The manufacturer has produced alternatives for a range of Brother’s inkjet cartridges.
The alternatives are designed to replace the LC-1240 cartridges, which are designed for use in Brother’s DCP-J525W, DCP-J725W, DCP-J925DW, MFC-J435W, MFC-J5910DW, MFC-J625DW and MFC-J825DW printers.
The cartridges, according to KMP, have been made not to “infringe any patents of the OEM”, and are “directly inserted into the printer without an adapter”, as the originals are. However, due to patent restrictions, the KMP cartridges “are pulled out of the printer by means of a small handle instead of the mechanical ejection when changing the cartridge”.
KMP noted in turn that to circumvent the patents held by Brother, KMP’s own “resourceful developers” are creating an “electronic recognition of the cartridge instead of a mechanical one”, and have “filed a patent for their development”. Each of the colour cartridges are designed to print an additional 400 pages above the OEM originals’ yields. The four cartridges are also available as a single cartridge, a double (for the black inkjets only) or a multipack.
Product codes include the B37 for the black single inkjet cartridge (which replaces the LC-1240BK), the B38 for the cyan single cartridge (replacing the LC-1240C), the B39 for the magenta (replacing the LC-1240M) and the B40 for the yellow (replacing the LC-1240Y), as well as the B37D (the double pack) and the B37V (the multipack).
