LC404XL LC404 Ink Cartridges 4 Pack for Brother Printers - High Yield

In this review of the LC404XL LC404 ink cartridges 4 pack, the bottom line is simple: this non-OEM combo is for users who need reliable everyday printing and higher yield at a lower cost. The reviewer found the set well suited to the specified Brother compact inkjet machines, delivering consistent text and decent color output across documents. If you own an MFC-J1205W or MFC-J1215W series printer and want an economical alternative to brand cartridges, this pack is worth considering because each cartridge claims high yields and the bundle includes all four colors plus a user guide.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed specifically for MFC-J1205W and MFC-J1215W series printers so users can expect straightforward installation without searching for mixed-model cartridges.
• Four-color bundle: Includes Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow in one pack, which reduces downtime by replacing all primary colors together.
• High page yield: Each LC404XL cartridge offers a high yield of up to 750 pages (5% coverage, A4), making it a cost-effective choice for moderate home or small office use.
• Non-OEM option: These are not original manufacturer cartridges, providing a lower-cost refill alternative while keeping printers working with original cartridge form factors.
• Simple package contents: The pack ships with one BK, one C, one M, one Y and a user guide to help with installation and first-time setup.

Who It's For

This pack is aimed at home users, students and small offices that use the MFC-J1205W or MFC-J1215W printers and print documents regularly but do not require professional photo quality. It fits buyers who prioritize page yield and a complete color set so they can swap all cartridges at once.

Those who need the absolute highest color fidelity for photo prints, or who insist on original manufacturer warranty support tied to OEM cartridges, should look elsewhere. Also, very light users who print only occasionally may not see the yield advantage quickly enough to justify buying a full four-pack.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides a full set of four cartridges in one purchase, reducing repeated orders and printer downtime.
• Advertised high yields up to 750 pages per cartridge, which improves cost per page for routine black and color documents.
• Compatible with the listed Brother models, making installation straightforward for those machines.
• Includes a simple user guide to assist with installation of non-OEM cartridges.

Cons

• These are non-OEM cartridges, so users who require original-brand cartridges for warranty or color accuracy may prefer the manufacturer product.
