Kodak Easyshare 5100 Review

The Kodak Easyshare 5100 is by far one of the best printers we have ever owned. This printer does it all. It's a printer, copier and scanner all in one. When shopping around for a new printer we chose this printer mainly because it was the best printer that had all the features we were looking for and was affordable, but when it came to buying the replacement ink, that is what sold us. You can buy both the color and black ink cartridges for one low price. We paid more for the black ink cartridge for our previous printer.

Something that I loved the most about the Kodak Easyshare 5100 printer was the pull out tray feature to make individual 4X6 pictures  . With this easy to use feature you can not only make single 4X6 pictures but it has the capability to crop and make color adjustments to your pictures.

As with most things, there is a downside to this printer. The trade-off for the low ink price is that the printhead becomes clogged and must be replaced every sixty to ninety days. This involves making a toll-free phone call to Kodak customer service number. The representative will ask a few questions to make sure the problem is related to the printhead and will then process an order to send a replacement. There is no charge for the replacement or shipping and the new part arrives by Fed Ex within a couple of days

Aside from a bit of inconvenience in being without use of the printer for a day or so, I have no regrets about purchasing the 5100. Kodak is obviously aware of this issue which will hopefully be resolved in future models.
