Digital Camera Printers

After having read so many negative reviews about various kinds of “print-at-home” papers, I hesitated to invest in a system to print my photos myself. In large part, I worried that the paper made for these docks would not be of a quality that I could pass around at family gatherings and show off in frames. Thankfully, the Kodak EasyShare paper has relieved my fears. My photos come out crisp and clear and ready to be handled. There is no smudging when they are touched and the small accidental spill rolls right off them. Part of this quality, of course, is due to the ink and printing process used. But somehow I doubt that paper from another manufacturer would leave me singing its praises if I substitued it for the Kodak product.

Though other reviewers have said that the media cartridge runs out of ink before all of the paper is used, I have not had that experience. With each of my kits, I received a warning that the cartridge level was low by the time I got down to the last few sheets. I printed the next few pictures–using all of the paper–and was then told to replace the cartrige. The number of sheets and amount of ink are perfectly matched, as Kodak promises. I can’t honestly think of any reason why people would run out of ink before paper unless they purchased defective kits. (Not that I have really given it much thought, either.)

Many people have also commented on the high price per print. For me, the convenience of printing at home at my leisure makes up for that because I print quite a few pictures. However, the thirty cents per print more than people pay going to the store with their digital media may well be a bit pricey for the average Joe or Jane. I do think the price should–and will–come down in time as the market adjusts.

For my time and money, however, I can’t think of a better way to print pictures than sitting at home with a sheaf of Kodak paper in my EasyShare Printer Dock Plus.
