I’ve always purchased cheap printers and this is definitely one of the better budget printers I’ve used. The print quality is excellent and surprisingly fast. If you use photo paper, the quality is on par with Wal-greens for having digital photos printed.
It’s also quite easy to use. It took me about 5 minutes to set it up/install all software. The scan/copy controls on top of the printer are really easy to figure out. The SD/HC, MS, MMC card slot is also a great feature. You can just pop in your camera or cell phone’s memory card and print without a computer. This feature works great.
The primary reason why I bought this printer was it has some of the cheapest ink on the market. $10 for black ink and $15 for color ink!
The only con is that the scan quality is not that great. I tried scanning in photos and there are faint white lines in the photo file and it is definitely more grainy than the original photo. I would not recommend this printer if you’re planning to use it primarily for the scanning photo feature. However I will say that I have never had/used a personal scanner with really good photo scanning capabilities (so this is about average).
In summary, I bought this printer at Wal-mart for $99 and I have no complaints for the price although better photo scanning would have made the printer 5-star worthy.

Doesn’t suck up ink! Also, incredibly cheap black and color cartridges. B-E-A-utiful prints – crisp colors on photo paper, and fast printing to boot. Go figure – a great buy from a company that spent years doing camera film and photos.
If you are a small business owner or looking to replace a current family printer, GIVE THIS A SHOT!

My frugal spouse encouraged me to buy this printer believing the ad hype that tells us it will save us on ink costs. Weary of the constant HP “low ink” pop ups I relented and purchased the Kodak all-in-one. This printer has all the undesirable qualities other reviewers have described and more. It is painfully slow, anoyingly loud, the ink has to be replacesd at least as often as any HP I’ve used and what’s worse is it refuses to print after IT thinks the ink is low. I worked for Kodak for 35 years and I know they would never accept such a product from a vendor. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting such junk on the market. This is not your father’s Kodak product.

I purchased this printer from Walmart. I am not writing this review the day after I purchased this printer, the time where you first just think I just have to get used to this new product. They advertise the ink is cheaper than all other cartridges. That is correct, but with two kids in junior high and high school and 1 report each a day later, the cartridge is empty. You might get a total of 10-12 properly printed pages and then it just gets real faint, a lot of lines through the printing. The print time……well you’ll be waiting awhile. Takes forever for the print head to align (close to a minute) and its noisy as all get out. When not in use, you don’t want to leave it on, it keeps trying to align the print heads…….Its a cheap printer, poorly made, and just isn’t worth the value in any way. Save your money.

I’ve had the printer for a month now and find it makes crisp copies and prints photos at least well as the local drug store. My last printer was an old Lexmark so this is like coming out of the dark ages as far as quality is concerned. It doesn’t inhale ink and the cartridges are the cheapest available.
On the down side, are the false “paper jam” alerts. The cartridges and printhead have to be removed and reinserted and the printer turned off for 5-7 minutes. Then it has to recalibrate which eats up another few minutes. It’s done this twice in the past month and I’m a light printer….have only printed maybe a dozen photos and a few articles. There is never anything jammed and the points which are revealed after the printhead is removed are also always clean. Doubt I just got a lemon as the problem and solution are already to be found listed on numerous websites.
I’d still recommend the product for light use mainly because of the quality of the prints and photos and low cost of cartridges.
