Color cartridge does not work - color faded. Just replaced AGAIN today - same problem

have you tried cleaning and alignment of the print heads?

I have had exactly the same problem. I can't carry enough ink to it. Plus even more perplexing is the fact that it won't print b & w when the colour runs out and visa versa. I havent printed any colour stuff at all since replacing the colour cartridge last month and yet again it has run out. Advice / help siteuseless. If they spent as much effort with helping customers as they do with their useless junkmail then the servic would be better. Best advice steer clear of kodak printers !!!

Here's two possible solutions...you can replace the cartridge as some times they can be prone to electric/electronic problem which renders them useless. You may be able to return the defect cartridge.

Option two is to reset the printer by following these steps:
1)Make sure your cartridges are installed.
2)Unplug the power to the printer and wait about 20 seconds
3)Press and hold the # and 3 keys (while unplugged)
4)Plug the power back in (you should see a reset message on the machine)
5)Release the # and 3 keys and follow the prompts

Changing a printer cartridge is not complex but improper handling of the parts may damage the printer and the cartridge. If the user notices that while printing the ink comes out dry or faded, it may be time to change the ink or the toner. The user will know if it is time to change the toner because instead of a sharp image, one will get a faded image. It is time to change the ink cartridge when the printing comes out spotty or colors are used to replace others —for instance, blue for black or yellow for red. Remember, faded images signal the need to change the toner; spotty printing signals the need to change the ink cartridge get more help for change cartridge .
Hope this helps you.

I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

I contacted Konica M again. We ran some printing tests. It seems to be bad ink cartridges, in particular the Cyan.

Are you using compatible cartridges? If so have you used them before?

Make sure that you run a cleaning cycle in the printer and then print out a test sheet to see if there any issues. You may have to run the cleaning proces 2 or 3 times to get it working properly.

Have you tried replacing the color cartridge?

Hello sir; I believed that's installation problem, pull out each one and slide in again (push harder) see what happen.
