can you refill the ink cartridge in the Kodak esp 3.2

No, you can't refill nor can you use compatible generic cartridges, tried both, it won't get recognized.You're stuck paying the higher prices. Very smart of Kodak to manufacture the printer in such a way you HAVE to buy new OEM Kodak ink.On the other hand, I won't buy another Kodak printer again.

This doesn't really answer your question but FYI: I bought "compatible" ink from Inkgrabber.com and the cartridges weren't recognized. I swapped the tiny chips from my old Kodak cartridges, which got rid of an incompatibility prompt, but the printer still wouldn't work. I had to buy the Kodak refills to start printing again.

I asked at a local refill store and they told me that they could not refill Kodak esp 3.2 cartridges

Yes you can use just the ink cartridge. I hope that tells you what you needed to know.

If you used the Kodak 10c and 10B cartridges in your 5200 series, these cartridges will work. 5200 is listed in this link but I don't see it with esp - Kodak 10C Color Ink for Cartridge Easyshare 5000 Series, ESP 3,5,7,9, 3200, 5200, 7200, 9200 Series, ESP Office 6100 Look at the cartridges - they are the same shape and size as regular Kodak cartridges. Do your 5200 cartridges look like these?

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

What bothered me about this ink was that you needed a chip resetter. You can't just inject the ink and then start printing, its not that simple. You have to buy a refillable ink cartridge that goes with your model, usually about $74.99-$89.99. But yes it does work with said printer, getting it to work and accept it is a different story. Your best bet is to get the refillable cartridge. Pricey but will save money in the long run.

Greetings Mammaduck,I would be pleased to answer your question. For starters, I own a Kodak HERO 3.1 Printer. HOWEVER, I have the Kodak "30" Ink Combo Pack right in front of me as I type this, and the box label states that the 30B/30C Ink Cartridge fits the Kodak ESP 3.2 Printer as well. This is true for BOTH the Color AND Black Cartridges. I trust this answers your question. I am glad to help! Let me know if I can assist further.B. Tomkie

Not true! I buy non-oem cartridges and refill them too. They print just fine. I have been doing this for 20 years. LC61 and LC51 don't have a chip. Some printers use chips in their cartridges in which case you buy a chip re-setter.

you can refill them, the problem is the "chip" counts pages and Stops the printer from working... so you have to get new chips for each cartridge about $20 for new chips $40 for toner about $60; I tried rebuilt cartidges and the printer does not recognize the aftermarket rebuilt cartridges; basically Minolta Konica is saying buy only EOM! expensive... I would never buy another printer with page-counting-chips in it: HP got sued for their printers non functionality when the chip count said stop: they updated their software

I don't believe you can. These inks are used to replenish the ink reservoir for a continuous ink system, not to refill the ink cartridge.

NO! I haven't found a 3rd party cartridge that works. You have to pull the chip from an OEM cartridge and put it on the 3rd party one to make it work. If I had known, I would not have bought this printer. Otherwise, I love it.

NO you change the cartridges separately -- a long-time user and advocate -- Sometimes "Walmart" carries the original Kodak glossy photo paper in 4 X 6 or 8 1/2 X 11 in the copier or stationary aisles -- Buy it up when you see it. Since the printer is no longer made retailers are no longer carrying the paper and it may soon be out of production. Kodak paper and ink give superior prints together. Sometimes when plain paper black- and-white prints seem "patchy" or "faded" you need to try the "color" print button not the "black" print button. In time the printers do wear and can no longer be repaired because replacement parts are no longer being manufactured for this discontinued gem of a printer. ENJOY -- CRL

Most ink cartridges can be refilled with a hypodermic needle style tool, however, not all cartridges will work after being refilled because there is a new "smart chip" in some cartridges that needs to be re-set. For this reason I stick with HP older model printers with either #21, 22, or 60 series cartridges. Those can be refilled as many as 20 times or more. I stay away from Kodak, Epson, and Brother printers due to their smart chips. Go on Craigslist and find you an older model printer with 21 or #22 cartridges, then you can start refilling and really saving some money.

If you happen to have pippets, then you can refill the cartridge or comes with. You will need a bottle of ink though. Its probably best to buy refill cartridges though.

I see where they sell Kodak ESP 3 ink refill kits online and it looks like liquid ink just like this but in smaller bottles so I don't see why not. This ink does not come with directions but I just found a great instructional video on youtube. Also, you may want to purchase a syringe as the one I bought did not come with one. So I am going to say yes this ink will work with your Kodak ESP 3.

Yes, you should totally be able to refill pretty much any inkjet cartridges with this kit. Here's a quick youtube search using your model printer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVQbGCBreA Basically, for all inkjet printer cartridges, you look up where you need to "drill" a small hole on top. That's where the new ink goes in, and then you just cover it up with something. I just used tape, but the way they did it on this video was pretty smooth. This kit does NOT include the tools for make a small hole or for covering it up. I just used a small drill bit I had (you can probably also use a really small screwdriver or even a metal pick) and then tape up the hole when you are done filling with ink. Inside the cartridge there is a small sponge that soaks up the ink, so it's important to not let these cartridges sit too long empty, otherwise you may not be able to refill them. Use the included syringe to draw up the ink out of the big bottle, then simply stick the syringe needle into the hole and start filling. Most cartridges can hold one full syringe of ink. If you broke open the ink cartridge....well, then, you may have to buy another one and start over with the drilling part. Or, maybe some krazy glue to put the cartridge back together. You do NOT need to break open the cartridges. Every cartridge is made to be refilled easily by the manufacturer - they just don't tell you where that is; you need to look it up. The youtube video should be enlightening. Good luck!
