I AM LOOKING FOR THE INK CARTRIDGE NUMBER IN BLACK AND COLOR FOR KOD-ESP 3.

If the ink cartridges and printhead are already in the printer, remove them, then reinstall them.

1. Remove the color and black ink cartridges.
2. Remove the existing printhead by lifting the latch in the center of the carriage. ESP 3, 5, 7, 9, 3250, 5250, 5210,
   ESP Office 6150, 7250, 9250;
   HERO 7.1, 9.1, OFFICE HERO 6.1 ESP 1.2, 3.2, 3.2s, C110, C310, C315,
   ESP Office 2150, 2170;
   HERO 3.1, 5.1
3. Close the printer access door.

I'm having this same problem with both black and a color cartridge. I see the small scratches, so looks like they are connecting all right. The new cartridges are Kodak brand, so that's not the problem.
I'll try calling them about the print head if that might be the problem.

You got it right - the Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One uses 10 series Kodak cartridges, and
since your box says 10B+10C, it has (2) 10-series cartridges in it - one 10-series Black (10B), and
one 10-series Color cartridge (the 10C).

The 10 Series Ink cartridges are compatible with:
EasyShare 5000 series (your All-in-One belongs here)
ESP 3/5/7/9
ESP 3200/5200/7200/9200 Series
ESP Office 4100/6100

It sounds like you need a new printhead. The Kodak ESP 3 works in two stages, you have a printhead which is what transfers the ink to the paper then you have the ink cartridges. Change the printhead. You can try to clean it also, by removing all the inks. Taking the printhead out and soak it it warm water to dissolve the clog. Sometimes it will work.

The Kodak printers are designed in such a way so as to work with combination of Both color and black ink..In other printers,the prints are not that sharp,but In kodak printers color are awesome because even if we print black and white,the color from the color ink is also taken to give you those lifetime prints.Unfortunately There is no way to overcome this ink indicator.You cans et the preferences in the printer settings to print in black and white in your computer .

For that problem kindly try doing the ff:

• Re-seat the inks both color and black then try printing
• Re-seat the Printhead of the printer then print again
• if problem still persist call 1800 421 6699 and the technical rep will replace the printhead

Hope this will help

try cleaning printer connections where cartridges mate with alcohol and qtips?let thoroughly dry!! good luck!!!

WE HAVE AKODAK ESP-3 ALL IN ONE.
RAN OUT OF BLACK INK. HAVE REPLACED BLACK CARTRIDGE 2 TIMES BUT CANNOT GET BLACK TO PRINT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT???

Take out both the colour and black ink cartridge and look on there sides as there would be a number written on the side.......this is to determine if the ink cartridges are genuine or not.........here are few numbers for the ink cartridges if they match and still have issue then its a print head issue else bad ink cartridges probably refilled........

• 1K3156
• 1K3157
• 1K3178
• 1K3177
• 1K3189
• 1K3190
• 1K3627
• 1K3622
• 1K3629
• 1K3638
• 1K3620
• 1K3621

let me know how many have ink cartridges that do not match these numbers.........let me know if this was helpful.........
