How is the print quality and does the ink last as long as the origional Kodak ink? I have bought other aftermarket ink before , and it does not last

I purchased my ink last December (2012) and I'm still using the first cartridge. The print quality is the exact same as the Kodak product. It really is a deal. The process that is used to restore the remarketed cartidges is real craftsmanship. I don't have a complaint against the product. I have printed over 460 full pages so far.

As far as the print quality on plain paper, I don't see any difference. I don't know about photos, and I don't know about how long they will last relative to the originals. I use mine in a printer located in a second home, from which I print things only occasionally, so I can't really compare the Canon ink cartridges on the latter two points.

I have only printed a few photos with my Kodak Hero 7.1 printer and they did come out ok. The only drawback I have is this printer uses a lot of ink. I am constantly replacing the ink cartridges which cost about $30 for a color and black ink cartridge. It is actually cheaper to have your pictures printed at online places like Snapfish and Shutterfly. They offer great deals all the time.

I am not sure I can answer your question, but I have been using the inkxpro ink for about nine months and the ink has not been a problem. The dye refers to the type of ink. I have been using the ink with their resettable cartridges in an Epson 4530. The printer has been replaced twice, but not because of the ink. The photo quality is fine with this ink.

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

I purchased extra ink when I purchased the printer and it was over 6 months ago, all cartridges have been replaced in the last month and all were good, so at least 6 months.

throw it away and buy an epson, I fought this printer for two years and never won, always something wrong with it then it stopped working altogether, I got an epson wf3500 series printer for my wifes home office and it prints better pix than the kodak ever did, and it works and is still working.

That's just the way Kodak printers operate. I recommend always buying the black and color cartridges together so if one runs out, you'll have a back up and still be able to print.

No, you can't refill nor can you use compatible generic cartridges, tried both, it won't get recognized.You're stuck paying the higher prices. Very smart of Kodak to manufacture the printer in such a way you HAVE to buy new OEM Kodak ink.On the other hand, I won't buy another Kodak printer again.

Good morning, David! I notice that if I continually use the printer, the ink is used normally but if it sits for any length of time (e.g. week, weeks, months) than the ink dries up! The ink may be inexpensive but so much of it is wasted! I also don't like that if the color ink runs out the printer shuts down. I will not purchase another printer like this, inexpensive or not! Good luck!

It is a great printer. I bought this one used after I destroyed the original with cheap ink. Even used, it came with everything you mentioned and it is still working great. It doesn't cost much to run because the ink cartridges seem to last forever.

I have used aftermarket ink in at least 5 different Epson inkjet printers without problem. I have not yet used up the ink in this printer, and have not searched for aftermarket suppliers. If you have a problem with clogging that cannot be remedied yourself, and you need warranty repair, Epson will not honor if they can tell you used aftermarket ink. There are pretty good deals on OEM ink, so unless you find a very reputable aftermarket ink supplier with lots of good reviews, stick with Epson OEM ink

I have purchased this ink twice. I have no problem with it in my HP All-in-one printer. When printing pictures I notice you have to let the ink dry for a minute or two or it will smear. It lasts as long as the expensive one.

I've been using these inks for printing on photo papers for a year. Prints seem to be just as good as the oem inks. You will get better results if you know about color management and profile these inks with your specific papers. The majority of folks will just put them in and print and will be happy. I've had a little bit of fading from the inks on some prints I have hanging in my office unprotected near the window (facing south). Some combinations of papers with this ink will not appear to fade for many years. In an album, they will probably out last you. Can't tell you how many prints you will get because these tanks like the original canon tanks are ridiculously small. It's significantly better than the cost per print from the original canon tanks.

Refurbished cartridges last longer than the OEM versions. I have had mine for about four months and I am on my second cartridge. The first OEM cartridge went out after three weeks and the refurbished I'm still using. I print quite a bit since this is my work printer.

I don't believe so Andrew but I've been printing casually for about two weeks and I have not run out of ink. That being said I did order extra ink when I purchased this printer and although it is aftermarket ink I have not had to use it yet. If I had to estimate how much I've printed it would be about twenty pages so I'm really not a good gauge on how much ink came with the printer. So my advice would be to purchase replacement ink when you buy this printer whether it be Cannon or generic just do it.

The quality is as good as any other printer. I find that the quality of my pictures is as good and sometimes better than the Kodak 5500 all-in-one printer I use at times.
