 Tips for Unclogging |
| Good ink, but I thought I had run out of ink at one point, but the problem was that it was clogged. The "clean the nozzle test" didn't work (as usual). So I placed the nozzle holes carefully in warm water for a few minutes. I had a teapot with water boiling. Once I got some steam, I put the bottom part of the cartidge to the steam. Once I saw "ink beads" appeared, I cleaned it and right away put them in my printer and printed something. It works well again. So, before you go buy these expensive cartidges, try these tips and see if they will work again. |
 Works fine with Compaq IJ650 |
| I have a Compaq IJ650, which uses the Lexmark 10N0016 cartridge. I have this printer for more than 2 years and never had problem with clogged cartridges, as said in other reviews. It works fine and have a nice printing. |
| Getting the MOST from your Z23 Ink Cartridges |
| Lots of people complain about clogged - yet not empty - ink cartridges. The Lexmark Z23 cartridges are no different. It is usually ineffective to use the Lexmark's software to clear a major clog. Better to simply remove the cartridge from the printer and set it in a shallow pan of warm water that just covers the nozzles. Soak it for at least an hour, dab off the water with a clean lint-free cloth and try it again. If you like to refill your cartridges and find them clogging more and more often, refill them with just water - you'll be amazed! |
