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"!

Summary: O.K.
Review: This is a nice color ink jet cartridge (it's the only one I can use for my Lexmark Z11). It has nice color and performs well for the average home / light business user.

However, it doesn't last very long and sometimes it doesn't even use all of the ink before the printer begins sending out error messages about the ink being low. That's why I gave it 3 stars, otherwise I would have been satisfied with it enough to rate it 4 stars.

There is a higher yield cartridge (12A1985 for color, 12A1975 for black) that Lexmark has available for the Z11s and others. But these cartridges are also more expensive.

It also tends to get a bit crumbly with time. But then again, so does some laser inks.

Review: Well the ink lasts long in the cartridge but at the botom of it is the problem. Once the the cartridge prints on a hard surface instead of the paper for example when there is a printer jam or no more paper, that is the end of the cartridge. It is no good anymore. It would not print good.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Color, do not refill.
Review: You can expect the Lexmark ink catridges to work as well as any other inkjet printers or cartridges. I have had very good luck printing from my Lexmark 3200, photos and otherwise. I have tried to refill the cartridges using refill kit and have found that to be a bad idea. I believe that the printer heads are really only meant to last as long as one filling. After printing using a refilled cartridge you will notice the quality degrading quickly, this makes sense because Lexmark (and all other printer manufacturers) make much of their money on the cartridges.
