Lexmark #50 OEM: While the ink itself is quite good--dries fast and stands out--The cartridge stops working half-way through after only occasional use. Even After the performing a "Cleaning" process, it still will not print a regular document.
I know it still has plenty of ink because it prints wide black bands during the cleaning process; however, once you start printing a document, it fades out after the 1st couple of lines.
My guess is that once opened, the ink dries quickly inside the cartridge!
I also tried several re-manufactured/compatible cartridges, but the ink is usually gray instead of black, and it smudges quickly if you touch it with a wet hand. Not to mention that the nozzles are often clogged on those refurbished cartridges right out of the box and no matter how many "cleanings" you perform.
Conclusion: if you have a Lexmark Printer, you're stuck & better-off with an OEM Lexmark Cartridge. Consider buying a different-brand printer in the future after proper research.
