“High Yield?!?” The cartridge works fine, but seems to drain awful fast for a high yield cartridge. Also, this is designed specifically so you cannot refill it yourself or at any local shops to save money. I’d avoid printers that require this cartridge if possible.

Change sensor way too early
I use my printer mostly for receiving fax. The change cartridge sensor, I’m told is in the cartridge, indicates a critical shortage and stops after every batch. It asks if the quality was OK & to enter the number 1 if it is. This is supposed to be the notice to change the cartridge. What a pain! I get at least 450 more copies after this but have to baby sit the printer for every fax. It would be fine if you I could override this sensor but that’s not possible. For the price I would expect a better fine tuned sensor than this brand has. …more info

Just like the real deal!

This product is just like the original ink; no difference as far as I can tell. It is a great buy. My copies are dark and legible and the ink lasts a long time. I really cannot tell the difference except in price. I do recommend it. The price is right and the product is worth it….more info

High yield costs more for reduced quality (not more ink)
It appears that the high yield functionality of the #34 cartridge isn’t such a great deal after all. Rather than providing more ink, Lexmark has just dialed down the amount of ink dispensed per print. What comes out crisp black with regular #24 cartridge appears dull gray with the #34 (we compared prints). Even worse, the quality settings in the printer software don’t allow you to choose higher quality. As if these cartridges weren’t already enough of scam now Lexmark will let you pay more for a lower quality product and not even make this difference clear in the product description.
