Brother LC424VAL Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow Ink Multipack
Brother LC424VAL (LC424VAL) is a genuine Brother ink cartridge multipack in black, cyan, magenta, yellow, rated at 750 pages per cartridge, made for owners of Brother DCP-J1200W and DCP-J1200WE printers who want the manufacturer's own ink rather than a compatible.
The DCP-J1200W and DCP-J1200WE are Brother's compact 3-in-1 inkjets for home and home-office use. This multipack holds one of each LC424 cartridge — the full set in one box.
Brother states that the multipack is more economical than buying single cartridges and that genuine LC424 cartridges protect your printer warranty.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Brother LC424 black ink cartridge
- 1 × Brother LC424 cyan ink cartridge
- 1 × Brother LC424 magenta ink cartridge
- 1 × Brother LC424 yellow ink cartridge
What It Means in Practice
- The yield is Brother's figure measured with the ISO/IEC 24711 method on a standard mixed text-and-graphics test page. Full-page colour, photos or heavy graphics use ink faster, so real page counts will be lower; plain text documents usually land close to the rating.
- Each cartridge is rated at 750 pages to ISO/IEC 24711; colours are separate, so only the empty one is replaced and the rest of the pack stays as spares.
- Brother's smart cartridge design shows remaining ink, so you can see which colour is next.
- Colour inks are fade-resistant according to Brother.
- The printhead is a separate part that stays in the printer — this cartridge is only the ink supply. If print quality drops while there is still ink, the fix is usually a printhead clean from the printer menu, not another cartridge.
- Installing takes a minute: open the cartridge access door, wait for the carriage to stop, press the old cartridge to release it, and push the new one into the slot of the same colour until it clicks. Close the door and the printer recognises it.
- Keep spare cartridges sealed in their box at room temperature and install them before the date printed on the packaging; an opened cartridge is best used rather than stored.
What Will Not Work
- Brother printers that use other LC cartridge series — the LC424 is for the DCP-J1200 models.
- A higher-yield fill — this is the standard-yield LC424 pack.
- Any printer that is not in the compatibility list below — if your model is not listed, send us the model before ordering.
