Sharp UXC70B Black Inkjet Cartridge

You can save some money by buying lexmark 17 cartridge and cutting off a small portion of the top (green) part on the left side. They're the same cartridge. Staples has the lexmark carts for around $21 USD.

If you rely on your fax machine to do business, don't get this one. The yield rating is way off. If your faxes have any substance at all, you may expect 60-70 pages of output or less. Regret the purchase and the millions of dollars spent on ink cartri

This cartridge didn't print no where near the amount is claimed. I use it in a fax machine, and I printed only a few faxes of a few pages each when it ran out. I tried refilling it, and it messed up my NEW fax machine! Now the machine won't print at all!

The cartridge supplied with this FO-1600 is meant to do 300 pages. Mine did about 20 pages before giving up. Replacement cartridges at $ 66 is ridiculous. Lesson- next time review the running cost of cartridge replacement as a major criteria.

The other review are right on line with my experience! I just paid 39.01 (incl tax) for a replacement cartridge that probably holds about 4 oz. of ink. The price of what appears to be a great fax machine and is highly rated by Consumer Reports (don't they consider the price of replacement carts?), is cancelled out by this high cost and low output. My next move is a generic ink refill kit to see if that will work. IN SHORT, DON'T BUY SHARP PRODUCTS WHEN THEY RAPE YOU WITH THE HIGH COST OF CONSUMABLES!

I agree with all the others who bought this machine thinking it was a great deal. It is, except that its only a great deal for Sharp. Had I known about the grossly distorted pages per cartridge issue, I would have spent an additional 25.00 to 50.00 and gotten a competing brand that I have had real good luck with in the past, and they don't rip you off for ink cartridges. I tried to contact Sharp- it seems they could care less- they are laughing all the way to the bank, but its the last time I'll buy any Sharp product. Who's laughing now??!!

This product is a rip-off. The cartridge contains a pitifully small supply of ink, and does not come near the advertised capacity of 500 pages. Perhaps if you only received blank sheets it might. However, much money can be saved by going to a local supplier who can replace the ink. Not only is it less than half the cost, if you speak nicely they will put far more ink in than the suppliers.

What a shock -- ink cartridge gives me only 60 - 80 pages, and that's with the ink saver feature turned on. You might get 500 pages if each page has only three words on it! I'll have to throw the machine in the garbage and buy another so as not to have to spend 70 per week for ink. My 18 year old Sharp thermal unit used one 1.90 roll of paper for the same 90 pages! It's too bad the Hiroshima bomb didn't miss all the people and just destroy the Sharp corporation instead.

I was very pleased with the performance of my new Sharp fax machine--even after I only got about 20 pages from the cartridge that came with it. After all, it was a starter cartridge. I went out to buy a new one and was stung by the high price (32.95 that day). Still, the machine worked great. However, when I got less than 100 pages before the machine was telling me the ink cartridge was low, I got very upset. I was even more upset when I went back to the store for another cartridge and the price at both the major office supply stores had jumped 5.00 to 37.95! For one hundred pages?????? I bought it because I was desperate, but I am going to have to junk my brand new machine for a different model. Another Sharp? I think not!

Comments:
What the other reviewers have said about the ink capacity of the cartridges is absolutely true. The cartridges are inadequate and grossly over priced. I am unlikely to buy another Sharp product of any kind.
