Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lexmark #17 Black Ink Cartridge (10N0217)Customer Review: The Cost Is About 50 Cents Per Page. Summary: 1 Stars
Lexmark printers are incredibly inexpensive and print off quality documents. A person can purchase a decent Lexmark printer for about the quarter of the price of other printers. The dirty little secret is that Lexmark really isn't in the business of selling printers, but of selling printer ink. The ink cartridges in a Lexmark printer only last for about 30-50 pages before emptying out. That's bad enough, but then when you go to purchase a new cartridge, such as this LEXMARK #17 BLACK INK CARTRIDGE (which is the standard cartridge for many Lexmark printers), it costs about half of what the price of the printer originally cost you. Purchase two of these cartridges and you've already spent about as much money as you spent on the printer. The ink quality isn't the best in the world, but it does print of a clean and crisp image. Still, for the price the cartridges cost, a person should be able to print at least 500 or so pages, but since printers require different types of cartridges, there's really not much you can do. You can buy an ink refill kit, such as those made by Nu-kote for about $10. If you are able to find one of those, you can easily fill your empty ink cartridges up 4-7 times. Eventually, you will have to buy another cartridge, but with the ink refill kit, the pain is lessened.
Customer Review: A con Summary: 1 Stars
The first time I bought my Lexmark printer the cartridge didnt even work but produced stripy lines. So I spent the cost of the printer on a brand new catridge. I set my printer settings on economy use, low quality printing and printed multiple pages. I use the stuff up within 3 weeks and couldnt have printed more than 200 pages at most.
The stuff is a product con. The printer is low priced and they make a horrendous margin on the printing ink, which costs about the same as the printer I used.
The quiality is ok, but the stuff gets used way to quickly.
Buyer beware.
Customer Review: Not happy with black ink cartridge OR colored one Summary: 1 Stars
The cartridge was apparently dried. I unwrapped it from a sealed container. Carefully inserted it and no print appeared. I carefully checked my printer and tried several more times. I then bought a new black cartridge at greater expense and it worked fine immediately. I shall not purchase ink cartridges from Amazon again since the same thing happened with the color cartridge.
