Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Edit 10/4/09: With a bit over 1500 pages on the Tally cartridge, wide bands caused by poor toner distribution appeared on either side of the pages. About 1.5 inches on either side. It started to affect most documents, rendering the printer unusable save for the very roughest of drafts. I reinstalled the old lexmark cartridge that was removed with a few hundred remaining pages worth of toner and it prints just fine. The tally is going in the garbage. Save your money: don't buy refilled toner cartridges (that's what the tally is).
Original review:
With a bit of trepidation I ordered one of these (july 2009) as I have had bad luck with aftermarket refilled cartridges in my Lexmark E250DN.
What caught my eye was the 9,000 page capacity. Lexmark only makes 3,500 page cartridges for the E250 series (and that's all that documentation says it will take). I didn't think it would work, or if it did it would only register as a 3.5K cartridge and be in an extended state of low toner after that number of pages. I was wrong.
Upon installation it registered with the printer as 9,000 page capacity. Printed output is as crisp as a factory Lexmark cartridge.
The only negative is the thing came coated with toner requiring a messy cleanup before installing. This may have been a shipping issue, but the special wrap appears they anticipated this. If getting toner all over your hands doesn't appeal then stick with factory cartridges.
It seems this is periodically in stock at Amazon. If not it may be special ordered from provantage. At the same price as a factory cartridge (or even slightly less) if it fulfills the 9,000 page advertised capacity this is a great deal. I'll update this when I know, but at my printer's usage rate it will take a year...
