Product Information

Full details

The Brother LC221Y is an original yellow inkjet cartridge designed for home or office users who prioritize consistent print quality and machine longevity. It offers a standard yield of approximately 260 pages, making it an ideal choice for low-volume printing needs. While it provides excellent reliability and crisp, professional results, it is a standard yield cartridge, meaning heavy-duty users may need to replace it more frequently compared to high-capacity alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the LC221Y, simply open the ink cartridge cover on your Brother printer, press the release lever for the yellow slot, and remove the empty cartridge. Slide the new LC221Y cartridge into the slot until it clicks securely into place. This cartridge is compatible with the Brother DCP-J562DW, MFC-J480DW, MFC-J680DW, and MFC-J880DW models. To maintain optimal print quality, keep the cartridge in its sealed packaging until you are ready to use it, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your printer has been idle for several weeks, use the printer's built-in 'Head Cleaning' utility to ensure the ink nozzle remains clear.
