"Good TCO, good printer"
Pros: Ease of use, ink cost, good support
Cons: Normal First model 'blues'
Summary: Bought printer - developed problem which was diagnosed as print head issue. Called Kodak, which has setup a dedicated toll-free number for supporting this printer. They sent me a new print head and everything has been great since and that was 4 months ago. No longer hesitate to print things. I have printed the normal home items from internet site to cards. I have made copies and scanned in items - very good outcomes for everything. Experimented with printing photos on several different qualities of paper and got excellent results with the better quality paper. Photos come out dry immediately. Agree that the software is average but have never expected stellar photo editing software to be packaged with any printer. If you want really good photo software, spring for Adobe Photoshop Editor, the recognized standard for this area. My Epson printers, the photo printer and their all-in-one, were atrocious. They ate me alive in ink costs. Constantly dried out requiring multiple cleanings which eat ink. My HP's did a great job of printing but again, too high on ink costs. The HP photo printer always produced excellent but very wet prints. I had to spread everything out on the table and allow to dry for hours. Plus - don't let them get near any water in any way. You think that can't happen but imagine looking through your photos and enjoying a cool soda on a warm day. That's right - combine condensation on your drinking glass with photo and guess what happens? I hope this isn't a temporary foray but the beginning of great all-in-ones from Kodak. Overall, I have been most satisfied with this printer (my 12th).
