Kodak ESP-3 Review

After very much research and reading reviews, I bought the Kodak ESP-3 printer because it was a little less expensive than the other printers and the ink was very inexpensive.  I have only heard good things about Kodak products so I figured I would take a shot at this printer.  After only having it 6 months, the printer will work - it will not print at all!  I put brand new ink cartridges in it thinking it was the ink that had gone bad.  However, even after the new ink was put in, the black ink will not work. It seems like the ink compartment on the printer dried out or something. The color ink will print only. I cannot afford to have it taken into a computer shop; it would probably cost more to do thta then what I paid for it. Additionally, I cannot afford a new printer right now, so I have just done without for several months.  I would not suggest this product to anyone because I think it is a waste of money.
