  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.

  Strengths: Cheap cartridges. Multifunction. LCD screen.

  Weaknesses:Photo function not as good as professional prints.

  Overall Evaluation: The regular price of this printer was $149.99, but it came free with an awesome Kodak EasyShare V1253 digital camera I bought. I definitely would not have paid that much for it. I've seen it advertised for around $100. I may not even have paid that for it. But overall, the Kodak printer is okay and it has a copy machine and scanner built-in (which is almost standard nowadays). Ink cartridges are just $9.99 for black and only $14.99 for color. As expensive as some color printers are, this is a bargain! Before installing the included software and drivers, though, I would check with Kodak's website for software and especially firmware updates. That might solve some of the problems mentioned.

  Duration of ownership: 3 Days

  Strengths: Crisp copies, cheap ink, awesome photo printing! 3" LCD display is a plus.

  Weaknesses:Rather bulky in size, compared to similar printers.

  Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent printer for the money. Be aware of signifcant price drops off of the $149 retail price. You should have no problem finding one for under $100 if you shop around on-line or watch store sale circulars.

  Duration of ownership: 10 Months

  Strengths: The print looked pretty good until now. I probably thought there were some strengths, but I am too frustrated to remember any.

  Weaknesses:Warranty contact.

  Overall Evaluation: About every third line is gray. It worked fine until now. It is still under warranty, but I have not found out who to contact. The warranty expires in two months. I hope I can find a phone number or something before then.There is no trouble-shooting guide.

This all-in-one's slightly high price is offset by competitive ink costs. Performance is fair, but photo quality can be very good.
