Lexmark X5650 printer ink cartridge

Cartridge Concept offer discount Lexmark ink cartridges for this printer and advise purchase of the high yield ink cartridges black 36XL and colour 37XL, greatest savings found with the twin pack 80D2966. Photo cartridge Lexmark 31 is also listed at discount.

There are two different sizes of black and colour cartridges available for the X5650. The 36 black is supposed to print up to 175 pages while the 36XL should do 475 pages and the 37 is estimated to do 150 pages and the 37XL 500 pages. In the real world it is unlikely that you will reach these values but the XL's are definitely cheaper in the long run. The X5650 also takes a no. 31 photo cartridge for improved photo prints.

The X5650 is a reasonable printer. Bold text was a little fuzzy but ordinary text was black and clear. Business graphics on the X5650 were rather pale although there was no evidence of banding and registering of black text over colour was good. It took the X5650 about a minute to print six pages of ordinary text although it doubled that in draft mode.
