Works well with printer
I was sent the printer to review and then the ink separately. This black ink works well with the printer, as expected as this is the one it is slotted for.

It works
Pretty standard ink. It does it's job. I can't speak to how long it lasts this soon. Other than that it's fine. what I did appreciate was that it came in a pack.

Easy to use
This is a great ink cartridges that last a long time. It is easy to replace and ink doesn't get all over my hands. I just remove the old and put the new one in without any issues.

Great black Ink
This is an amazing deal on printer ink and it lasts for a really long time. The ink is very good quality and it's easy to insert into the printer. Will buy.

High quality
I love this ink. I was kinda curious as to how it would look after print. It didn’t bleed and the cartridge is of a decent amount. I recommend buying it for your printer

Great value
I love that the bundle of inks includes double the amount of black ink because that is always so quick to go compared to the other colors. So far they are lasting very long and are easy to install!

OBSESSED
I had no clue I could be obsessed with a printer… guess what?! I am! This printer is seriously so great at everything you need a high quality printer to do. I love having it at home.

No Ink yet via my normal sources
I have to agree with most of the other reviewers here. After four months of not finding LC401BLK ink, I will be buying a different printer. I am also disappointed in the canned responses, although its nice not seeing 2-4 weeks for the ink to be available as I have seen in the past. I will probably keep my current Brother for awhile, and if the ink shows up again, I will donate the printer to a thrift store. :-(

Out of Ink- can't buy it anywhere. Printer is useless. Shopping for a different brand.

Oh Brother, that was easy!
So simple: no wiping the heads, getting ink on me, aligning the cartridge routine, opening the top of the machine and waiting for the carriage to go to the end, none of the steps involved like my old printer from another company. I simply opened the ink door, swapped out the cartridges and starting printing. I did not even need instructions.

Inadequate product
Why am I unable to buy any black ink cartridge LC401.I have done my research and ready to order the corresponding machine, but why would I if I can’t buy black cartridges. I have looked at four different places to order and all are out of stock. I need the machine now, and I can’t have it run out of ink with no cartridges available to purchase.

Can’t get black ink for printer
Have been trying to purchase LC401XL black ink and for weeks says out of stock throughout the USA.
How do you sell a printer and then not have ink available?

Don't Waste Your Time
Nothing but canned automated responses to customers asking about the lack of availability for the LC401 Black Ink Cartridge. What a disappointment. Going back to an HP Printer and never buying a Brother product again.

No ink for almost a year now.
I have two MFC-J1010DW printers and have been waiting 10 months to get ink. Brother says "strong demand", "more expected soon", "sorry for the inconvenience" over and over again. You should have your head examined if you're considering any Brother product.

No ink
I really enjoy this printer, but not being able to locate black ink has driven me to purchasing a different printer. Are there any alternative cartridges that can be used?

Where is the Black Ink you have promised?
Been trying to purchase LC401 BK ink for a new MFC-J1170DW printer, that I really was starting to like...but cant use it for last 3-4 months!! So frustrating, have had advice to go over to Canon brand, and look at purchasing there...a new printer (UGGH) and get it installed, etc... How could this happen? What is going on?

Do not buy brother
Today I threw a practically new Brother into the junk heap. This product is worthless if you cannot buy supplies. Cannon and HP seem to have plenty of ink. They seem to be a more reliable brand if you actually want to use your equipment. See ya Brother.

DO NOT BUY - No Black replacement cartridges!
For the price of this printer, I really quite liked its functionality and ease of use - however, for the past month it's been rendered useless and appears that this will not change in the foreseeable future, as there are ZERO black ink replacement cartridges to be found. Just check out the other reviews/questions and you will see that Customer service even just stopped responding. Very disappointing and while I'm now back to looking for a new printer, I will NOT be buying a Brother printer of any kind, as these aren't intended to be single use purchases.

Be honest
Still lying. They say "due to strong demand". Complete lie. It is poor supply. Just come out and be honest. It was just a technical issue now it is a corporate integrity issue! I bet this gets a canned response (or deleted).

Brother is destroying it's reputation
I owned a different Brother printer for years and liked it quite well. I bought a MFC-J1010DW in October and found it to be satisfactory. But I now can't find LC401 ink anywhere online or in local stores, just as several who have recently posted in reviews. I use my printer for my job and can't be without a working printer for long. If the ink situation isn't corrected soon I will be forced to buy another printer. I take no pleasure in it, but I feel an obligation to share my problem with anyone that may benefit from this knowledge. I ran a company for several years. If I were in charge of Brother today, I would inform the COO that he has 10 days to correct the problem. Otherwise I would terminate him/her.

Black Ink Unavailable for WEEEEEEEEEEKS!
I liked this printer. Now I literally have to go buy a new printer because I am unable to work due to the complete unavailability of compatible black ink. It's beyond me how brother could sell so many of these printers without foreseeing the need for ink. Now this otherwise reliable printer is a paper weight. They have been estimating the product be back in stock for "2-4 weeks" for weeks already. I have no confidence in any availability any time soon.
