Costumer Reviews

I've had my share of printers and right now I have three of them on my wifi and in use: Canon MP640 (very nice), HP Photosmart C7280(a pain), and an old R80 Inkjet (been on my desk in service for nearly 12 years - a workhorse). The only one that compares to this new Kodak is the Canon.

The Kodak is a little bulkier, there are too many openings that do not completely close up to protect it from dust and the view screen is much too small (my only real negative) making the selection of pictures harder than it has to be. To the positive side, it only has two cartridges (black and colors) and only one paper feed for all paper types.

The Kodak setup is a piece of cake and went very smoothly. The wifi picked right up without any problems.

There isn't much more to say. The printing quality of both the Canon and Kodak are marvelous. I was very impressed with the Kodak's sharpness in the pictures I selected to print. I'd have to give it a 4.5 (small screen is just stupid). But I'm rounding up due to the ink system and paper feed.

UPDATE09/02/2011:

It is imperative that you use the software from Kodak to install the printer. Initially, I did not and let Windows 7 find a Kodak driver for it. It worked for a while and then Windows 7 could not find the printer. I tried deleting the other printers and nothing worked. So I then installed the drivers from the CD that came with the printer. Not only did the printer install, it automatically updated the firmware of the printer from Kodak. Once everything was completed (all automatically), the printer was the default printer and everything was good with the world.

Just got this printer as a replacement for my ESP 6150.

First off, I think the print quality is fantastic, and the low cost of color and black ink along with the availability of a color XL cartridge is great for photos and color printing.

The wireless was easily the easiest WIFI setup I've experienced. I did my WIFI setup using my Sprint 4G Wireless Hotspot - no problem!

My favorite feature is the back loading paper tray. I've experienced problems with jams both from the Kodak ESP 6150 as well as HP and Brother printers because of the front loading paper tray which curls paper in a "C pattern". If you have a big print job or your paper is sticky, the chances of jams seem higher and I've experienced that. With this printer, the back loading paper tray doesn't bend the paper, it just puts it through in a straight path from back to front, like a fax machine. That makes big print jobs hum for me, and I like the design a lot better.

Also like that it's not a huge machine.

Overall, I primarily use my printer to print lots of black and photos...this printer does it very well and at a great cost.

Even though my 6150 has a few more bells and whistles...I'm giving it up because this is really reliable - and the end of the day, that's what I'm looking for.

Only small complaint is that it's not as fast as some of the more pricey options from Epson and HP, but speed of printing is fine for me, and I honestly like the ink savings more than a few more pages per minute of output. I think the speed is fine for most users.
