Hopefully they will improve minor glitches January 6, 2009
TMJ
I had an HP 7760 for several years. Paying a fortune everytime I needed ink (atleast $60 for both) and the ink didn't last very long. When the old HP became non compatable with Vista I went looking for another printer. I had a bunch of HP inks, but unfortunatly everytime HP makes a new printer, they make a different cartridge. I was impressed that Kodak was using the same cartridges for all of their printers, and that the printers came with the ink, no one else is including the ink.
I found the ESP 3 easy to use, easy to set up. The program was easy and was much better than HP's program.
As for the earlier review that it only accepts Kodak paper, that's fine, since I have always used Kodak paper. I found that it printed much more vibrant that the HP ever did. The only thing with this printer is, it is LOUD and it has a problem grabbing the paper. I did return it for that reason, but I haven't given up hope. I am sure that Kodak will fix the paper grabbing problem. Once they do, I will have no problem getting another Kodak printer.

I am taking it back tomorrow January 1, 2009

It seems that you either get one that works or you get one that wants to give you hours of grief. after several hours of trying to get this thing to print anything other than a test page I am calling it quits.The red color never worked and ink seemed faded at best. I bought mine at Ballmart and am taking it back tomorrow. Why I went with something other than an HP I'll never know. I took a chance on a low price printer and lost.

Pros- Looks well built, is good looking, simple set up.
Cons- Software glitched the first install, slow to print, never printed anything in color correctly despite hours of nozzle cleaning, alignments and other maintenance fixes.

JUNK! JUNK! JUNK! December 29, 2008

Beware! This is the biggest piece of junk ever. I have nothing but problems with this. EVERY time I try to use the printer I get error messages. I have to reboot, reconfigure, troubleshoot, etc. Seriously, each time I try to use this. I have contacted Kodak several times but the only help I get is the same in the help section on the program. They wont help other than that. Nor are they concerned that the product SUCKS! I am on my 4th set of ink cartridges and I have only printed 2 photos and about 20 pages of black/white documents. The rest of the ink was wasted on test pages and pages that came out unlegible. I thought Kodak was a reputable brand but now I see the truth. No more Kodak for me ever. No more printers, cameras...NO MORE! Going back to Lexmark which has always been good. I wouldnt even give this 1 star but I had to.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Now we know why Kodak stock is in the toilet. Is the board of directors even conscious? Because I have bought my last product.

Worst Printer Experience in Over 20 Years... December 24, 2008
The Rhino (Ohio)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

My first printer was the FIRST color inkjet made by HP, I think it was the 750C or something... Anyway, I have used A LOT of inkjet printers at work & at home in the last 20 years and can sort-out the riff-raff from the keepers pretty quickly.

This printer was definitely near the bottom of my printer experiences...

THE BAD:

1) I could tell right-away by the flimsy paper tray, cheap removable printhead design & generic software interface that this purchase was a mistake. But I gave it a whirl, hoping to save &&& on ink, installed the ink cartridges & turned it on...

2) After 10 cleaning cycles that left my ink levels at half-full we were finally printing Yellow & Cyan, but Magenta and Black were hit and miss and never did flow steady... Part-way through the picture a color would "go missing" only to return momentarily at some point later.

3) You can only put about 10 photo-sheets in the paper tray reliably, and the last sheet alwasy pulls-up crooked... The printed pages drop down onto the new paper stack, so you cannot see how many sheets you have left until the last page feeds-in crooked & jams... The paper holder sticks WAY out from the base & takes up considerable space.

4) Cheap Ink but EXPENSIVE PAPER! The software won't let you manually adjust any paper settings. Unless you use KODAK PAPER, you cannot print photo-quality prints! WHAT! You can give-away the ink, but if it only works with paper that is $1.00 per sheet, we're not biting, Kodak. What were you thinking??? A special eye looks for special marks on Kodak paper and will not turn-on photo quality unless it "sees" Kodak paper. I think other makers have an "easy" setting that reads bar codes on their branded paper, but you can over-ride those settings & still print photos on generic photo paper. All that advertising wasted, Kodak, I will probably never buy another printer from you in my lifetime...

PLUSES:
I bought it from a store that had a no hassle return policy even though I had installed the ink cartridges & wasted half the ink trying to get it to print. They guy in the return department looked like he had seen plenty of these come his way because he knew right-away what to do.

I FOUND AMAZON! Well, I realized I was a fool for not looking here first before making a purchase. If I had, I could have steered clear of this mistake and purchased my next printer at a better price. Amazon rocks for letting us warn other folks about bad products. Most box stores delete negative reviews whereas Amazon realizes you will only buy a better product.
