NUINKO 6 Pack Compatible Kodak 10 Ink Cartridges Black and Color for Kodak ESP 3250 ESP 5250 ESP 7250 ESP 3 ESP 5210 HERO 7.1 HERO 9.1 EasyShare 5300 Inkjet Printers

This is the second non-OEM brand of ink I've purchased for my Kodak Hero 7.1 printer; OEM ink is becoming difficult to locate in my area and is expensive when found.The 6 pack arrived on time, as advertised; each cartridge was bagged individually so a leaking cartridge would not have ruined the entire shipment.The individual cartridges are not boxed; rather they are in clear plastic bags and easily opened with scissors.I have used only one of the black cartridges thus far. The cartridges are obvious refills, with tape over the top and bottom holes. The ones I received were gray in color, whereas the Kodak OEM cartridges are black.However the cartridge did not leak once the tape was removed, and easily fit into the printer cartridge slot. There are no obvious scrapes, bulges, etc. on the cartridges.I ran an immediate alignment sheet - and it came out perfect.The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the black cartridge to be "full".If there are any issues with the remaining cartridges I will update this review, but on the initial cartridge installation I could not ask for more.The seller for the order was "OCProducts" and everything they said about the cartridges has proven to be correct.HTHRegards,Jim

The color was close enough for my printing needs. The black did spill a little ink when opening so be careful. The bottom line is they worked and looked good enough for me and the price was great. UPDATE! I Changed my rating from four stars to two. The reason for this is every time I print more than a few pages the cartridge will stop printing. I then have to do a print head cleaning cycle and then go back and print the pages that were blank all over again. Normally there is just enough shadow on the paper that I can't reuse it again so I don't see much cost savings. I won't be purchasing again.

I have used non-OEM supplies occasionally for years. I was not too sure this time because Kodak is out out the home printer business and if my print head needs replacement, I will just throw out the printer and buy a new printer. I print a lot of 8x10 photos and hoped that these NUINKO ink cartridges would help lower my over-all cost. I installed the new ink and experienced blank lines etc. After several cleaning cycles and test pages, I started to get great results. I have printed about 20 color 8x10s and, so far, I am thrilled. The color is great and I have not had other problems.Now I have printed about 40 color and 15 B&W photos and all are great.

DO NOT BUY!!!If I could put zero stars I would. Tried first 2 of 3 color cartridges and immediately upon putting them in the printer tells me to reorder as they are nearly empty. The black shows full but after running the maintenance cycles and trying a test page it is a washed out gray color instead and 3 of the 5 colors don't even print.Buy cheap get cheap I guess. At least it didn't cost too much. This is my first negative review of a product I bought on Amazon and I hope it will be the last.

After about a month, the black cartridge went dry (?), printing only portions of the words. I took it out, shook it and it sounded/felt like there was plenty of toner left in the container. That didn't work. Same thing happened. So, I put in a fresh black cartridge. After about 3 sheets it was doing the same thing. Will never buy these again. I wish I had read the reviews more closely. Buyer Beware.

Worked great for a few days then ink started leaking and printer doesn't detect cartridge, swapped out cartridges next set worked for few days then stopped also. Something is wrong with these would never buy again. Used them in a Kodak Hero 7.1 printer

Seems fine at first, then after maybe 10 pages (if that many) I have to clean heads and calibrate to get anytthing (mostly black) to work. Then that only works a couple times. Lucky to get 15 pages from each cartridge. Don't see the low price being worth it.

Received my package today. The ink does not work at all. I’m pretty tech savvy, and following instructions or troubleshooting on my own isn’t a chore, but either these printing cartridges don’t work or my printer(Kodak ESP 5250)—-and I know it’s not my printer. I ran four tests, all duds, save for the partial horizontal strip of cyan. Serves me right for going around the brand for a cheaper alternative.
