1.0 out of 5 stars Don't BUY unless you want to pay for ink you don't use!!!, July 23, 2010

This review is from: Lexmark Interact S605 Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer with Web-Enabled Touchscreen (Office Product)

My boyfriend and I were using this printer to send out mass amounts of letters for his company. It works fine and everything, except for the occasional paper jam which can be frustrating, but what was really frustrating is how much we were paying for ink. We were printing letters that were all in black lettering except for our email which was in blue. For some reason however all of our ink levels were going down like crazy and we weren't even using those colors or should have been using very little. We would take the ink cartridges out and touch the sponge tip where the ink came out and it was still very much moist however the printer wouldn't allow us to print if any of the cartridges were "empty".

I ended up doing a lot of research and even taking apart one of the ink cartridges. I found that there is a small chip attached to each cartridge that has a small amount of memory to keep track of how many pages are printed with that ink cartridge. Once it reaches a certain number of pages it claims it's empty and needs to be replaced. When I found this out I was so frustrating since it wasn't actually checking the levels or amount of ink remaining. So here I was paying for the ink but I couldn't even use it all.
And there is no way to reset the chip and refill the cartridges yourself. It was such a waste of money. I guess most ink cartridges and printers use this kind of technology but some you can buy a chip re-setter and refill them yourself...which is what I plan on doing.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY VERY VERY EXPENSIVE FOR INK, September 6, 2010

This review is from: Lexmark Interact S605 Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer with Web-Enabled Touchscreen (Office Product)

This thing is ok and mostly does what it says it will although the so called Smart Solutions are a pain to set up.

However my real issue with it is the HUGE cost of printing.

From the print out on the self test I have had it 253 days and printed only 138 pages. These were 99% simple text letters (perhaps one or two - literally small photographs when I first bought it to see how it managed) The ink is now asking for the cartrides to be replaced. On the Lexmark website it is about £60 for a full set of high capacity refills. This means that it will be costing FORTY THREE PENCE per page of SIMPLE TEXT! according to my calculations.

I think this is just insupportable and am taking it back to Costco for a refund as I believe its basically a device designed to extort money out of its owners for ink. As others have said you cant refill the units as the chips dont appear to be resettable (although I have tried a few of the suggestions having googled the problem.

I will be going back to my Oki C3100 Colour laser for which 20,000 page refill set can be had on Amazon today for £80 which gives a per page price of 0.4p!!!! OK so maybe its ten times more (it wont be but lets suppose) it will still be 4p a page not FORTY!

Its a shame that the ink jet printer manufacturers (or many of them) appear to be acting as a cartel to extort the domestic customer in this way and perhaps the European Commission competition Czars will look into it?

I will email my euroMP and see what they have to say.

BE VERY CAREFULL WHEN BUYING INKJET PRINTERS in regards to the ACTUAL cost of printing not the idealised one suggested by the manufacturers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Be warned on ink usage and cartridges, December 16, 2009

This review is from: Lexmark Interact S605 Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer with Web-Enabled Touchscreen (Office Product)

I purchased this printer the other day to replace my Lexmark X74. The X74 printer still works perfectly (in WinXP), but will not work with the new Windows 7 OS. There is no new driver available for it. Lexmark has determined that the printer is too old and they will not develop a new printer driver for it. So, I was basically forced to upgrade my printer.

I really liked my old Lexmark so I decided to purchase another one. I did some research and settled on the S605. I liked the look of it and the wireless feature so I purchased it and took it home to set up on my wireless network.

I have to tell you that the installation went flawlessly. As mentioned in some of the reviews I read, that reading and following the directions made it go smoothly. In about 30 mins. I had all THREE of our computers setup and printing with this printer.

I gave this printer a 3 star rating due to it's printer cartridges. I am a little disappointed that the cartridges can't be refilled and are a little pricey. The cartridges (#100) have a chip installed in them that prevents the cartridges from being refilled. I've had my X74's cartridges refilled in the past and they worked perfectly - and cost a lot less than new cartridges. I only hope that I can at least get close to the number of pages printed, that Lexmark says I should get. Somehow, I don't believe that's going to happen. Probably will turn out like the estimated mpg your supposed to get on your new car - time will tell.
