Summary: Expensive but worth it
Review: I now have the Z53 which is totally awesome, but when all I had was my FREE little Z11 I bought a few of these and the output was amazing for such a cheapie printer.

I couldn't get TRUE black but I suspect that was mainly due to the fact that the Z11 is a single cartridge printer.

I did a tremendous amount of printing including a lot of graphics and these cartridges lasted far longer than the specs indicate.

One note: I tried a refill kit and it failed miserably.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Unpredictable quality
Review: I went through alot of these cartridges! It seems they use ink excessively (even when we were conscious of trying to print in "draft" mode,) and more often than I'd like to count, a new cartridge, just installed, would produce sub-quality prints ... leaving lines through the print, etc. Not happy.

Summary: A pretty good ink
Review: Lexmark's waterproof black ink seems to degrade very quickly. After having a cartridge for a few months, the ink starts to smear badly when touched (even after drying for days or weeks). After 3 cartridges, I'm convinced that this is a consistent problem with Lexmark's ink. Unfortunately, with no alternative available, those of us with Lexmark's printers (that use this ink) are stuck with smearing ink, and no help from Lexmark (repeated emails have yielded no interest in resolving the problem. They say "some minor smearing is normal," and don't address the major smearing). The ink is good and can be used with Z11 (the printer I have) . The ink is waterfproof and hasnt given me any problems except that if you are printing transperencies you got to let it dry...otherwise it smears(atleast it did for me).

The colors are crisp and overall I would recomend this( I guess with lexmark you can use only this ink).

Overall a good p[roduct..not that we could buy something else for teh printer ;)

Summary: Expensive but worth it
Review: The ink isn't terrible but it doesn't last too long. Before the indicator shows that it is empty, it stops printing. My Z31 is less than six months old and it's already giving me problems with the ink. I have to keep buying the ink or get a new printer, but I'm sure the same problems will arise in other printers. The ink isn't worth the money at all though.

Summary: COLOR IN, COLOR OUT
Review: The Lexmark color cartridge is a good product. It serves the purpose, does the job and provides good color quality. I have been very pleased with the work I have put out when using this cartridge.

First on my wish list, however, would be a longer lasting cartridge. I print for pleasure, not business and the amount of printing I do is minimal. The cartridge, however, seems to run low every other month. This is much faster than other printers and cartridges I have had in the past. I would like to see a cartridge that lasts longer so that I can change the title of my review from "Color in, Color out" to "Color in and stays in"!
