Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've had my share of printers and right now I have three of them on my wifi and in use: Canon MP640 (very nice), HP Photosmart C7280(a pain), and an old R80 Inkjet (been on my desk in service for nearly 12 years - a workhorse). The only one that compares to this new Kodak is the Canon.
The Kodak is a little bulkier, there are too many openings that do not completely close up to protect it from dust and the view screen is much too small (my only real negative) making the selection of pictures harder than it has to be. To the positive side, it only has two cartridges (black and colors) and only one paper feed for all paper types.
The Kodak setup is a piece of cake and went very smoothly. The wifi picked right up without any problems.
There isn't much more to say. The printing quality of both the Canon and Kodak are marvelous. I was very impressed with the Kodak's sharpness in the pictures I selected to print. I'd have to give it a 4.5 (small...Read more

Our old cannon all-in one printer finally died and will no longer feed envelopes. Plus it guzzles ink like its going out of style. Time to buy a new printer. Yuck... Naturally this involves spending 2 hours at office max looking at all the overlapping variations of printers and getting useless help from store personnel:
Employee #1: I hear Lexmark is pretty good, you should buy this one (points at random $300 printer)
Employee #2, 30 minutes later: I really don't recommend Lexmark, Epson is the way to go (gestures in the general direction of the Epson aisle).
So I resort to using my iPhone and trying to read multi-page printer reviews on the 3" screen. At it turns out, both the Lexmark and Epson I am looking at get stinky reviews, so I decide to go with a Brother for $59. If I can't have good, might as well go for cheap.
I'm on my way to the register, cart loaded with ink, printer and paper, when I pass a display for Kodak printers. What...Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I am a longtime user of HP printers. In fact, I still have one that I love because the ink lasts forever in it- and I'm a frequent user. The cost is substantial to replace so I was pleased to find this Kodak printer that claimed the lowest cost in replacement ink.
Pros:
-It prints out crisp, clean images
-It prints out photos with good clarity
-The copier works fast and cleanly
-The feed is smooth and handles most paper weights/types easily
-The printer's ink is among the cheapest for replacement
-The wifi connection was so easy to install with my MacBook Air laptop
-The cable connection to the iMac was easy to install as well
Cons:
-The ink gets used up very quickly. Ink may be cheaper, but you'll be buying it more frequently.
-The "intelligent" paper size sensor works well for some sizes but not others. (See below for my explanation.)
-The wifi turns off after a period of no use and in order to use it again, you...Read more
