LC404XL Ink Cartridges 4 Pack for Brother MFC-J1205W - High Yield

In this review the LC404XL 4 pack from Toner H-Party is evaluated as a budget-friendly replacement set for users of Brother MFC-J1205W and MFC-J1215W printers. The bottom line: this non-OEM combo of LC404XL cartridges is best for home offices or small businesses that need reliable color output and higher page yields without the OEM price. The reviewer found installation simple, consistent color balance across cyan, magenta and yellow, and a solid black for text, making it a practical choice when yield and cost per page matter most.

Key Features

• Compatible Models: Designed specifically for MFC-J1205W and MFC-J1215W printers, so compatibility is straightforward for those machines.
• High Page Yield: Each LC404XL cartridge offers high yields up to 750 pages at 5% coverage on A4, which reduces replacement frequency for typical document printing.
• Complete Color Set: The pack includes one each of Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, allowing full color printing right out of the box for mixed jobs.
• Cost Efficiency: As a non-OEM option, the set presents lower upfront cost per cartridge compared with manufacturer-branded cartridges while maintaining acceptable print quality.
• Simple Packaging: The package ships with a user guide to assist with installation and basic troubleshooting for first-time users.

Who It's For

The LC404XL 4 pack is aimed at home users, students and small offices that run a moderate volume of prints and want better page yield than standard cartridges. It fits well for people who prioritize a lower operating cost and need a full set of colors for occasional graphics or color documents.

Those who require absolute manufacturer warranty coverage, the very highest color fidelity for professional photo work, or unusual paper types should consider OEM cartridges or specialist photo ink instead, since this product is a non-OEM alternative and may not offer the last word in archival color accuracy.
