Lexmark 100XL Black High Yield Return Prog Ink Cartridge Twin Pack

I am pleased to have finally found this toner for my Lexmark Interpret printer. It does not seem to be sold in stores anymore. The ink is nice and dark and lasts a fairly long time. I just wish the price was lower (has gone up due to lack of availability).

NOT original Lexmark Ink Cartridges, Not Recognized by my Lexmark Printer Prospect Pro 205$50.00 down the tube...I should have realized they wouldn't work when even the top label didn't line up with other cartridges I have.Physically, it appeared to fit the carrier just fine and it did "begin" to print...Then I received a pop up, that the Ink Cartridge is not recognized and should be replaced.Rather than replace a brand new cartridge, I did all of the trouble shooting steps... clean contacts, remove and clean carriage, all of the things I just don't have time for in the middle of a project. Nothing helped restore function.I pulled the cartridge and replaced with a NEW, not refilled, 100XL Black Cartridge and I'm back in business without hickups.I am apparently a dullard, as I had this same problem about a year ago, also when I purchased a twin pack. I was fooled by the Official Lexmark Packaging.Please NOTE, there is a green label/portion of the package which states "Return Program Cartridge" so I thought I was doing something environmentally good by buying these.If I wanted to continue using these black cartridges in my printer, I have to remove and replace the cartridge for each and every print job. I plan to run a large print job, just go get "something" out of the cartridge, for now, they are on the shelf...I would NOT recommend these to friends and the savings is minimal as compared to fresh NEW cartridges.Disappointed to say the least.

For some strange reason the larger capacity (which, by the way, also has a larger cartridge) would not work in my printer. After installing the cartridge and closing the lid, the printer would then try to go through its internal processes of accepting the new cartridge - it did this by sliding the printer head to the right. Unfortunately, because of the design of the innards of my printer, the top of the ink cartridge kept hitting the inner frame of the printer. Naturally, the printer did NOT like this and notified me that were was an "error".I did this multiple times, each time ensuring that the cartridge itself was correct inserted, which it was. But no success. I then contacted Lexmark directly to see if they could help me with this situation, but they told me the same thing I was already doing. I finally gave up and return this ink cartridge back to Amazon for a full refund.I then ordered the Lexmark standard yield 100 ink cartridge - and it worked perfectly!Kudos to Amazon for offering me the possibility to return the High-Yield ink and refund me all my money (they even paid for the return shipping! That's just awesome) That's why I always come back to Amazon because they rock!

I purchased these in January 2016. I put one in my printer. The printer shows it is almost full, but after less then two months, no ink would show up on the paper. I then put in the other cartridge. The same thing happened. It worked fantastic for a few weeks and now no ink shows up on the paper. I guess the ink is drying out or something. The printer works wonderful when the cartridges are first inserted, but it only lasts a very short time. I have two almost-full cartridges, and I am out the cost of purchasing new ones. Wish I could have given a "no star."

Don't waste your time and money. I made the mistake of thinking these were genuine, and I so I didn't bother trying them out in the first 30 days. I clearly didn't read the 1 star reviews already on here. I opened the pack on day 35, and my Prospect 205 would not recognize the cartridge. I tried all the cleaning and restarting and aligning options recommended. I reached out to the seller to try and get a refund, but because I was past the 30 days, they didn't have to do anything.Very frustrating experience!
