Hi there. The cartridge may not be seated properly in the carrier or just needs cleaning. Try to remove the cartridge from the printer. Grab a damp paper towel and place it on the table. Set the cartridge on the towel with the nozzles facing down. Draw about 2-3 lines in one direction to wipe clean the nozzles. Re-insert the cartridge in the printer. Try to print. If it's still not improving, do some test pages or deep clean cartridges on the printer. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Will a lexmark 71 black print cartridge work in a lexmark printer z705?

No it won't fit your machine. The Z705 takes the Lexmark #55 black ink cartridge. Just because a cartridge looks and maybe is the same size as another does not mean it will work in another printer. Ink cartridges have a specific connectors and chips that will only work in certain printers. Also the type of ink and nozzle size are also designed specifically for certain printers.I suggest looking around online and buy the Lexmark #55 black ink cartridge.

The yellow in your color cartridge is probably empty. Run a test sheet through to see what colors print. Or just change your cartridge.


Why wont your Epson printer print when it does not have one ink cartridge?

A dual-bay ink jet printer is designed to not print unless both bays have cartridges inserted. If you aren't printing color documents, you can leave an empty color cartridge in the color ink bay and the printer will work because all printing (even color) includes the B&W cartridge.


Why do colored printers eat so much ink?

Each color cartridge has 3 small tanks of different colored ink. If the cartridge is the same size as the black cartridge, each color tank is 1/3 the size of the tank in the black cartridge. If you do not NEED a color copy, when you print, select properties, and check "print in greyscale" or "Black and white". You will get a black and white copy and save your color ink.
