LC406 LC406XL Ink Cartridges for Brother Printer 5-Pack - High Yield

Our review of the LC406 LC406XL Ink Cartridges 5-pack finds it is a practical choice for small offices and home users who need reliable, high-yield replacements for Brother inkjet machines. The bottom line: this non-OEM 5-pack (two black, cyan, magenta, yellow) focuses on value through page yield rather than OEM branding, making it attractive for anyone who prints frequently and wants lower per-page costs without changing printers. It performed as expected across text and color prints and is easy to install in supported Brother models.

Key Features

• High page yield: The black LC406XL cartridges claim up to 3000 pages and each color up to 1500 pages at 5% A4 coverage, helping reduce refill frequency for heavy users.
• 5-pack convenience: The package includes 2 black cartridges plus cyan, magenta and yellow, so typical monochrome-heavy workflows get extra black supply in one purchase.
• Wide compatibility: Designed to work with a range of Brother inkjet models including MFC-J4335DW, MFC-J5855DW and MFC-J6555DW, simplifying replacement choices for those models.
• Cost-effective alternative: Sold as a non-OEM option, the set aims to lower running costs while maintaining acceptable print quality for everyday documents and color pages.
• Ready to install: The pack ships with a user guide and plug-and-play cartridges that fit like originals in supported printers.

Who It's For

The LC406 5-pack is best for small offices, home offices, and students who print a mix of black text documents and occasional color materials and want a lower-cost replacement with sizable yields. It suits users of the specific Brother inkjet models listed who prefer buying multiple cartridges at once to avoid frequent orders.

Those who should look elsewhere include users requiring manufacturer warranties tied to OEM cartridges or color-critical graphic designers who need guaranteed color matching; professional photo printers and users needing official OEM support may prefer original-brand supplies.

Pros & Cons

• Two black cartridges in the pack are convenient for predominantly black printing environments.
