I'll be surprised if you get more than 30 pages. The answer to the question is: YOU CANNOT! This is the worst printer ever. Please, save yourself the hassle and get a different printer. I have spent so much in replacing ink cartridges (because I was stupidly hoping for a miracle that it would let me print more than 20 pages). Don't be like me.

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!

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.

I couldn't and ended up trash canning the whole printer. Kodak was very unhelpful

I got tired of this piece of garbage and threw it out the window and had the pleasure of seeing it explode into a millon pieces. You should do the same

I have no idea. I've HATED this printer from the get go. Ink should last for a ream of paper but does not.

As many as you want, you just need to put enough papers inside the printer. Also Don't put too many once.

Take out the ink cartridge, and put duct tape or electrical tape over the empty clear ink box .. Then put it back in

I don't know, sorry. I always have a set of inks for when one runs out.BTW When not in use, this printer doesn't drain ink anywhere near as much as all the other printers I've owned.

There is a small tray at the top with an ink pad that you can slide out and add more ink. Very simple.

I had the same problem with this item my guess would be to go to avery.com and find the double label set up and have that downloaded to your computer so it will print only HALF THE PAGE.

There is an issue with the software allowing refills but it can be easily overcome by pressing and holding down the button with the triangle on it for about 17 seconds ( not the power button, the other one ). This allows the printer to use recycled cartridges. Hold it until you hear the cartridge housing start moving.

You can refill the OEM carts quite easily. Amount of pages is relative to your coverage. Don't expect to get much out of them full. That's at 5% coverage (good luck in getting close to that mark, ever). The variances change even when printing the same page. Use the remote software to get an idea of what your coverage is. You'll get around 2500 pages, depending on what you print. You can get about 100 pages from the starter set.

If you are printing a lot , then go this way. But if you set up your printer and dont print a lot then it will gum up and then have troubles. I even had problems with the kodak ink here on my printer when i left it and didnt print a lot. It seem to me that I was going thru so much ink on my end here. Then I realized a helpful tip that might help you out. Here it is keep a empty printer cart handy for if you dont print a lot. That might help you stretch the ink a ways. Then on your full ink cart turn it upside down where the ink stays on the bottom and always sealed. Here I have stretch a ink cart for 4 months this way.

To get more out of your starter cartridge. Replace the page counter microchip, use a reset tool or scrap it a little on the raised side. This will reset\kill the counter chip depending on which one you do, then you will get many more prints from that cartridge. To find out more about this just look online. This should work with non starter cartridges as well.

I would ask a professional ink refilled. All I can say is that using the wrong ink ruined my printer.

I recently encountered the same problem. The printer will not let you continue unless both Cartridges have ink. You most replace the empty cartridge in order for get your printer to work.

Individually only change the one the printer ask to replace. you can store the used one's.Hope it helps!

either remove and replace the ink cartridge the printer thinks is empty, or try just opening and shutting the unit like you are going to replace the ink cartridge. I simply open and shut the machine. there is no way that I know of to stop the printer from thinking its out of ink.

Mine is very economical on ink. Not only that, but the 5 cartridge system is very efficient as well...with a combo cartridge you'd have to replace it any time you ran out of an individual color...run out of blue? replace the whole thing. run out of red? replace the whole thing. run out of yellow? replace the whole thing...with 5 cart. sys. you only replace the one that runs out. PLUS you can get ink cartridges for CHEAP on Ebay or Meritline.
