Kodak EASYSHARE 5300 All-In-One InkJet Printer Review

I switched from canon to kodak after the canon ceased to print just after the warrenty expired. Ink costs were the driving factor. I've had many different photo-quality printers, the worst of which was a lexmark. (put back in the box it came in after a month, no one even wants it for free.)

For a inkjet, this kodak is so fast for draft copy, it'll startle you! Cost per page about1/2 to 1/3 of any other brand I've used. I print photo-art on all kinds of materials, canvas, cardstock, textured papers, magnet sheets and all brands, kinds and finishes of photo paper.  The blacks are deeper than most printers on all the medias.

To give you an idea how much use it gets, the first month I used 7 color, and 5 black cartridges preparing for a gallery show.

Also archived thousands of color/black&white photos from my mothers collection after she passed away, put them on disk to share with all the family. Everyone commented on the quality of the images that were scanned.

If I had a complaint, it would be that even though it's used every day, it "clean-cycles" too often, sometimes even after its in use, this does waste ink, and may create a problem of the waste-tank over filling.
