Kodak Printers Eastman Kodak Co. Advertized Ink Usage is False rochester, New York

KODAK PRINTERS ARE A RIPOFF. There advertizing of cheap ink is bull#%$@. I have a Kodak Printer and I use it for text printing only and have all of the setting on BLACK INK ONLY. But I keep having to replace the color cartridge. I called Kodak and there only reply was, there are many color of black so it must use the color cartridge to print black, even though there is a black ink cartridge in the printer. In two months of home use and only printing 37 pages of text I have had to replace the color cartridge twice. That is less that 20 pages per cartridge and the color cartridges cost $23.00, almost a dollar a page. Also the printer will not work unless all of the cartridges are full, so you have to replace it.
I cut open the last cartridge to see what ink was missing. The blue and green were empty but the black was still half full. So they have designed there printers to use blue and green to make black rather than to use the black ink that's available. Now this is really a RIPOFF.
SO BEWARE OF KODAK PRINTERS THEY ARE NOT CHEAP ON INK AND THE PRINT IS NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER PRINTER.
I can't afford to keep this Kodak printer so I'm going to junk it and go back to a EPSON. At least with Epson when I call with a problem the person on the other end of the phone speaks English.
