This review is for both the #4 and #5 Lexmark ink cartridges. I have a Lexmark x4690 printer and the #'s 4 (black) and 5 (color) are the only ones that can be used for this printer. So for the last 5 years, that's what I've been using and everything prints fine. Recently I've started printing photographs and have tried the #31 (color photo, also the only one recommended for my printer), and is inserted in #4's regular slot to be used it with the #5. With this combination, the #5 is used up much quicker than its regular, normal output, but I've also noticed that there isn't any discernible difference, to me anyway, if I still use the #4 with the #5 when printing photos instead of the 31. #5's yield is definitely better that way. And since the 31's are more expensive, that's what I'll be doing after I use up my 31's. In the meantime, for regular printing, both the #'s 4 and 5 work just how they're supposed to. I haven't had any problems in all this time. That's good for me since those are the only black and color cartridges my printer accepts and they are supposed to be used together, although you can override the printer and use only the #4 is you run out of 5's. Hmm, I wonder if it works the other way, using only the 5 w/o the 4? I haven't tried that. I think I will. Later.
