Summary: Tips for Unclogging
Review: Good ink, but I thought I had run out of ink at one point, but the problem was that it was clogged. The "clean the nozzle test" didn't work (as usual). So I placed the nozzle holes carefully in warm water for a few minutes. I had a teapot with water boiling. Once I got some steam, I put the bottom part of the cartidge to the steam. Once I saw "ink beads" appeared, I cleaned it and right away put them in my printer and printed something. It works well again. So, before you go buy these expensive cartidges, try these tips and see if they will work again.

Summary: Only lasted several months then died
Review: I added the black cartridge to my Lexmark Z23. Printing
was good for several pages of text. After sitting for
several weeks, I needed to run the clean routine several
times to get rid of the streaking (color has the same problem).
After sitting for an another couple of weeks, streaking again.
Several cleanings did not fix the problem this time.
I will not be replacing these expensive cartridges. My money
would be better spent on a different printer.

Summary: Inkjets clog and can't be cleaned open
Review: I liked my Lexmark Z when I first got it; however, after it sat for about 3 weeks, the inkjet clogged. A thorough cleaning freed the blue and red colors, but the yellow (even though it was nearly full) could not be cleaned after several attempts...

Summary: You're going to need this!
Review: I recently got a Lexmark Z23 printer when I bought my new iMac. The printer works very well. However, you should know that in order to get a good solid black, you need to have the black cartridge. The color cartridge (10N0026) will provide a nice black, combining the magenta, cyan and yellow. But the black cartridge is almost mandatory for any real depth to your graphics. Or a clean type treatment.

Summary: Getting the MOST from your Z23 Ink Cartridges
Review: Lots of people complain about clogged - yet not empty - ink cartridges. The Lexmark Z23 cartridges are no different. It is usually ineffective to use the Lexmark's software to clear a major clog. Better to simply remove the cartridge from the printer and set it in a shallow pan of warm water that just covers the nozzles. Soak it for at least an hour, dab off the water with a clean lint-free cloth and try it again.If you like to refill your cartridges and find them clogging more and more often, refill them with just water - you'll be amazed!

Summary: Printer Cartridge for Lexmark Z23
Review: The cartridge prints very crisp and clear. Installation easy.
Objection? I haven't found any refills available for it. Just have to buy a new cartridge when it gets empty.

Summary: Every one is correct
Review: What all the other reviewers say is true. The cartridge prints nicely; you do get sharp printing and a very dark black. However, mine has clogged and become useless. It has not run out of ink; multiple cleanings cannot open up those clogged jets. For the price, you'd expect to be able to use the cartridge for a few months, but you can't.
Advice? I'll be cleaning the cartridge every few weeks in an attempt to keep those tiny holes running free.
