Brother LC462XLBK ink cartridge 1 pc(s) High (XL) Yield Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Brother LC462XLBK (XL Black) is the kind of “boring but dependable” ink that suits busy UK offices that don’t want to think about cartridges every couple of weeks. If you’re printing lots of text—invoices, statements, internal paperwork—this XL should usually feel decent on cost-per-page versus the standard size, and it tends to behave reliably in the compatible Brother devices. At **£19.09 ex‑VAT**, it’s not a bargain-basement price, but it’s also not an outrageous one if you actually get the expected yield.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you only print occasionally. Inkjet blacks can dry out and you’ll end up paying for cartridges you don’t fully use—especially if your printer sits idle. Also, if you’re cost-optimising hard, it’s worth comparing against whatever your printer’s “cheapest per page” option is (sometimes that’s a different Brother cartridge size or even a third-party alternative, depending on your model). Bottom line: **buy it if you’re a regular black-text printer in a Brother setup**; **skip it if printing is sporadic or you’re chasing the lowest possible running cost**.
