Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak Easyshare Printer Dock PLUS
Customer Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I was tired of my inkjet photos getting ruined by humidity. Any moisture on one of those will take the ink right off, completely ruining the photo.
Right out of the box, this thing worked perfectly. I didn't even really need to look at the instructions, it's THAT intuitive. I was a little worried when the print first came out and it was completely yellow. I thought I had a defective printer! Then it sucked the print back in and came out red! I began suspecting that this was normal, then it brought it back in for a third time to apply the blue, and the print came out pristine. Went back in a 4th time to add the protective coating. LOVE it. It is equal to that of a photo lab in clarity AND durability. It's VERY water resistant... as much so as a lab print.
I love that I can print from my SD card and from my computer after having done some touch ups or photo editing. But it's SO nice to plop the camera on the dock and print directly from that!
For me the expense is trivial. I love the instant gratification, and that I can print smaller sizes for my scrapbooking, so there's not a lot of waste from a cropped photo. I also think it saves money and heartbreak when you figure in inkjet photos don't last nearly as long, and are so fragile to ANY moisture. Just a fingerprint can completely ruin an inkjet photo, much less a rain drop or worse. The photos produced by this machine are protected. It's worth it to me to print just the photos I want to print in the convenience of my own home in just seconds that are lab quality.
I used to spend so much more on developing before the age of digital cameras. Even though the cartridges might run you approx. .50 a print, that's still considerably less than the waste we used to have. And the prices of the cartridges are coming down dramatically. You just need to shop around.

Despite a few minor flaws, it essentially solves the basic problem of digital photography, namely that we all have hard drives crammed with thousands of images and no actual physical photos. (Remember, the kind you can put on your refrigerator and mail to your mom?) And it solves this problem affordably, at about 29 cents a print once you factor in the cost of paper and cartridges. But most important of all, the quality of the photos it prints is eye-wateringly good.

Among the above-mentioned minor flaws, number one is paper jams, which happen every eighth print or so. The jams are solved easily enough by unplugging and plugging the unit back in, but are still annoying. The second problem is that printing from a PC is not nearly as smooth and easy as printing directly from a Kodak camera. Installing the included software is easy enough, but trying to print from my hard drive was a lesson in frustration. To get around the PC quandary, you can print directly from any PictBridge-enabled digital camera or from SD/MMC cards using the built-in card slot.
Quibbles aside though, the EasyShare printer dock is essential for anyone wishing to to complete the digital circle from virtual pictures to real-world photographs with glorious color and razor-sharp detail. --David Stoesz

- Affordability
