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

By	"spamranger" (Texas USA) - See all my reviews

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

By	ReaderGirl (USA) - See all my reviews

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Every one is correct, December 17, 2002

By A Customer

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.
