Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One Review

by Danny Allen, PC World

- Kodak's new EasyShare All-in-One inkjet multifunction printers aren't the cheapest in their class, but when combined with the company's paper-and-ink packs, they tout the prospect of printing borderless 4-by-6-inch photos for as little as 10 cents eac--about half the industry average. I found that claim valid and the photo quality very good, though I noticed some muted colors and slight graininess.

User Reviews for Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One

Duration of ownership: 14 Months

Strengths: Superior photo prints at a very low consumable price when used with Kodak Premium or Ultra Photo Paper. Prints stand up to bright light very well. Premium paper and ink actually cost very close to the represented 15 cents.

Weaknesses: Lack of clarity that Kodak Photo (not picture) paper is needed for represented results. Basic photo paper has poor saturation.

Overall Evaluation: Great printer, excellent prints, low consumable costs.

Duration of ownership: 6 Months

Strengths: None!

Weaknesses: Bad quality and customer service

Overall Evaluation: In my life time, I have owned more than 20 printers - because I owned a business. Easily, this is the worst printer I have ever owned. When I first bought this printer, the scanner broke within 2 months and it took over five hours on the phone with customer service to get a replacement printer, because Kodak customer service representatives are not fluent in English. I have had the replacement "new" printer for less than 3 months and it is broken again...and because it was such a pain to get the replacement last time I won't bother trying. The ink is cheaper, but doesn't last anywhere near as long. So, it is not cost effect! I had been pleased with HP products, but thought I could save some money because the ink cost so little. In the ended, I have ended up spending at least as much on ink and a whole lot more in time and aggravation! Do yourself a favor; buy an HP or any other brand.
