The kodak system uses a countdown system that assumes you use a certain amount of ink re sheet regegardless of how much ink you accutualy use, the counter system starts everyt ime you turn the printer on, so the only way to extend the life of the ink is not to turn the printer off netween use, which the domestic useres do not of course do what i did throw the printer away and get a new one not Kodak sh*t

SOURCE: new ink cartridge but not printing green on esp 5 kodak all inone

you need to use the head cleaning tool in the printer properties, youll need to keep running it untill it runs clear and it uses alot of your ink while it does it.

youll find the cleaning option if you go to your
start/settings/printers and faxes, right click on your printer and go to printer preferences then maintinence

Colour ink cartridge not reconise. replace colour ink cartridge.cod 3603

To resolve the issue:

Make sure you install the correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge for your printer. Currently we offer two types of ink cartridges (10 Series and 30 Series). Installing the wrong type of ink cartridge may result in this error. You will need to install a new, correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge.
NOTE: For more information, see Which ink cartridges to buy for all-in-one printer.
If you are using the correct type of KODAK Ink Cartridge, reinstall the color ink cartridge.
1. Open the printer access door.
  NOTE: If the ink cartridges don't move to the center, see Printhead and ink cartridges don't move to center with access door open.
2. Wait until the printhead is idle and silent, then pinch the latch on the color ink cartridge with your thumb and forefinger and lift it out of the printhead.
3. Install the color ink cartridge back into the printer, making sure to press down on the thumb tab until it clicks into place.
4. Close the printer access door. For printers with LCDs, follow the instructions on the LCD screen.
  For more information on installing ink cartridges, see the Extended User Guide for your printer. Review Maintaining Your Printer - Replacing ink cartridges.
If the error continues, restart your printer:
1. Turn off the printer by pressing the power button.
2. Wait five seconds.
3. Turn on the printer.
If the error continues, and you have extra, new KODAK Ink Cartridges on-hand, try to install a new ink cartridge (or a set of new ink cartridges).
If the error continues, contact us.

When the issue is resolved, we highly recommend that you upgrade the firmware for your printer for optimum performance:

Locate and select the firmware for your printer.
Follow the instructions to install the firmware.

Yes, I believe that both cartridges need to be installed and have ink in order for the printer to work properly.

Keeps saying insert colour cartridge when we have just bought a new cartridge of correct spec. Says incorrect colour cartridge installed.Impossible to get past!!!

Hi,The most common reason for missing or incorrect colors is a print cartridge with one of the following problems:

One or more of the ink colors is empty. The black ink and all three colors of ink in the tri-color cartridge must be available or colors will be incorrect or missing. Under normal usage, the print cartridge will run low on one color of ink shortly before all ink colors are emptied.
The protective tape is not removed from a new cartridge.
Contacts on the cartridge are not making proper contact with the print carriage.
The cartridge is remanufactured or refilled.
The cartridge is defective.
