These cartridges are mandatory for Kodak printers (and ESP 5in my case) due to the fact that they incorporate a "smart chip" that is supposed to indicate the amount of ink remaining in the cartridge. The problem is that when either the black or color cartridge runs out of ink the printer can NOT be used to print anything until the "empty" cartridge has been replaced. As an example, if you have a full black cartridge and the printer indicates that the color cartridge is empty, you can not print anything using only black and white until the "empty" cartridge has been replaced. This is not only expensive, but is also detrimental to the 'green' movement since the expended cartridges end up in a land fill when they could be made to be refilled and reused. The ONLY reason I recommend this is because there is no other option.

very easy to change. then I get very sharp and crisp pictures when I print them out. Also, the price is very reasonable for these cartridges. I would totally recommend a Kodak printer for this reason.

I recently bought a kodak printer and this is the ink that goes with it. I have had no problems with it, and it lets me print a lot of pages before it runs out. The color pages look great, and its cheap.
