Well, I hauled the nonfunctioning Lexmark 34/35 "compatibles" back to InkStop this afternoon. Guess Kid Behind the Counter from Saturday must be back in school. His BIg Sister, who sold me the original pair, was back. Only today she was accompanied by Gramps, who I guess runs the place. Both of them repeated Kid's suggestion that I trade in their cartridges for a pair of OEMs, but to their credit and their company's, they didn't hesitate to refund my money when I told them I'd already bought OEMs elsewhere.
Anyway, Gramps says they get around 4 per cent returns on their compatibles. He again repeats Kid's explanation that "some printers just can't use them." I wonder why. Assuming these *were* the right cartridges and were still in good working condition to start with, what could have been done to them in the process of merely shooting more ink into them that would convince the printer or operating system they were "invalid?" Even if they do have some kind of chip in them, how can it tell the difference between "genuine Lexmark" ink and something else? My suspicion is still that these cartridges were really a 32 and 33, respectively, and got mislabled. Either that or InkStop is contracting with a real butcher of a remanufacturer who's not testing the cartridges electrically (thus not catching those that have been run dry and have burned-out printheads) before going to the trouble of refilling them, and certainly isn't bothering with pulling enough of them from their finished production runs for adequate quality testing.
I don't mean to sound here like I'm bashing InkStop. After all, they did right by me when I returned the non-working cartridges, and they deserve kudos for that. I'm just trying to understand why they didn't work.
Anyone else out there with a Z1300 having a problem using compatibles or DIY refills?

He must have forgot the 0 after the 4.

Because they are junk

Why are you surprised. That is typically what you get from fly by niters.

They like their competitors will not tell you where they get the crap.

Do you think they are going to do that in China. And when they do and it is bad they will still ship and say it is good.

Lexmark is garbage to begin with so it really makes little difference what you use.

If you refill carts, you soon learn that they sometimes don't work. They wear out, burn out, clog and more. This can happen on the first refill or the 10th. For more information on why they fail, Google the ink refill sites.

That is true

Oh Yeah

They do not want you to know the truth. For that read PC World
