As for the ink cartridges in general, there's not a lot to say - they are ink cartridges and they work just fine when they are not defective.

That said I, like several others here, received a defective black ink cartridge. I figured out the problem - the black ones don't have the little plastic tray on them that they are supposed to have, inside the foil packaging. That led me to the obvious reality that some were improperly packed from the manufacturer, and the lack of the plastic tray on the cartridge allowed some to be punctured at some point.

I know this because I did notice a little puncture mark on the foil package of the black cartridge. I opened it carefully to find that ink had leaked out within the foil packaging. If the plastic tray had been there it would mostly likely not have happened.

Amazon is the best and they replaced my order immediately. I received another set that was just fine, but I think that was a stroke of luck for me because the black cartridge in the new set didn't have the plastic tray either. So, I can only figure that it's a hit & miss deal until they no longer have the ones that were improperly packaged by the manufacturer.

The Lexmark high yield DO have more ink and last longer! The thing is, don't trust the messages that pop up from Lexmark telling you it is low!! I have had messages popping up now for over a month! The ink is still great, not even light in color yet! So - the XL will last , do not throw it out until you see a decline in ink.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't be confused..., March 14, 2009

Just so you know, if this product is indeed a red box, it does NOT contain the high-yield version cartidges. The double pack that contains the XL black and XL color high-yield cartridges is silver and black, not red and black like the picture shown here. The red pack contains the standard sized cartridges.

EDIT: The seller has now changed the picture so that it matches the correct product. I highly recommend the "XL" cartridges at least 4 stars.
