What Ink Cartridge Does the Brother MFC-J1410DW Use?

by William Elward Last Updated:

Quick answer: The Brother MFC-J1410DW uses Brother LC406 standard-yield ink cartridges or LC406XL high-yield cartridges. The printer takes four individual cartridges: Black (LC406BK), Cyan (LC406C), Magenta (LC406M), and Yellow (LC406Y).

Compatible Cartridge Options for the MFC-J1410DW

  • LC406 Standard Yield — ~200 pages per color
  • LC406XL High Yield — ~500 pages per color
  • LC406XXL Super High Yield — ~3,000 black / ~1,500 color pages (where available)

Why the MFC-J1410DW Is Popular with Small Offices

The MFC-J1410DW is a compact INKvestment Tank model, which means its cartridges hold more ink than traditional cartridges. Pairing it with compatible LC406XL cartridges from Castle Ink's Brother ink selection drives the cost-per-page down dramatically.

How to Replace Ink in the MFC-J1410DW

  1. Open the scanner cover until it locks in the up position.
  2. Press the locking release lever on the old cartridge and pull it up and out.
  3. Unpack the new LC406 cartridge and remove the protective cap.
  4. Insert the cartridge with the arrow facing up into its matching color slot.
  5. Gently close the scanner cover — the printer auto-cleans the print head.

Print Quality Tips

If you notice banding or faded colors after a cartridge swap, run the built-in print-head cleaning utility from the printer's touchscreen (Settings → Maintenance → Print Head Cleaning). One or two cleaning cycles usually restore full quality.
