Until now we have been happy with the output except that when our CX camera died, we have not been able to use the camera dock. We cannot load easy share either. After several hours and the downloading of apparently obsolete drivers, I am still unable to use this printer with a new win 7 computers. Software support with Kodak has not been good.
I was a fool, and purchased a "used" one on eBay. Now I have 2 expensive pieces of junk setting here and I don't know what to do with them. Very quickly however, the paper would not pick up to feed into the dock.
I was busy and didn't have time to use it. They are too expensive to throw away, and too expensive to repair. When I did.I discovered too late that this one had the SAME PROBLEM AS MY FIRST ONE.
When I first bought this printer dock, I was very happy and was showing it to everyone. Nothing had been opened, including the ink ribbon and paper. I'm finished trusting KODAK.
Contacting Kodak is a waste of time. It arrived in its original packing and looked brand new.
I figure that I am at $200.00 loss. They offered me a coupon for any of their products. They told me they discontinued my unit.
I probably got 24 prints from it.The film jammed. I finally returned the unit for a replacement.The replacement dock worked briefly, before it started to eat film, and the paper would not feed. I purchased my Kodak Easyshare dock in 2006.
At $38.00 a cartridge, this is expensive.I finally contacted Kodak, they apoligized. They offered me a 20 percent off coupon. I returned the damaged film cartridges.
The paper would not feed properly.
In the last few months local stores have stopped stocking the paper/cartridge bundles so it was Amazon.com to the rescue and at a cheaper price that the last store price for the 160 count bundle - and every time I went to buy a bundle, it cost more than previously. Got one from E-bay for about $80.00 and so far it works fine. The printer does need to be unplugged for reset due to various minor problems but I've gotten pretty much used to that. Initially I changed cartridges when told to by the printer and have had some extra paper ever since, now I change cartridges when it just won't print any more and my reserve is not growing.
Three years ago I bought a Kodak EasyShare C533 camera with the series 3 printer dock. This unit prints pictures that have a greater three dimensional quality than what comes from the store/lab but takes a bit of attention to take care of paper feed and various other little problems that crop up. Kodak does not do a good job labeling the paper/cartridge bundles (there is one for the G series printers - not compatible with series 3). After much use the dock stopped printing.
Cartridge/paper bundles have also gotten pretty expensive but I take my SD card to the store for processing for big batches of pictures and use the printer for a few pictures at a time and so for the convenience, no big complaint. Overall, I have had good luck and enjoy having this printer/dock. Looking around for a replacement, I was shocked at the prices, $399.99 just for a printer dock. Had a problem with lines in the picture with one cartridge but apparently it was just that one defective cartridge.
This is my second one i bought.Picture come out beautiful.YOu want something easy buy this kodak easyshare.this is a older model but it works great. This product is very easy to use.
