Lexmark S315 Ink Cartridges
Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Your Lexmark S315 uses the 150XL ink cartridge series. Replacing individual 14N1614 Black or 14N1615, 14N1616, and 14N1618 colour cartridges only when depleted prevents wasted ink during regular document printing.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
High-yield 150XL cartridges are measured using the ISO/IEC 24711 standard for inkjet printing. Standardised testing assumes equal coverage across standard office documents, though printing heavy graphics or photos will deplete individual colour channels faster.

Key Consumable Advice
Always leave depleted colour cartridges installed in the printhead until you have a replacement 150XL ready to swap in; leaving an empty slot open allows air to dry out the printhead nozzles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a 150XL cartridge if my printer previously used standard 150 cartridges?
Yes, 150XL cartridges share the exact physical footprint as standard 150 cartridges and fit into the same slot, but they hold significantly more ink.
Why does my Lexmark S315 report low ink on a colour cartridge when I only print black and white?
Thermal inkjet printers use tiny amounts of colour ink during routine printhead priming and maintenance cycles even when printing monochrome text, causing colour cartridges to drain slowly over time.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs completely empty on the Lexmark S315?
The printer requires all four cartridges (14N1614, 14N1615, 14N1616, and 14N1618) to have ink present to operate, preventing printhead damage caused by firing dry ink chambers.
