Poor color on home printed photos

Kodak EasyShare 5000 series

Clean the print head then print a demo sheet.

1. Verify that inkjet paper is loaded in the paper trays.
2. On your desktop, start the KODAK All-in-One Home Center, then select the Help [?] icon.
3. From the Help menu, select Maintenance, then select Print head Cleaning. The On/Off light flashes green during the cleaning procedure.
4. When the On/Off light glows a steady green, press Photo and Copy simultaneously to print a demo sheet.

If the Demo print is bad- IE: no black, blurry print etc., then you may need to replace the print head:

First thing to do is to try updating the firmware of the printer, just make sure that your printer is idle and has no error before proceeding, you can get the update at www.kodak.com/go/dowloads if you still have the same issue after that try deep cleaning the printhead 2x

I had to buy a new printer head for this Kodak 5300 all-in-one printer.

I fumbled around a similar problem today. After printing photos you have to convert the printer to print to paper. If there is a green LED on the printer your are in PHOTO mode. Reach into the 4x6 printer and pull back the slide and the LED will go out. Now you can print on paper.

this is common problem in this printer.many of the customers face this problem.the option to avoid this problem is to get your printer serviced every two months so the ink will not remain collected in the printer.and will work properly.
thanks.

Print out a demo sheet. Press copy and photo at the same time. If the black isn't printing on this demo sheet, (the eyes on the two kids at the top are all white), you need a new printhead. Your's is probably clogged. contact kodak tech support. 18004216699. Option 1

try to do this first, try first to upgrade the firmware of your printer, by clicking help in your kodak AIO Home Center, then under General Links, click on maintenance, then under maintenance, click on firmware upgrade.

after the upgrade is complete, try to remove and then reseat both the ink cartridges. then calibrate your printer. and then clean the printhead deep clean. then print a demo page to see if there is any improvement in your printout.

but if your still experiencing the same problem
you can call to Technical Support of kodak 1-800-421-6699 7am to 12am ET

hope this will help

I have a 5300 and was printing picuterd just fine. A couple of days later I took some pictures and now everything has a redish tint. I have cleaned the heads and changed the color cartridge...Anyone know how to fix this???

i CANT OPEN MY AIO HOME CENTER WITHOUT GETTING AN ERROR THAT SAYS ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM, HAS TO CLOSE. ALSO, MY PICTURES ARE NOT VIBRANT COLORS.

Had a problem like this and contacted Kodak and they sent me a new print head. Solved the problem.
