Key Features Explained

1. Pigment-Based Black Ink:

   • This is the most important characteristic. Unlike the dye-based inks used in many other Brother ink tank models (like the BC-60 series), pigment ink consists of tiny particles that sit on top of the paper.

   • Advantage: It produces text that is highly water-resistant, smudge-resistant, and more durable. This is crucial for professional documents, invoices, or labels that might be handled frequently or exposed to moisture.

   • Trade-off: It is generally not as vibrant for photo printing as dye-based ink, but for text documents, it is superior.

2. Large 100ml Volume & High Page Yield:

   • The 100ml bottle is larger than the standard BC-60 (approx. 70ml) bottle, offering a high page yield of up to 3,000 pages, which ensures a very low cost per page.

3. Genuine Brother Quality:

   • Using original Brother ink helps maintain print head health, ensures consistent color and print quality, and prevents potential damage that third-party inks might cause.

Who is this ink for?

• Users of specific Brother printers that require the BTD-100 series ink (see compatibility list below).

• Businesses and individuals who need professional, archival-quality text documents that are water-resistant.

• Users looking for the lowest cost-per-page for high-volume black and white document printing with the added benefit of water resistance.

Important Note on Compatibility

The Brother BTD-100 ink series is NOT compatible with the majority of Brother ink tank printers that use the BC-60 series inks (e.g., DCP-T220, T420W, T530W, T720DW, etc.).

Using the wrong ink can severely damage your printer.

Examples of Compatible Printers

The BTD-100 series inks are typically used in models designed for high-volume, text-focused printing with the durability of pigment black ink. Examples include:

• Brother MFC-J5945DW

• Brother MFC-J6945DW

• Brother MFC-J695DW

• Other models in the J5940/J6940 series

How to Confirm Compatibility:
Always check your printer’s manual or the ink compartment lid for the exact recommended ink model number. The correct ink type is usually clearly stated on a label inside the printer.
