dell printer ink

I need to know if anyone can give me the compatible lexmark ink #s for the dell all in one A960 printer I know lexmark help design the dell printers and I sure their inks must be compatible with the dell printers my main reason is for convenience of being able to get the ink locally also the cost is a bit cheaper can anyone help we have to somehow put the kabash to dells monopoly of printer inks for printers that are manufactured by Lexmark. thank you ozzie 37

    I emailed Lexmark about this very thing and they wrote back and said that they did not have any cartridges that were compatible.

    Actually that is part true. But you would need to pry (carefully) the top off the lexmark cartridge and put the Dell top on it. This is a message left by another reader who has done it:

     

    "I have a 940, and all I do is go and buy a Lexmark #83 cartridge for color
    and a # 82 for black. When I get home all I do is switch the lids of the cartridges.
     Lexmarks are identical to Dell except for the lids. Works perfect!! "

     

    So in fact Lexmark doesn't sell ink for Dell printers, but with a little adjustment you can make one work.
