User Reviews for Kodak Easyshare Photo Printer 500

  • Reviewed by: scrapbooker2000

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: I love the quality and ease of operation. A bonus for scrapbookers is the option to print multiple prints on one page. I use the 4/1 and it works out great.

    Weaknesses: I've had mine for about 2-3 yrs. It is now hanging up and has become inconsistent. I have to turn it off and restart it. Low on ink light has come on prematurely since purchasing it. I've ignored it

    Overall Evaluation: I love this printer as it suits my needs perfectly. I'm not sure whether to buy a new one because of the problems I'm having with it or put up with it. It would depend on the price of a new unit. (The price has not come down.)I did discover, by accident, that if you hold down the right or left arrow, you can scan forward or backwards quickly, to the pictures you want to print.(I did not see this in my manual.) Paper is expensive, but because I print mostly 4 to a sheet, it turns out to be economical. I tried printing two to a sheet, but I felt it wasted too much paper. (4/1 is actually better!) If I want a lot of 4X6's, I take it to the local store.

    Strengths: User friendly, Execllent picture Quality

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: Got it for very reasonable price. Great picture quality, very easy to use. It does not consume huge inks. Only problem is that the starter ink is too little, it runs out very quickly.I recommend this printer.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy setup, quick download, 1 minute prints

    Weaknesses: Ran out of ink in about 10-15 prints ( maybe due to starter kit only)

    Overall Evaluation: I would recommend this unit if its at a great price. The pictures are of great quality ( given you buy gloss type paper) Ink does dry a bit long. I would suggest you only print the ones that you love because it does use a lot of ink. I think a full cartridge replacement is a must right from the start. Overall, I only would complain about the ink. Great Unit if you do get a decent price.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Prints digital pictures without a pc, size, lcd screen, basic editing features.

    Weaknesses: expensive ink/paper

    Overall Evaluation: This is a nice compact photo printer that has a color lcd screen to view the pictures. It also has a card reader that just about reads every type of memory card. Nice to take on trips because you don't need a computer. The quality of the printouts are better than anything i have seen in an inkjet printer. Looks just like I picked them up from Walgreen's photo shop!My only gripe is the price of the ink/paper replacements. This is solution is more expensive than getting them printed at retail. If you like fixing/cropping up your photos before printing or are in a place that you don't have time to wait for retail, this is the next best thing!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Was fairly easy to understand and use.

    Weaknesses: I found it a little confusing to select size of pictures you want.

    Overall Evaluation: I like that the paper and ink are all in one package. That way you will not have more paper left than ink or vice versa. I wish more editing options were available. Did not use the blue tooth.
