Finally the ink cartridges are a little more affordable in this combo pack. Save around $7 over buying them separately. These are the high-yield cartridges, which do seem to last a reasonable amount of time.

When I recently got a new printer, I decided to stick with the name-brand cartridges, as I had a lot of problems with my old one possibly due to using re-manufactured cartridges–clogged jets, poor print quality. Now that I only use the name brand new cartridges, I haven't had any quality problems at all. Worth the extra expense.

5.0 out of 5 stars OK capacity, good print quality, OEM cartridges, April 8, 2009

This review is from: Lexmark 18C0535 High-Yield Black And Color Ink Cartridges - 1 Black and 1 Color (Office Product)

I needed to print 4 booklets, 17 pages 8.5x11 inches each plus a cover. The pages are pretty colorful with background images, embedded images, borders and text in color. My old cartridges ran out just as I was about to start, so the capacity info that I'm about to give you is based on that single print job.

I printed the cover plus one other page at "Photo quality" (total of 9 sheets because I printed 1 incorrectly and had to re-do). For the remaining 16 pages (total 66 because of 2 re-do's) I allowed the printer to set the quality. All pages were on 24 pound HP Inkjet paper. I used the "Borderless" option for all pages.

After printing, 11 of 12 bars on the Ink Status scale remained for the Black cartridge. Only 5 of 12 bars remained for the color. My experience with Lexmark printers and cartridges is that they still have several pages left when the scale reads zero.

The print quality was quite good. Several of the people who saw the finished product wanted to know what kind of printer was used. Good uniform color with no smearing or blurring.

Be careful that you know where these are coming from when you order them. I think the complaints in some of the reviews here about re-filled cartridges may be because they were purchased from one of the 3rd party sellers. I got mine directly from Amazon. They were brand new, factory sealed Lexmark OEM cartridges.

EDIT: A few days after posting this, I did my Federal and State Tax Returns (with TaxCut). Each return was about 8 pages, so with copies of each that's about 32 pages. No effect on Color Ink Status, 1 more bar consumed on Black Ink Status.

We all know you can buy cheaper Ink elsewhere, but in the printer cartridge market, you definitely get what you pay for. I have had very bad experiences with off-brand cartridges, especially for Lexmark printers for some reason, so I always find myself coming home to buying the original OEM cartridges, and paying the extra money. These extended / high yield cartridges really are amazing in how much ink they hold. It seems like forever between cartridge changes using the high yield. I don't even bother with the standard yield cartridges anymore ..... these are a much better value.
