What does the XL in the name Lexmark 200XL tricolor stand for? How is the 200 XL different from the 200?

XL gives you more printing. Its a larger capacity. I believe it qualifies for Lexmark exchange program. Cartiridges purchased through this program is cheaper but it also last a little less in terms of printing.

Hi, yes to my knowledge the XL indicates a higher amount of copies, example; 200 may do 500 copies and the 200XL may do 1,500 copies? Just remember that those are just examples of how many copies each cartridge may produce. Hope that helps out, but to be absolutely certain give Staples, or Office Depot a call to double check before purchasing!

I may be wrong but I think it means extended life, it lasts longer but I'm not sure.

XL just means there is twice as much ink in the cartridge. It cost more, but you replace it less frequently. That is how it was explained to me.

Lexmark 200XL yields up to 1600 pages per cartridge. Lexmark 200 yields up to 500 per cartridge. Check out the descriptions on most online retail stores before you buy.

To the best of my knowledge, you can not take the 200 Cartridge in and have the ink refilled but you can with the 200 XL. I recently purchased a 200 XL and I can not see the difference in the print quality.

It's a larger cartridge.... you get more copies. For the color, the difference is 1600 for the XL versus only 500 for the standard cartridge. (These are "average" numbers). You can go to http://www.lexmark.com/US/en/catalog/product.jsp?catId=cat170003&go;=tab-inktoner&p;rodId=6907 for more info

I can't say how they are supposed to look. I had absolutely no problem lifting out my old 36 black cartridge and sliding in the 36 XL. The printer is working perfectly. Sounds like a problem for Lexmark. Sorry.

Hi, Dawn the XL mean that Canon ink cartridges are high capacity ink cartridge, which means more ink per page printed and better quality and no ink smudging etc...in this case this would not apply to remanufactured ink cartridge like this one. With canon as I have the original ink cartridge is better you will get quality print per and the ink last longer. I brought two cartridges and the printer didn't recognize that it was new and it never work. Therefore, this isn't a profitable buy because you would how to go buy another two cartridges. Hope this helpful. Tks cheryl

Yes indeed. The XL just means Extended Life because they hold more ink. the worked really well in my HP Officejet Pro 8600 and are continuing to put out clean prints.

My printer is HP Deskjet #1510. I had a HP printer years ago and then a Lexmark. I hated the Lexmark. I am pleased with my new HP #1510 and can't comment on #1512 nor 2540 as I don't have either. I am not real smart with these things. I must admit it. I just know I am pleased with my latest printer.

YES. The XL is for "extra long." The cartridge is the same, just lasts 4x as long, and is a much better deal on money spent. There are 122 color and black, and 122XL color and black.

On a real Lexmark, there are 2 dotted lines right above the ink hole. I have noticed lately the refurbished only have one line. I don't know if that has any thing to do with it or not, but I sure would like to know the difference and why the price is so much cheaper.

My understandingis tHat xl ink will last longer than the other ink. They all vary by manufacture. Jus"t GOOGLE OR Bing it for the specs

The XL's must have more ink because the last longer. I have used regular and XL and the XL really does last longer and I think it is the best deal for the money. FYI- the Magenta cartridge had very low ink when I first installed it. It was nice though because my HP printer could read the ink levels. These must be recycled HP cartridges.

Standard HP950 black does 1000 pages and standard HP951 color(s) do 700 pages. The XL versions HP950XL does 2300 pages and HP951XL does 1500 pages. So, the XL's cost about 50% more but provide at least twice the printing, and hence are a better buy. The Standard or XL combined with this machine's newer technology are MUCH more economical than most of the older printer models, effectively reducing your expendable costs - the ink - by at least 50%. This, alone justifies junking your current Officejet even if it is working fine. Plus the 8620 has ePrint, wireless, and better resolutions and print speeds. What's not to like?

XL is return program cartridge where you use once and only return to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycle. XLA is regular cartridges at but also recyclable through Lexmark.

The XL version has more ink. Unfortunately I received color cartridges did not work. And I attempted to get a return/refund, but the date I found out was too late to get any help.

My understanding is Lexmark is either now out of biz or soon will be. I finally just donated mine to GoodWill along with a boxed new printhead. Worst most time consuming printer to keep operational of my lifetime. Hope your experience gets better

The return Progtam is when you agree to send back the empty cartridges for the factory to refill and send out to buy again. At one time they offered so much for each one one that you returned. Not sure if they still do that. Your cartridge error is the printer does not like the brand that you put in the printer to print with. I used a off bramd one time for it was cheaper and my printer did not like it and if you have a Lexmark that printer is fussy. It has something to do with the lines on the cartridge. I do not buy any thing but Lexmark brand anymore. Love the xl sizes for it lasts so long.

As far as I know, the XL refers to a larger amount of ink in it so it lasts longer.
