Kodak EasyShare 5300 All In One Printer review

Comments

• The only issue I see is Kodak's distribution model -- if you were running an office supply store and made a fortune selling ink, would you sell the kodak line? I have seriouos doubts that the line will attract adequate sales channel representation - buy it at your own risk -- it may not be around in a few years. Posted by Robert C Shepard, USA
• I have used Kodak 5300 printer for about 8 months. The print quality became mediore after one month use. Now, the black no longer prints. I called Kodak for help, they put me on hold. After 1 hour, I gave up. According to Kodak website help, I needed to buy a new printer head. I am going to discard the Kodak printer. I am disappointed.

• I have had this printer for about 1 year, it has already had one print head replacement and is looking as though it needs another one. I am very disappointed in this printer and will bin it when I get a different make ink jet very soon. Posted by Shirley Nicol, UK
• A good idea but not executed very well in practice. After minimal use, the black does not print. I've tried all the diagnostics with no joy but refuse to waste my time trying to contact Kodak by 'phone. Like other manufacturers they don't really want to speak to their customers, presumably to save on staff costs.I'll be getting another make of printer e.g. Epson soon. They know we aren't going to waste more time to get satisfaction from them and clearly aren't bothered about losing our future custom. We need more easily enforceable consumer rights.

• Worst printer I have ever had, already been replaced once, now the black is banding. The ink only last a few months and I hardly even use it. No it looks like a new print head which are a consumable, glad I did not get rid of my trusty HP, the ink cost a fortune but it has worked for 10 years without a problem. Never buy Kodak again, their Indian customer support is the worst I have ever used. Posted by Tony M, UK
• Hi I am a computer gran, I wanted a printer that would give me good photo's plus a fax and copier,I chose easyshare 5300. This was a big mistake as it has never worked properly ,when it has produce a photo it is very good quality but they are few and far between.It continually says I have run out of paper and I never get the size I ask for! I cannot do anything via the computer and only use my camera.I thought all along it was lack of knowledge on my part but I realise now I have read the reviews that it is the KODAK machine,mine will be ejected from the house and probably replaced by Epsom or HP Posted by maureen, uk
• hi i have had my easyshare 5300 for about 18 months and must say it has been good for me but all of sudden when i went to print some photos of the grandchildren i got a box come from the printer emblem on bottom bar on computer screen saying computer does not recognise printer. had a computer buff friend come and have a look for me and he conected his laptop to the printer and there was no responce at all. he thinks it is the print head. i would have thought that these all in ones would have lasted a bit longer than 18 months. needless to say i will never be using kodak equipment again.
