Ok so this ink doesn't last as long as you would hope, and the price isn't so cheap to replace. However, I do advise not to purchase the 44XL ink. I bought it in hopes that would last longer, but infact lasted just as the same as this 42 ink. But i print mostly powerpoints and essays (word documents) and it does produce more than 220 pages for me. So if no other option, i would choose this over the 44xl ink.

I am so furious right now that all I can say is WHAT A RIP OFF!!! I had to go all over town to find the cartridge in the first place, it was VERY expensive and then it lasted only 7 days for my everyday personal use. I don't print that much and only regular WORD documents mostly...no graphics or photos. Something needs to be done about this! There was NO WHERE NEAR 200 pages worth of ink in that cartridge! I have enjoyed Lexmark products for many years and now I feel that I'm being ripped off!

Comments about Lexmark 42 (18YO142) Black Ink Cartridge:

If you don't print very often, the cartridge dries up quickly. My printer (X7550)has been discontinued. I wonder how long it'll take Lexmark to discontinue this cartridge.
