Printer kodak easyshare 5300

From what i understand with the kyocera colour printers theres a menu option to print black as black opposed to a combination of the colours. I'm not too sure where it is, however it sounds like the kodak is very simular and is using the colours to create black instead of using the blank ink cartrage.

Hi there.
It could be the chip in the cartridge... faulty for printing?
Settings in the printing process?
Iceman.

Replace the printhead. call kodak at 1.800.421.6699 for a free new one, with FREE ink, too.

Seems to be a common fault with Kodak EasyShare 5100/5300

Contact Kodak Support and go though the following tests:

Remove and re-seat Printer Cartridge(s) - Done

Clean Printhead - Done

Calibrate Printer - Test Sheet Not Complete!

Run Computer Colour Test - Done

They will then send you a new Print Head.

You need a new printhead. Call Kodak and they will send you one.

They overnighted a new printer head and free ink. We already recieved it. AMAZING. Thank you Kodak. They are awesome.

I called Kodak and they are sending me a new printer head at no charge! Can't get any better then that. Man I talked to was very nice, knowledgeable and polite.

hi, it is possible that the black cart was not installed properly. Try reseating the black cart and see if it works. You can also try to calibrate the printer. you can do this by pressing the menu button then go down to calibrate printer. after that it would also help to perform a deep clean which can also be found on that same menu. then try to print. If all these fails, try to call the kodak hotline 800.421.6699

pictures are not clear even after installing new ink cartridge and cleaning print head
