Black ink is leaking out of my Kodak Verite 6 Craft printer where the front paper tray is located.

SOURCE: Black INk Problem

Actually, Kodak replaced the print head, the tray that the cartridges sit in. All is okay.

SOURCE: Ink keeps leaking from the printer!

The problems you are experiencing are due to ink buildup in the ink absorbers that reside in the base of the printer. I'm surprised that you did not get a "ink absorber almost full" message. Unfortunately this occurs when more ink (heavy printing) goes in to this area than the ink absorbers can absorb and the ink starts to build up. An ink waste tube feeds in to the absorbers right in the front middle of the printer. When the ink begins to build up, it comes up through the paper platen there in the front causing the ink problems on the back of your paper.

The machine will need to be serviced. Canon suggest replacing all of the ink absorbers which is the easiest thing to do from a Tech perspective. The last machine I had in with this problem, I tore down machine and just rinsed all of the absorbers. You also have to rinse the underside of the paper platen.

Yes I will tell you why Kodak photo paper is a little thicker in size and you should not get this same error message if you use hp photo paper or regular photo paper.See of this helps.....

Issue The Out of Paper message appears on the computer and the product stops picking up or feeding paper. Solution Step one: Reset the product

1. Without turning the product off, remove the power cord from the back of the product.
2. Wait 30 seconds and then plug the power cord into the back of the product.
3. If the product is not already on, use the On button to turn it on.

1. Replace any paper that is ripped, dusty, curled, wrinkled, or bent.
2. Make sure that all the paper is the same size and type. Because only one type of paper can be used in the product at a time, paper types should never be mixed.
3. Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges.
4. Make sure that the stack of paper to be loaded in the product contains no fewer than 10 and no more than 25 sheets of paper.
   NOTE: Do not load too much paper in the product.
5. Insert the stack of paper into the product and gently push the paper guides snugly against the paper. Make sure that the paper is completely inserted into the product and can be picked up by the paper rollers.
6. Try printing again. If the issue is not resolved, try loading different brands of paper and different types of paper, one type at a time, into the product and then try printing again.If the issue persists, continue with the next step.

1. Open a document in the program being used to print.
2. Click File , click Print , and then click Properties . The product Properties dialog box appears.
3. Click the Paper/Quality tab.
4. Choose the appropriate paper size from the Size is drop-down menu.
5. Choose the appropriate paper type from the Type is drop-down menu.
6. Click OK and then click OK again to print the document..
7. If the issue is not resolved, continue with the next step.

1. Turn off the product and unplug the power cord.
2. Open the access door to gain access to the rollers. Depending on the model, this is usually the rear access door. See the product user guide for information about locating the rollers.
3. Clean the rubber rollers with a lint-free cloth, lightly moistened with water.
4. Make sure that any paper rollers that rest on the input tray, which are located behind the back rollers, are cleaned. A clean cotton swab, lightly moistened with water, might be necessary to reach these rollers.
5. Close the access door and plug in the power cord.
6. Try printing again. If the issue is not resolved, continue to the next step.

• The paper trays are empty or overloaded.
• The paper is curled.
• The print side, or shiny side, of the paper is not loaded in the input tray face down.
• The paper might not be engaged with the feed rollers.
• The paper-width guide is pressed against the paper stack too tightly.
• The paper tray is not completely inserted into the product.
• The paper settings in the print driver do not match the paper loaded in the paper tray.
• The rubber paper-feed rollers are coated with dust.

Then on the right side where the on switch is, near the hinge is a little switch with 2 yellow wires, it's probably broke. Pull the 2 wires out and solder or twist them together, then put everything back together. It will now assume the door is always open. Jobs a good'n :)
