I recently got a Lexmark Z23 printer when I bought my new iMac. The printer works very well. However, you should know that in order to get a good solid black, you need to have the black cartridge (10N0016) as well. The color cartridge will provide a nice black, combining the magenta, cyan and yellow. But the black cartridge is almost mandatory for any real depth to your graphics. Or a clean type treatment.

Good ink, but ran out of the yellow very soon. I also 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.

I have always used this product. Did try to substitute once with a remanufactured brand and it fell quite short compared to the real Lexmark product. Highly recommend you stick with the real thing that this one is.

I had been purchasing this product from here. However my last order gave me several problem's and the container, quit at half use, the other order's from here gave me no problem's, so it could be just a one time problem. However, though I recommend these on that basis, I will purchase OEM products only. From Lexmark.

I'm happy with the price and fast service. This cartridge is fairly expensive (like all brand named ink), but I think it's worth it because of the excellent job it does printing photos. I will definitely keep using it.

Seriously, this is great ink if you have a Lexmark printer - especially since nothing else will work (in my printer anyway). Lexmark has a reputation that seems deserved from my limited (one year) experience. Basically they are known to sell cheap printers (they do) and charge high prices for ink for those printers (which of course you need great quantities of). Moreover this ink does not last very long. Ok, that's just my experience, decide for yourself, and if you are already owned by Lexmark (I mean you own a Lexmark printer) then you have to buy this ink, so there you go. Enjoy it, it's fine ink.

One of Amazons sellers sent me the wrong set of cartridges. I ordered this one and a number 16 black cartridge but was sent a set of 28 and 29s by that merchant. I couldnt get them to respond to emails and needed cartridges so I had to reorder.
Dont misread this review, the proper cartridge work just fine, I just got screwed by a merchant that Amazon is supposed to stand by and they didnt and neither did Amazon. So, I finally got this, part of the correct set of cartridges but still have a useless to me set of cartridges that Amazon nor the merchant that sold them will do anything about. Amazon is not flawless and they proved so well to me.

I've owned my Lex'Mark all in one printer X75 for some time now & the Ink cartridges I get from Target are the best! I've tried others in my printer & they don't work. Buy them from Target!The price is great! I've paid alot more for Ink cartridges in the past & their not worth it. Targets are!!!

This is a huge savings for what I pay for my ink. I was skeptical it would be of good quality because it was so cheap- I was dead wrong folks! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Will buy cartridges from this site again and again.

I bought this ink because it looked new and I do not trust buying cheap refilled ink online, so I bought from this seller. It has been about 6-7 months The ink is half full according to my printers clculation yet the ink is already dried up. It has actually already been dried up for a few months now I am just now writing up a review about it.
