Yanyink LC501 Black Ink Cartridges, Smudge-Resistant 4-Pack

Choosing ink for regular document printing is different from keeping a spare cartridge on hand: this four-pack gives you several black cartridges for ongoing use, with the same LC501 fit for compatible printers. Each cartridge is rated for up to 250 pages at 5% coverage, making the pack useful for planning routine printing and replacements.

The ink is smudge-resistant, helping keep printed pages tidy for everyday handling.

Worth noting

This Yanyink pack contains four compatible LC501 black ink cartridges. Each cartridge has a stated yield of up to 250 pages when printing at 5% coverage on A4 paper. Actual page use varies with the amount of ink on each page, so text documents and pages with heavier coverage may use ink differently. The four-cartridge format suits people who prefer to keep replacements ready rather than order cartridges one at a time.

The cartridges are compatible with the MFC-J1260DW, MFC-J1360DW and MFC-J1410DW printers. They use intelligent chips to support installation and printer recognition. As a replacement-cartridge option, this pack is geared towards maintaining black printing in those specific printer models, rather than choosing ink by colour or printer family alone. Check your printer’s model before selecting cartridges so the LC501 format matches your device.

Best use cases

Use the black cartridges for regular printing on plain paper, including correspondence, forms, school or work documents, and charts where clear black text is useful. A smudge-resistant feature is a practical benefit when pages may be picked up, sorted or filed soon after printing. For households or workspaces that print regularly, having four cartridges together also makes it easier to keep the same replacement format available as the current cartridge runs low.

If your printing is occasional, buying a single replacement at a time may better match your routine. This pack is more suited to people who want several compatible black cartridges ready for repeated use in one of the listed printers. Its page-yield figure offers a reference point for planning, while the stated 5% coverage helps set expectations for how that figure relates to typical printed content.

Practical tips

Before ordering, match the printer’s full model number to the compatible list. When it is time to replace a cartridge, follow the printer’s usual cartridge-replacement steps and allow the device to recognize the installed cartridge. If recognition does not happen immediately, remove the cartridge and insert it again, as directed in the product guidance.

For more predictable cartridge planning, consider what you print most often: pages dominated by text use ink differently from documents with denser black areas. Keep the remaining cartridges available as replacements, and use plain paper for everyday documents as specified for this cartridge type.

Final verdict

For owners of an MFC-J1260DW, MFC-J1360DW or MFC-J1410DW who want compatible black ink in a ready-to-use multi-pack, these Yanyink LC501 cartridges combine a four-cartridge supply with a stated yield of up to 250 pages per cartridge at 5% coverage. The smudge-resistant ink and printer-specific compatibility make the pack a practical fit for ongoing black document printing.
