Summary: Has some cloggin problems...Tips
Review: Good ink, but ran out of the yellow very soon. I also 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: Good, but you need the black to make it better.
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 (10N0016) as well. The color cartridge 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: Great if you like being on the receiving end of a hot poker
Review: Seriously, this is great ink if you have a Lexmark printer - especially since nothing else will work (in my printer anyway). Lexmark has a reputation that seems deserved from my limited (one year) experience. Basically they are known to sell cheap printers (they do) and charge high prices for ink for those printers (which of course you need great quantities of). Moreover this ink does not last very long. Ok, that's just my experience, decide for yourself, and if you are already owned by Lexmark (I mean you own a Lexmark printer) then you have to buy this ink, so there you go. Enjoy it, it's fine ink.
