Rather than clipping a plastic cartridge into a carriage, you pour ink from a bottle into a reservoir built into the printer, and the machine draws from that reservoir until it needs topping up again. The bottle is the consumable, so there is no cartridge to buy and no cartridge shell to throw away. Brother Australia lists two printers for this bottle: the DCP-T580DW and the DCP-T780DW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne bottle carries enough ink for up to 5,000 pages, several times what a typical replaceable cartridge holds, which is what pulls the cost per page down and makes refills rare rather than routine. Magenta carries the reds and the pinks, builds the purples with cyan and the oranges with yellow, and does most of the work in skin tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine ink matters more on a tank printer than on a cartridge one, because the printhead is a permanent part of the machine rather than something carried in and out with each cartridge, and it is not a part you can replace yourself. Brother formulates this ink for that printhead. If more than one colour is getting low, the BTD180CLVAL value pack carries one bottle each of cyan, magenta and yellow for less than buying the three separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brother","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50552936235264,"sku":"DSBTD180M","price":13.18,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/5419\/8784\/files\/btd180m-with-bottle__26171.1759975691.500.750.jpg?v=1791401702","url":"https:\/\/megaschoolsupplies.com.au\/products\/brother-ink-cartridge-btd180m-magenta-ink-bottle","provider":"Mega School Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
