This review is from: Primera Technology 53332 Bravo SE Color Ink Cartridge (Office Product)
Primera uses a standard Lexmark cartridge and adds a barcode strip to the underneath side of the cartridge. I got caught one weekend with an urgent job and empty ink cartridges and of couarse local suppliers do not stock cartridges for Primera. I got tried of playing their game and bought a disc printer that uses standard off the shelf cartridges. No longer held hostage to their game.

i ordered four cartridges, two of which were defective and unuseable. The defective cartridges had very poor print quality and the colors were not vibrant. two of the cartridges were ok and worked well.

I use these cartridges periodically over the course of the year, often going a few months between uses. I found that they would, naturally, clog and print discs with one or more of the colors “missing.” I found a secret on another site I wanted to pass along here: if, in the printer utility or just by gut instinct, you see/feel that there is actually more ink left in the cartridge, do this:
1) boil a little water in a saucepan – about a 1/2 inch is sufficient (and quick)
2) hold the cartridge, business-end down in the water for about 30-60 seconds.
3) wipe off the water & reinstall
4) print more!
I had cartridges that my computer claimed had 60% left in the thing. This helped me claim every last drop.
Hope this helps someone.
