Title: Waterproof, but definitely not smear-proof
Review: Lexmark's waterproof black ink seems to degrade very quickly. After having a cartridge for a few months, the ink starts to smear badly when touched (even after drying for days or weeks). After 3 cartridges, I'm convinced that this is a consistent problem with Lexmark's ink. Unfortunately, with no alternative available, those of us with Lexmark's printers (that use this ink) are stuck with smearing ink, and no help from Lexmark (repeated emails have yielded no interest in resolving the problem. They say "some minor smearing is normal," and don't address the major smearing).The NON-waterproof COLOR ink does not have this smearing problem. (12A1980)Other than the smearing ink, I love my Lexmark 5700. If I could get good black ink for it, it would be perfect.
