Lexmark announced its extension of its Prebate-style program to
inkjet supplies. On Tuesday, September 12, 2006, Lexmark released the
new Z845 single-function inkjet printer.

The Z845 supplies are offered at a $4 upfront discount, but subject
to the following restrictions: �Lexmark Return Program: The #28 black
cartridge reflects a $4 up-front discount compared to alternative
cartridges in exchange for agreeing to return the used cartridges
only to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycling.�

Apparently Lexmark has also incorporated another lovely feature of
the laser Prebate program: the killer chip. According to a source
from the media, the printer has a chip that detects a refilled
cartridge and turns off the printer.


Lexmark's polite way of saying to Lexmark printer owners: "You will
hand over that $50 to Lexmark or you will not be using your printer
tonight".
It's all about money. They want you to give that $50 to them instead
of keeping $49 of it in your own pocket after spending $1 on good
compatible ink.




There is no good generic ink. And all compatible means is the ink
squirtes out fo a nozz


Again you insist on lying when you have no experience to speak of. I
owned a decent Lexmark and there was absolutely no visible difference in
color, fading or clogging between Lexmark and the compatible ink I used
for it (from Atlantic Inkjet). It was a great product for a minor league
printer.
