Ink cartridge Brother LC552M Original Magenta, pigment-based ink, single pack, ~550 pages

Original Brother LC552M magenta ink cartridge contains pigment-based magenta ink formulated for reliable colour printing. Supplied as a single pack, this cartridge is intended for use in compatible Brother printers that accept LC552 series cartridges. With an estimated yield of approximately 550 pages in magenta coverage, the cartridge supports reproduction of coloured text and graphics where colour accuracy and resistance to smudging are important.

Advantages

The cartridge uses pigment-based ink that offers improved water and smudge resistance compared with typical dye inks, helping printed documents retain legibility and colour fidelity over time. As an original Brother consumable, it is designed to match printer firmware and mechanical tolerances to reduce the risk of print defects and help maintain consistent print quality. The single-pack format allows users to replace only the magenta supply when needed.

Suitable for

• Office documents with colour elements such as charts, logos and highlighted text
• Printouts requiring durable magenta colour and minimal smearing
• Small business and home use with printers compatible with LC552 series cartridges

How to use

Turn the printer on and follow the device-specific instructions to access the cartridge holder. Remove the empty magenta cartridge according to the printer manual and unpack the new Brother LC552M cartridge, removing any protective tape or packaging materials. Insert the cartridge into the magenta slot until it clicks into place, then close the cartridge access cover. Run a test print or nozzle check from the printer menu to verify correct installation and colour output.

Usage recommendations

Store unopened cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If a printhead cleaning is required after installation, follow the printer’s maintenance procedures rather than repeating installations. For consistent colour results, replace cartridges of other colours when their levels are low to avoid imbalance in colour output.
