without replacing color cartridges still holding fluid. Yield near 300 pages supports cost planning for document-heavy departments on legacy hardware.
Genuine Brother ink reduces nozzle clog risk on aging print heads common in long-deployed units. Standardized LC38 SKUs simplify spare-parts tracking across branch offices and service depots. Technicians complete swaps in minutes using color-keyed cartridge housings aligned with Brother documentation.
Black-first inventory strategies keep multifunction devices online during peak fax and copy periods. When low-black warnings appear, a stocked LC38BK restores crisp output on the next job without dispatching external service. Finance teams model replacement intervals using published yield data for budget submissions.

LC38BK for our MFC-255CW — about 300 pages of crisp black text on DCP-165. Exactly what we needed.

Home printer on DCP-145 was printing faint grey until we swapped this LC38 black. Documents for visa applications look professional. Litmus price was fair compared to mall shops.

Genuine Brother ink. No issues.
