3.0 out of 5 stars Great print quality, fair price, but there's a catch..., December 5, 2000
By "glenoldenmill" (Glenolden, PA United States) - See all my reviews
The quality of this ink is great. It's indeed water proof, but obviously the paper has to be of good quality as well.

The price is somewhat on the high side and can add up quickly if you print a lot of full text pages. Most likely you're going to use this cartridge in a color printer, so better buy a few ahead of time.

Unfortunately, Lexmark's cartridges are proprietary so you won't find any 3rd party brands on the market (Compaq Printer = Lexmark Printer). This will ensure that Lexmark has full control over the price you pay.

Lexmark's proprietary design isn't flawless. Should a paper get jammed at the printhead (by a corner curled by a bad feed), you'll have to pray that the head wasn't damaged.

Be sure not to leave the printer (cartridge) unused for more than two weeks, otherwise the ink will dry on the heads. This can sometimes be solved by placing the cartridge in a dish with COLD water for about 5 minutes. But usually it's the end of the cartridge - so much for a 3/4th full cartridge!

If you encounter a problem with the cartridge (or the printer), don't bother calling Lexmark's support number. You'll have to deal with ill-manered and inexperienced technicians.

3.0 out of 5 stars these work well when fresh, those saved for later are risky, July 31, 2001
Don't buy these for keeping as a backup; these cartridges in actuality work very well when they are fresh, but I am finding that there is a 50% risk that a saved backup cartridge won't print right. I have now had two new cartridges that I have bought at different times as a backup supply and not used right away that have failed to print right (truncates text horizontally), even after cleaning the nozzles numerous times and re-aligning the cartridge according to the printer's control program. This problem occurs right after installation of the replacement cartridge (not after a period of printing correctly), and this seems to now always happen with the cartridge that was not installed when purchased, but some time later (2-3 months later). A fresh cartridge has resolved the problem in the past. ....

2.0 out of 5 stars Waterproof, but definitely not smear-proof, April 5, 2000
By Erik Harris (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews
Lexmark's waterproof black ink seems to degrade very quickly. After having a cartridge for a few months, the ink starts to smear badly when touched (even after drying for days or weeks). After 3 cartridges, I'm convinced that this is a consistent problem with Lexmark's ink. Unfortunately, with no alternative available, those of us with Lexmark's printers (that use this ink) are stuck with smearing ink, and no help from Lexmark (repeated emails have yielded no interest in resolving the problem. They say "some minor smearing is normal," and don't address the major smearing).
The NON-waterproof COLOR ink does not have this smearing problem. (12A1980)
Other than the smearing ink, I love my Lexmark 5700. If I could get good black ink for it, it would be perfect.
