My pictures are sharp and clear. I like the Kodak Easy Share printer. Only thing is I wish I could just buy the ink cartridge and not the paper.
Software support with Kodak has not been good. Until now we have been happy with the output except that when our CX camera died, we have not been able to use the camera dock. After several hours and the downloading of apparently obsolete drivers, I am still unable to use this printer with a new win 7 computers. We cannot load easy share either.
I'm finished trusting KODAK. I was busy and didn't have time to use it. It arrived in its original packing and looked brand new. Now I have 2 expensive pieces of junk setting here and I don't know what to do with them. Very quickly however, the paper would not pick up to feed into the dock.
They are too expensive to throw away, and too expensive to repair. Nothing had been opened, including the ink ribbon and paper. Contacting Kodak is a waste of time. When I first bought this printer dock, I was very happy and was showing it to everyone. I was a fool, and purchased a "used" one on eBay.
When I did.I discovered too late that this one had the SAME PROBLEM AS MY FIRST ONE.
At $38.00 a cartridge, this is expensive.I finally contacted Kodak, they apoligized. The paper would not feed properly. They offered me a coupon for any of their products. I probably got 24 prints from it.The film jammed. They offered me a 20 percent off coupon. I finally returned the unit for a replacement.The replacement dock worked briefly, before it started to eat film, and the paper would not feed.
I figure that I am at $200.00 loss. I purchased my Kodak Easyshare dock in 2006. I returned the damaged film cartridges. They told me they discontinued my unit.
Initially I changed cartridges when told to by the printer and have had some extra paper ever since, now I change cartridges when it just won't print any more and my reserve is not growing. Overall, I have had good luck and enjoy having this printer/dock. The printer does need to be unplugged for reset due to various minor problems but I've gotten pretty much used to that. Looking around for a replacement, I was shocked at the prices, $399.99 just for a printer dock. In the last few months local stores have stopped stocking the paper/cartridge bundles so it was Amazon.com to the rescue and at a cheaper price that the last store price for the 160 count bundle - and every time I went to buy a bundle, it cost more than previously.
After much use the dock stopped printing. Had a problem with lines in the picture with one cartridge but apparently it was just that one defective cartridge. Cartridge/paper bundles have also gotten pretty expensive but I take my SD card to the store for processing for big batches of pictures and use the printer for a few pictures at a time and so for the convenience, no big complaint. This unit prints pictures that have a greater three dimensional quality than what comes from the store/lab but takes a bit of attention to take care of paper feed and various other little problems that crop up. Three years ago I bought a Kodak EasyShare C533 camera with the series 3 printer dock.
Got one from E-bay for about $80.00 and so far it works fine. Kodak does not do a good job labeling the paper/cartridge bundles (there is one for the G series printers - not compatible with series 3).
