Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3 Reviews
Unfortunately, the misfeeds and jams started after printing a small number of pictures (20 at most) and have gotten worse and worse until it's totally useless. Do NOT buy this piece of junk. As other reviewers have stated, when it works the pictures are of very nice quality.
I thought I could make some saving by buying a package deal of 3 packs of paper and printing cartridge for the price of 2. Firstly, the computer refused to recognise the printing dock. Worse still, the printer would not stop printing the one photograph I wanted. I used the first pack without any problems. I found out that I had to do several power-offs of the printer and connecting and reconnecting the usb line before the operating green light came on. Then came the two next disappointments.
The printer gave me good quality prints.I liked it more than my HP Photosmart printer. Only after several removals of the cartridge and reinsertions did the amber light stay off. Perhaps the shelf life of the cartridges is short. Perhaps I did not store the cartridges in the best environment. So I ended up with about 8 prints all with bubbles or streaks caused by the laminate.
The cartridges which I bought some time ago left bubbles on the photos because the laminate which is laid onto the print at the final step of printing seemed to have deteriorated in the cartridge. Secondly, it refused to recognise the new cartridge I put in. Six months passed and I changed my cpu and got Vista in place of XP. It seemed that the printer needed to be connected after the software was activated.
The firmware update did not seem to have any effect. After downloading the updated software, the printer became erratic. I got mine a little over a year ago. But the software and firmware problems seem just too much.
The amber light came on and stayed on. The original software did not work. It kept going on and on. Perhaps it was the fault of my computer but this problem did not exist with XP.
Printer paper won't feed properly - gets jammed every other picture and ends up wasting the color carteridge. Only significant use I've found for this is as an ugly paperweight. All-in-all this is a piece of junk and I would not recommend it to anyone. One of the worst products that I have ever owned.
Often takes several iterations of plugging/unplugging the camera/dock. Synching a camera with the computer is hit or miss. Prints about 1 picture out of 10 successfully and even then the quality is not that great. Printer software is bloated and slows down the computer at boot. Poorly quality, unreliable.
when the product didnt work with the home computer after the sale they did not even respond to an email trying to figure out what to do. the product was shipped quickly.
It works well with the Z group of Kodak cameras. I would have given it a higher rating, but sometimes I have to manually push the paper forward instead of it doing this automatically as it did when new several months ago. The cost per picture is a little high, but it is all about speed and is useful for a picture or so that you want to give someone immediately without waiting to have them developed. This is a great item to have if you want certain photos immediately.
