4.0 out of 5 stars Getting the MOST from your Z23 Ink Cartridges, November 23, 2003

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Tips for Unclogging, January 15, 2005

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only lasted several months then died, October 5, 2002

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.
