Are Kodak Printers any good?

I was wondering if the Kodak printers, which boast the £19 complete ink replacement, are any good?

It would be for home use, to print some photos and documents. Prefer wifi and or Flashcard features

    A world better than when they first came out. For a start, they can now put the printers in boxes without breaking bits off.
    Squirrel!

    Would anyone want to recommend a non bank breaking printer, that doesn't cost the earth to refill.

    Brother, I use 3 of them, all work fine with compatible cartridges that cost under £2 each delivered.

    I have the Kodak ESP5 and have no problems with it. It prints very well and as you say the print cartridges are cheap. Much better than the Epson that I had before and cheaper :D
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
  • I bought the Kodak ESP3250 a couple of months ago. I have had lots of problems with 2 hp printers and it was just a bit more expensive to buy a new kodak printer than to fill the hp back up with ink. The kodak is great and I am so glad I bought it. The only downside is that you do have to use the kodak photo paper. I bought some cheap WHSmith paper and the quality of the print was worse than awful. The paper is more expensive but you can stock up online when there are some bargains. With this paper you cannot fault the photo printing. This one isn't wifi though.
    I'm sure I went upstairs for some reason.

    £20 isn't cheap for 2 cartridges, especially as the colour one is multi colour and when one colour runs out, you have to bin it.

    I have a Canon Pixma and it's never given me a problem. Mine is the MP490 and it takes memory cards, not sure on the wifi but I'm sure one model would.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • I use a Kodak ESP 7 for home use(the missus). Its an excellent printer and the ink is still very cheap but in 2 wells now - colour and black. Camera and memory cards can go straight into it to so no need to use the PC should you not wish too.
