Buying Guide

Before ordering, make sure this Brother LC404XL ink cartridge is compatible with your printer.

  1. Check your printer model. Verify that your printer is listed in the Compatible Printers section on this page.
  2. Confirm the cartridge number. Your printer should use Brother LC404 or LC404XL ink cartridges.
  3. Choose a high-yield cartridge. LC404XL cartridges print more pages than standard-capacity cartridges, making them a more economical choice for frequent home, school, and office printing.
