KMP B102 — Magenta Ink for Brother LC3213 Printers
Replaces LC3213M4.7 mlUp to 400 pagesChip fitted
KMP B102 is a magenta ink cartridge made by KMP PrintTechnik AG (Germany) as a compatible replacement for the Brother LC3213M, holding 4.7 ml and rated at up to 400 pages to ISO/IEC 24711 for Brother DCP-J572DW, DCP-J772DW, DCP-J774DW, MFC-J491DW, MFC-J497DW, MFC-J890DW and MFC-J895DW printers.
These compact Brother home and small-office inkjets take four separate LC3211/LC3213 cartridges. This item is the magenta one, matching the higher-capacity LC3213 rather than the starter LC3211, and it carries a chip so the printer shows the ink level.
Before you order: LC3211 and LC3213 fit the same printers; LC3213 is the higher-capacity version. LC3219XL is a different cartridge for other models and will not fit.
What's in the Box
- 1 × KMP B102 ink cartridge, magenta, 4.7 ml (replaces Brother LC3213M)
- Single cartridge only — the printer, the other colours and any printhead are not included
What It Means in Practice
- Up to 400 A4 pages measured to ISO/IEC 24711.
- Install it exactly like the original: open the ink cover, press the release on the empty cartridge, slide this one in until it locks and close the cover. Remove any orange protective cap or tape first — a cartridge left with its seal on will report as empty or not print.
- Some printers display a "non-genuine" or "used cartridge" notice the first time a compatible cartridge goes in. Confirm the message on the printer panel and printing continues — this is a printer prompt, not a fault in the cartridge.
- These printers stop when any one colour is empty. Because the cartridges are small, keeping a spare magenta alongside the other colours prevents a stop in the middle of a print run.
- For colour-critical photo work, print one test page after the change and compare it with your previous output before a large job.
- Keep spare cartridges or bottles sealed until you need them; ink in an opened container slowly dries at the nozzle or outlet, and a sealed pack keeps the ink in the condition it left the factory.
What Will Not Work
- It will not fit printers that take LC3219XL, LC3217, LC223 or LC123 cartridges.
- It is magenta only — black, cyan and yellow are sold separately.
- It will not fit the MFC-J5330DW, MFC-J5730DW or other A3 models, which use LC3219XL/LC3217.
- It does not repair a clogged or worn printhead. If the original ink already printed streaks or missing lines, run the printer's cleaning cycle first — new ink cannot fix a printhead fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it if my printer came with LC3211 cartridges?
Yes. LC3211 and LC3213 fit the same printers; this item replaces the higher-capacity LC3213.
Will it fit an MFC-J5330DW?
No. That model uses LC3219XL/LC3217 cartridges, which have a different shape.
What does the page-yield figure mean for me?
It is measured to ISO/IEC 24711, the same standard printer brands use: a fixed set of A4 office pages printed until the ink runs out. Use it to compare products like for like; your own count depends on how much of each page is covered.
Do I need a reset tool or special software?
No. Follow the printer's own on-screen prompt after replacing or refilling; some models ask you to confirm which colour you changed.
Will using compatible ink damage my printer?
Compatible ink is made to the same physical format and is designed to run in the listed printers. Use it only in the models listed for this item, keep the printer's cleaning schedule as normal and avoid leaving the printer with an empty colour for long periods.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For the DCP-J572DW to MFC-J895DW range this replaces the larger LC3213 magenta with chip support. Because these cartridges are small, the real saving comes from replacing the colours you use most — usually black first, then magenta and cyan. Browse our
compatible ink range to find matching colours for the same printer.
✓ Buy it if your printer is one of the listed DCP-J/MFC-J models and takes LC3211 or LC3213 cartridges.
✕ Skip it if your printer takes LC3219XL or LC3217 cartridges, or you print mainly black text.
→ Also consider the matching KMP LC3213 black, cyan and yellow cartridges for the same printer.
