What ink does the Brother DCP-J1140DW need, and 4 compatible models

Looking for ink for your Brother DCP-J1140DW or any printer in its family? The cartridge you need is the Brother LC424 (LC-424). Our compatible version yields 750 pages with the same print quality and costs a fraction of the original. See the compatible LC424 ink.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The LC424 (LC-424) cartridge is the ink reference fitted to the compact all-in-one units in this Brother series. If your printer is any of these five models, this is your ink:

• Brother DCP-J1140DW
• Brother DCP-J1150DW
• Brother MFC-J1170DW
• Brother MFC-J1180DW
• Brother MFC-J1310DW

They all share the same cartridge system, so the LC424 reference works for all five. The differences between models are in the machine's features, not the ink: the DCP series are print, copy and scan all-in-ones, while the MFC series adds fax and office functions. The DW letters indicate wireless connectivity and automatic double-sided (duplex) printing. In practice, whichever model you choose, the consumable is the same.

For the same number of pages printed, your cost per page drops noticeably, and that saving is especially clear if you print frequently at home or in a small office.

Want to see the saving in your specific case? Put your numbers into our savings calculator and compare the cost of printing with compatible ink versus the original. Instead of a fixed price that goes out of date, you'll see the up-to-date consumable on the LC424 product page: check the current price there, always a fraction of the original.
