With the first one I boght ... which I had for years ... there was never a problem with ink leaking. So far, the new one has been leak-free as well.

No. I have had this printer since Dec of 2006 and it still works well..although I am starting to have a few slight issues with it. Ive been amazed at how long it has worked well.

You can use this to try fixing the problem. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&destPage=document&docname=c03081973&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&tmp_docname=c03081973 If this doesn't work this is another way to try to get the printer to work. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fh30434.www3.hp.com%2Ft5%2FOther-Printing-Questions%2F0xc18a0001-Ink-System-Failure-Fixed-in-HP-D7360%2Ftd-p%2F417073&ei=8-bFUoz_MNXSsATvvYCgDQ&usg=AFQjCNHfzok0Yy6WKbr2fsJaPkeQWTSs6A&bvm=bv.58187178,d.cWc There are any other answers shown when you 'Google' HP D7360 ink system failure. Some times this printer will show this failure after it has not been used for a long time or if one or more cartridges run out of ink and printing is continued.

NO! sorry. Serious trouble before the end of the first year. Got rid of it.. Wouldn't print anything RED, started going through ink like water...

My advice is to cut your losses and replace the printer. I could not resolve the issues with this printer as much as I tried including online help from Kodak which by the way recommended that I go and buy more ink. After spending $30 on ink which is about 40% the price of the printer, it is now collecting dust in my garage. I already replaced it with an HP after 4 months of use. Kodak products are substandard including a digital camera I bought. Do not buy their products in the future.

Unfortunately that usually the print head is ruined and needs to be replaced. I would not suggest that you do so and instead just buy an Epson Workforce printer which uses less ink and is far more reliable.

I never used the warranty...but I have had a few bad inks. ie.. some cartridges have bad reset chips so when you put them in it doesn't work or some might smudge so I just try another one. However, out of the 100 or so refilled inks...maybe 5 of them have had these problems...so I never worried about the warranty.

I understand your concern with the leakage issue as I've had that occur in the past with another vendor. However, I did not experience leakage with this ink cartridge. I hope you have a positive experience too with this seller.

yes but i will tell you that they didn't work and messed up my printer luckily i was able to keep it working but the color has never been right since, when i went to my computer store the man there said 90 % of the time they end up destroying your printer. the ink just kept leaking out of them after i refilled them.

I had one of those years ago. It worked great...until it didn't. It developed a thick black line that ran down the BACK of nearly every page printed. I cleaned the bottom plate, the print head and anything else I could reach without disassembling it. (multiple times) I read dozens of Internet blogs trying to find a fix. I finally threw in the towel, bought a new printer and dropped the MP500 off to be recycled.

Tried all of the suggested corrections to no avail then a light went on above my head. References to the ink overflow being full. Try this: Open lid and allow the ink carrier to center itself. Behind the ink carrier you will see a row of white rollers. At the right side end of the rollers you will see a small white unit with a little piece of plastic sticking up. Now, take a piece of paper towel, or maybe a Q-tip, and clean all of the ink off this little piece of plastic. Recommend rubber gloves while doing this. Found ink all over the place in mine. Immediately towards the front, maybe an inch, from of that piece of clear plastic there is a small square that is a foam, sponge like pad. Take some pieces of paper towels and press into this foam. Do this several times until the paper towel is no longer soaking up ink. Once that is completed, close the lid, turnoff the printer, restart the printer and print a test page. This cleared the 6C10 error and I was able to print again with no problem. Might be a good idea to soak up the ink in the pad every time you change inks.

Hello, I do have 3 printers working good with this non oem cartridges. Do not see a problem, why the printer should get damaged. Unless U use the printer frequently, so that the ink does not dry in the ink head. This also will happen with the original ones. The manufacturers make their monnies through the ink cartridges, not the high end printers sold at cost. Have fun Brgds

you didn't do anything wrong. I had the same problem and the company would not do anything about them because it was past so many days! Everywhere else I ordered the cartridges from were good up to a year if there was a problem. Not this company. some of my were not recognized by the printer, so they weren't any good to me. Other ones leaked in the bag. I've been trying to use them up, but I have to clean the heads alot too. These are garbage and amazon should stop selling them.

Luckily I haven't had that problem but its best you contact the company you bought them from. One minor issue I had was when I received my ink, some of them were leaking a little in their individual bags.

I went thru the same thing. Contacted the seller and they sent me new ones and I had the same problem. I'm not happy with the cartridges OR my printer. Wish I could give you more help.

Yes, Ours just outside of the warranty period began leaking yellow ink. It was the ink line between the ink cartridge and print head. I tried to get to it but wasn't able to without major surgery. We threw it out and bought a new one.

I've used 'em for my HP C4820 with some success but you're really limited by your ability to deal with the cartridge itself. Eventually the printer refused to recognize the other party's cartridges I was filling and also refused to recognize that I'd filled a used HP cartridge. /sespite a long, tedious process of "resetting" the printer, "resetting" the cartridge and so forth, I still had to buy a new one. InkTek ink didn't clog the printer's jets and did save me some money on expensive HP replacements. BTW, fill 'em over a surface you can clean; that ink is permanent on fabrics!

It happened to me a month after the warranty ran out. I consulted HP tech. They told me I needed a new printer and that the printer was not repairable. They offered to sell me another at a slight discount. Needless to say, I declined.
