Choosing Compatible Ink Cartridges
Using high-quality compatible cartridges is an economical choice for everyday household printing. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Stocking Ink for Your Lexmark Printer
If you print mainly text documents, keeping a spare tri-colour cartridge on hand ensures uninterrupted workflow. If you print photos or colour graphics, monitor ink levels closely as tri-colour tanks deplete quickly during heavy colour coverage. Our compatible cartridges are backed by a money-back guarantee under our returns policy if they fail to perform. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip for Tri-Colour Ink Cartridges
Because tri-colour cartridges integrate cyan, magenta and yellow into a single unit, printing balanced documents helps deplete all three colours evenly and maximises total page yield before replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Lexmark X5250 and X5270 printers use the same ink cartridges?

What happens when one colour runs out in the 33 tri-colour ink cartridge?
