I noticed that you omitted the Lexmark stated speed of this product. Was this in error?
In the US Lexmark states a speed of Draft Black at up to 33ppm and Draft Color at up to 30ppm. (I do not know any one who uses draft mode). You stated in your test that you got approx. 6ppm on a 20page test. This is not even close to Lexmark’s stated speeds.
Lexmark here also states that 1cent black cost per page. After looking on their web site for about 15minutes to find the cartridge yield. The only way someone could get that price is using their return to Lexmark program and their 105XL high yield black ink. Which is somewhat misleading because when most people need ink they will go to the closes store and pick up some and throw out the old. The nearby office supply store only sales the standard cartridge, the standard yield is approx 170 pages and cost $16.80, which is about 10cents per page. Another stores sales the 100xl high yield black ink with a yield of 510 pages at $24.95 which becomes approx 5cents per page. I do not know what the difference is between the 105XL cartridge and 100XL cartridge as they both state 510-page yield.
I have a question? If there stated speed is so far off from reality then could their corresponding cartridge yield statement also be that far off as well?
Just my 2 cents worth and that is exactly what it is worth because I tested it.
