No!!... It's No.1

Advantages: can be bought from many shops, can be recycled, easy to use
Disadvantages: its rather expensive

...I have used Lexmark ink cartridge since we got our Lexmark x5200 printer at the beginning of last year which was compatible with the Lexmark cartridge No.33. Lexmark No.33 is a colour ink cartridge which can be used by various Lexmark printers including series X3300, P900, X7100, X5200, P4300 etc. The colour cartridge is made of three colours of course (yellow, cyan and magenta). I've never really had problems with the cartridge at all; it is actually the printer which I had problems with as it died on us, which was rather a shame, Therefore we bought another brand printer, so no need of buying the Lexmark No.33. However the cartridge is very easy to insert. You just open the small red box, and use a scissors to cut the thick silver plastic, were the cartridge is stored. There is a little colourless strip which you got to...

Review of Lexmark Cartridge No. 33 - print cartridge (18CX033E)

The Cheap and cheerful ish Cartridge!

Advantages: Cheap, colour print is good, easy to insert
Disadvantages: Black comes out green! Runs out quickly VERY Quickly!

...Hello and welcome to this review! My gosh those trial cartridges that come with your printer sure do run out quickly! These cartridges are greatly priced, much cheaper than other brands such as HP! However, there is one problem I have come accross when using the Lexmark 1 Cartridge. That being - When black is printed, it doesn't quite come out black! Its more of a green colour. I understand this is because colours are mixed inside the cartridge to make black but the best colour they can make must be green:( I thought it may have been my printer however I bought a second and its exactly the same! I would definately say for the price of this printer and cartridge range It is good for people doing everyday printing, however if you are printing invoices etc and require that crisp look Im afraid you will not get it...

lexmark ink goes beyond the pale

Advantages: quality, easy to use, exceeds suggested amout to print
Disadvantages: none

...I use lexmark cartridge No 2 for my printer, they are readily available in PC World £14.99 and other shops stock them too Such as Tesco, Argos, etc. They come in a vibrant red box and has a large No 2 inside a rainbow ringed circle, with the Models it is suitable fo ( X2480 & X3480) clearly marked on the front of the box. Lexmark states on the box that they are the Original replacement cartridge with a new intergrated Print head to give you sharp Crystal clear results over time. They are very simple to fit into the printer just lift up the fixing cover and slot in to place and snap shut the holding lid, slide back in place in the printer. (dont forget to remove the sticky seal 1st). The ink lasts for approx 120 print outs, you get more than this if printing mainly black and white, or slightly less if printing a lot...

Review of Lexmark Cartridge No. 2 - print cartridge (18C0190E)

Lexmark must be making a huge profit!!!

Advantages: Available at a wide range of outlets
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive

...I have two Lexmark inkjet printers. One (Z605 model) is mine; the other (Z35) is on loan to me in connection with my degree course. Luckily, both printers use the same ink cartridges. These are: Z16/Z17 - black Z26/Z27 - colour The same ink cartridges are compatible with a range of Lexmark inkjet printers, notably: Lexmark Colour Jetprinters - Z13, Z23e, Z25, Z25L, Z33, Z34 Lexmark Colour Jetprinters - Z515, other Z600 series Lexmark All-In-Ones - X72, X74, X75, X1100 series **** So, what about buying the Z16 cartridges? **** They come in a nice, neat little pack. The Z16 code is prominently displayed, as is a full list of the compatible Lexmark printers. So, no need to remember the cartridge code if you have committed your printer model to memory. **** What do they cost? **** An arm and a leg!! No...

Review of Lexmark Cartridge No. 16 - print cartridge (10N0016)

THINK INK!

Advantages: Easily obtainable, good value, recyclable.
Disadvantages: Really just the idea of it not being a genuine new original!

...MY HISTORY WITH INK CARTRIDGES: From the time I bought my first printer, I have really had nothing but problems when it has come to keeping them supplied with ink! The brand named cartridges generally contain less ink for your money and so they need either need replacing more frequently, or you pay considerably more. My first printer, an Epson, was bought along with bottles of refill ink and a syringe to inject each colour into the colour cartridge, and a bottle of black for the other one. The salesman in PC World assured me it was easy? well it was the first time, apart from the mess! then the second time I just flooded the printer, and I had to buy new cartridges. My second printer a Lexmark, had the same thing happen and I eventually scrapped it! Now I have a HP PSE 1317 inkjet 3 in 1, and I love it, but the ink cartridges...

Review of Tesco Remanufactered Ink Cartridges

Tesco Cheap Ink Cartridge

Advantages: Cheap, Does the Job
Disadvantages: Printouts are not very good,Tends to smudge easily

...I purchasd this this third part ink cartridge whilst out shopping in my local Tesco store for just under £3 which seemed like a bargain so i thought i'd give it a go. I've used other third party ink cartridges in the past so thought i'd try this one out too since Tesco seem to make everything now. As with all third part ink cartidges,the initial prints are good and of acceptable standard considering that they can cost up to 90% less than the genuine original ink cartidiges. However as you print out a few more,mthe quality degrades considerably and you'll also notice that the ink does not last as long as the original ones do. The print outs are also prone to smudging and take ages to dry properly compared to the originals and the ink dries up faster if you haven't used them for a long time. I also found that using the printer cleaning...

Review of Tesco C53 Black Ink Cartridge

HP 350 ink cartridge

Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...As with all HP products you can expect great quality and crisp grey scale images. The benefit of using Original HP inkjet print cartridges is that they offer consistent print quality and reliable performance.With the HP 350 you can expect "archival-quality documents that resist fading for decades" thanks to HP Vivera Ink. Although HP print cartridges are coming down in price you can still expect to pay a lot more than other substitute brands. The real question is whether the extra money is worth it. With some of the alternative products on the market today I am inclined to believe you can the same quality for less money. Many alternative ink cartridges contain more ink than official HP cartridges, however the problem with these cartridges is not always being sure of the quality of the product you are buying, nor the reliabilty...

Review of HP 350 - print cartridge (CB335EE)

VIVANCO Ink Cartridge Replacements

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: can be messy

...With the ever growing cost of ink replacement cartridges everyone is looking for an alternative they can afford. One of the hardest printers to get cheap ink for are the Epson Stylus range. Technically you can not refill the ink cells, but that is a myth. Most business type computer outlets sell unknown ink brands in kit form with a syringe and instructions on how to fill the appropriate cartridge. Firstly i would not recommend refilling your old ones, It's messy, Awkward, and very rarely is effective, at least on a third or fourth refill. What i would recommend is a cartridge made by VIVANCO. Their cartridges are virtually exact duplicates of the original Epson range but they are only about 2 thirds of the cost. The ink quality is good and the print quality has no noticeable difference. However, if you own pretty much any other...

Review of Red-Shark - ink cartridges

No. 83? Is that supposed to mean something to me?!

Advantages: Quality colour
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it is! Only fits a small number of printers

...admit that if you liken to print off lots of colour pics, this isnt the best cartridge for you - it will run out quite quickly - despite the guarantee that it will print 450 pages! This cartridge will set you back between £15-25 depending on your retailer, but if you want to buy the real thing, its worth the money. Although make sure you clean your printer heads regularly to avoid any clotting of the ink on the rollers. If you dont want to keep forking out for these cartridges, its possible to get them refilled or buy cheap cartridges that are compatable with most lexmark printers for around £5-12. But be aware that some have a tendency to leak so ask your local retailer to recommend you one. or buy the genuine thing on ebay...i saw some going the other day for about £1.99. Anyway good luck and happy printing!!!!!!!!1...

Review of Lexmark Cartridge No. 83 - print cartridge (018L0042E)

Excellent Value for Money, good ink cartridge

Advantages: Cheap and reliable, lasts a fair while
Disadvantages: none really..

...Yeah i agree with the last comment really. Nice, reaonably priced good quality cartridge. They fit MOST of the hp printer range, but not all, Cheap ish, as far as ink cartidges go, not a bad price at all, and to be honest they do last a fair while, so the value for money is good Quality, not the best, but certainly more than adequate for good quality photos, i have always liked hp printers, for their quality of print, hence why i chose mine this time There isnt much more i can say about it to be honest, if you want a nice quality printer, choose one with this ink cartridge, nice price, nice quality, good product, i would recommend it. Ill give it a 5, i would give it a four, because the quality isnt the best available, but for the money, reliability, and time they last, they deserve a five....
