Lexmark ink questions.

Could I use a diferent ink for my lexmark S605 ?

• Its very expensive to use the Lexmark S605 as the black ink cost around £15 and I really cant afford that and with the colour prices even higher . I was Wondering if I could use a different type of Lexmark ink or a different ink brand as I am currently studying at university and I cant afford paying that much for a ink .

• Answer:

  You can use none oem inks, as long as they are specifically designed for your particular printer All ink cartridges are printer specific. They may fit and look alike, but the electrical contacts will not match up. Ink cartridges are only good for the printer they were designed for Refilling cartridges are simple enough, but at times refilled ink cartridges may work, but mostly not. Most printers will not recognize refilled ink cartridges. Once the ink is exhausted, the chip expires. Refilling them may be a costly gamble on your part. So to save you any grief, it may be advantageous on your part to just replace the ink cartridge..
