Quote from leorising :
Can you use generic ink on this one? I don't want to be forced into buying overpriced ink.
Yes, third-party (compatible) ink cartridges are available for the Brother MFC-J1360DW.
### Key Details:
- OEM cartridges: The printer uses Brother LC501 (standard yield) and LC501XL (high yield) series inks (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
- Third-party options: Many retailers sell compatible/remanufactured versions that fit this model, including:
- CompAndSave
- 4inkjets
- Clickinks
- LD Products
- Amazon (various brands like Cool Toner, etc.)
- Others like 123inkjets
These are significantly cheaper than genuine Brother cartridges.
### Important Caveats:
- Brother's official stance: They recommend using only genuine Brother ink. Using third-party cartridges or refilling with non-Brother ink may cause print quality issues, cartridge recognition problems, or void the warranty (though warranty impact is often limited after the initial period).
- User experiences: Many people successfully use third-party inks with good results, especially for high-volume printing (e.g., the Reddit thread discussing this exact model). Quality varies by brand—stick to reputable sellers with money-back guarantees.
- Availability: Both standard and XL compatible packs are easy to find online.
If you're looking to save money and don't mind potential minor risks, third-party options are a popular choice. For the most reliable performance, go with genuine Brother cartridges. Let me know if you want specific product recommendations or links!

Brother updated their software a ways back preventing generic use on newer models. With that said, you may want to google to see if there's a 'hack' to get around their sotftware.

Have used only Brother printers for 20 years now. Still have a model that takes the generic inks at a cost of $1-1.25 each.
according to a google AI answer, yes, Can't personally vouch for this model, but you can google to verify the info yourself.
