Try gently pressing down on the top of the cartridge at the front edge. It should just click in. Ensure you are putting the cartridge in the right slot as well (I have made this eror). Dennis

New way to fill; take out 2 screws from metal plate, slip one end of metal plate up carefully, see the reservoir, start slowly pouring in dry ink.shake to settle, pour more, repeat etc, got 90% in, set plate, insert screws, put in new chip, might have to restart computer It worked for mejust don't get in a hurry

My issue wasn't with the printhead - although I found out that my problem with installing the ink cartridges was resolved when I reinstalled the print head. Apparently I had not pressed hard enough on it so it was not level and precluded the cartridges from installing properly.That said, I have no idea about your issue and would suggest you start a new discussion so that your specific problem gets attention. I think it will be lost in my ink cartridge question and you're more likely to get some advice from a separate discussion. GOOD LUCK! Nan

No I have not found a way to do that. I just had the same problem and luckily had a new cartridge handy. I get the best service and prices from inkjetsuperstore.com. Also fast delivery. I always order 2 of what I need. So when I put in the second one, I order more so I won't be in a bind. Older printers would let you take out the cartridge and shake it and put it back in but not this one. This printer is not the easiest to operate. It has a mind of its own.

I found that I sometimes had to punch out the film covering the part of the cartridge where the ink leaves it. That helped me out. They are sometimes a little hard to "click" in. You may want to play with that part of the cartridge (pull it away from the cartridge or pushing it in firmly.) Hope that this helps!

I was confused about what plastic to rip off or if I was just to shove them in. I had to push the cartridge in pretty firmly. Don't rip off the clear plastic first. I have already used mine so I can't look at one to remember what it looked like before I put them in the printer. But I remember wondering if I was to rip off the small round piece of plastic on the side that goes into the printer. My advice is to put it in the slot and give it a firm push. The little black lever on the top should pop up when the cartridge is seated. This is assuming you have the same printer and cartridges I do. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Hope they work for you.

it isn't difficult to inject the ink, just use a drill with proper sized bit to remove the white plastic "bubble", fill the syringe once completely full, and slowly add the ink to the cartridge, then refill the syringe again about 1/2 way, and again slowly fill the cartridge. Once the ink starts to bubble over the hole you are filling, stop, wipe up the excess, and put the sticker over the hole. Flip over the ink cartridge, only if you let the cartridge sit for a while, and add a little to the sponge at the bottom, this will clear any dried ink that may be there. After that, do a couple of print head cleanings, and it should work fine. it isn't difficult to inject the ink, just use a drill with proper sized bit to remove the white plastic "bubble", fill the syringe once completely full, and slowly add the ink to the cartridge, then refill the syringe again about 1/2 way, and again slowly fill the cartridge.

I watched a video(s) on youtube. I also think that the InkXPro website has the same or similar videos. You will have "break" part of the printer cover to install. After using this kind of ink, it is hard to switch back to regular ink.

Sorry, I can't be much help. I can't remember if that's the same problem I had. I know the ink cartridges were stuck on the left side. I researched and found out others had the same problem. I don't think I had the printer more than a year and a half. I contacted Kodak support and they had no solution that wasn't going to cost me a bunch of money, so I junked it, after trying to take it a part and fix it. This was obviously a technical malfunction not due to normal wear and tear.Kodak should have owned up and fixed it for free. I'll never buy another Kodak again!

You really don't need instructions. Look for the little indent on the cartridge and poke a hole, place the ink filler in the hole and gently push until it bubbles up (which means it's full) then place a little piece of scotch tape over the hole!

Check for videos in YouTube on how ti refill your particular ink cartridge. That should give you some idea whether or not it will work.

Insert each cartridge slanted towards the front and press there before rocking it down pressing in the back. I used to have the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter what order you put them in, ex. you can replace any of them without removing any.

Yes, it's really easy. The ink compartment is on the front, right hand side of the printer. You can just pop open the compartment and insert the ink cartridge into the appropriate slot (they have color-coded tabs). You can hear the cartidge click into place when it's locked. When you want to change out an empty ink cartridge for a new one, simply press the appropriate color-coded tab and the cartridge will be unlocked, and you can pull it out and insert a new one. You can buy the ink cartridges separately; I think my printer came with some ink cartridges when i bought it.

PS Make sure your printer is plugged in and turned on before you attempt to replace a cartridge. You be surprised that how some people would not know this.

Are you asking how to distinguish the tint/color in the cartridge? If so, use the color dot pattern over the ink refil holes as a guide.

sounds like there is a problem with your chip. try combinations of installing while machine is on and off. if it doesn't work, contact the dealer of the cartridges, they were helpful to me.

Remove the CIS Ink System and then snap it back in. Also on the top right of the Ink cartridge is a small white button. Press the button for about 10 seconds, close the lid and check. You may also try youtube, they have a lot of answers for the CIS Ink System.
