Title: Convenient way to print phone pictures
Review: I really like this. It seemed a bit flimsy, and a little awkward putting in the paper, but the results were great. Although its not clearly explained, the unit comes with 10 sheets and a cartridge that only prints 10 pictures. So basically for samples. I ordered the 40 sheet refill, and that came with 40 sheets AND a cartridge that prints exactly those 40 sheets. Again, this was not clearly explained. I had no trouble syncing with my phone, although I did need to remove the case first. Overall, its working great!

Title: Doesn't do what YOU (or I) need it to.
Review: Like me, you probably bought this for the convenience of :1: Take a picture on your phone.2: Inside the "gallery" or "photo viewer" of your particular phone, whatever kind of phone you have, use the "PRINT" feature that all phones made in the last decade or so come with.Well, you can't. That's not the way this printer works. The printer isn't a device on your home network. You have to hook this printer directly to your phones wifi, which means kicking your phone OFF your home network.So, if you can't get the printer to connect to your phones wifi, because of whatever baloney reason the printer doesn't want to, you have to connect it via the DOCK or a USB cable. Then it wants a FIRMARE update... cool.Then, while docked and updated, there's no actual "print" button, just an image of a printer. Then it prints... if it can find the paper, which took me 5 minutes of begging it to see the stack of paper I loaded, which it finally did. And then it printed a really nice picture of the family dog covered in sand like I assumed it would do within about 30 seconds of it coming out of the box.Also, the "editing" software within the app is terrible. It seems innocuous, but the cropping function, which is the only real thing you REALLY NEED TO WORK, doesn't. It'll take you five or six attempts at "cropping" to get the actual part of the pic you want printed to be centered.Then you hope that now that you've printed something, maybe the wifi part will work... NOPE. The printer is connected to my phones WIFI, and the APP will not find the printer. Just flat refuses. So then you hook it up via USB cable, which it finds instantly and prints another really good pic of a day at the beach. So there's hope, but it doesn't include the main reason I bought the thing, which is easy-peasy wifi printing... at that, it completely fails. If I can't figure it out in the next 20 minutes or so, it's going back in the box and straight back to Amazon and I'm gonna take the time to actually email Kodak customer service and tell them that this is the second time they've let me down (first was when they canned their picture frame servers with no way to pull any of the photos off the server or off the frame... and now a wifi printer that isnt'. 1 star because it's printed two decent pics, but the interface is bad, the cropping function is terrible, and the wifi doesn't work at all, let alone the way you thought it would when you bought it.

Title: A good print-from-phone printer for home use.
Review: This printer will not give you state of the art results by any means, but it will produce decent 4x6 copies.We are old school in that we still have our hard copy photos printed for us through one of the older online storage and print sites.Even at that, it seems we seldom have photos printed any more.I wanted a printer that would easily print from my Android phone so that I could have copies made instantly to add to a scrapbook, or to give to friends and family immediately after taking pictures during their visits.For me, this printer wasn't exactly easy to set up because I have very few tech skills. But I did get the job done and can now print from my phone.If I can figure it out from the instructions and the app, I think just about anyone can do the same.It's best to download Kodak's app to your phone and go from there.The results are not as sharp and clear as I would like, but they are good enough for most purposes. I found that the photos were coming out darker than the originals on my phone. You can adjust for brightness however, and you can also add words, emoji and other embellishments for fun by using Kodak's Photo App.The printer comes with ink and ten sheets of good photo paper. You can easily order refills online.It may be that others who are more familiar with the workings of a photo printer such as this one will have better results.I find that the printer works fine for my occasional use, though, and I really like having my own little print shop at hand.

Title: Simply Amazing!
Review: My wife had been using her main printer to print numerous pictures, which we all know, uses a lot of ink. Expensive Ink. She needed something better. Research begins. I looked at all the options we had and balanced it against what we needed. After reading many reviews, I decided to purchase this Kodak unit. When it arrived she set it up and was printing in very short order. It is interesting to watch it do its thing as it prints each color individually. I was worried that it may miss a boundary or overlap but it doesn't. The quality is what I would expect of having my prints done at a store. It takes about a minute to print each picture.The cost works out to about $.50 - .55 a print. That depends upon where you source the ink/paper packs. The print kit comes with 40 sheets and one cartridge. That's it. 40 prints per cartridge. For its size, I am good with that. There are multi packs available as well.Though a little on the noisy side, (not so noisy you can't hear your self think or carry on a normal level of conversation) it is well worth the money. And it is completely portable!! Your phone or device hooks right to it!If you decide to take the leap, you will not be sorry you did!

Review: Todo mal con esta compra. El producto llego tardÃsimo y para acabarla no es nuevo. Desde el momento que la saque de su caja me dio mala espina porque un tornillo salió volando (no hay problema se lo pongo dije), pero para mi sorpresa se escucha un sonido de una pieza suelta por dentro.Total la arme, configure las APP (porque no hay organización aquÃ) y procedi a probarla; lo cual no pasó a mayores porque por más que parecÃa iniciar la impresión los rodillos nunca giraron para ingresar el papel y me salia un anuncio que faltaba papel, pues bien le puse más (porque compre el paquete extra de papel y cartuchos) y da el mismo problema, los rodillos no ingresan el papel, quizá la pieza suelta en el interior tiene que ver con eso.El asunto de las apps es un rollo porque hay 3 (quizá más) una ya no funciona y te manda a otra, y una de las que funciona al parecer te pone un decorado retro y la otra app es para cases de smartphones al parecer.En fin igual no imprimà nada.Luego ya viendo a detalle me doy cuenta que la impresora está toda rayada, sucia o con cochambre por asà decirlo como pegamento, obvias señales de que NO ES NUEVA y esto me da más rabia porque aunque hubiera funcionado, no es LEGAL que compres algo nuevo y te manden algo usado, un fiasco, puro perder tiempo en esta compra y espero mi retorno de dinero integro.La recomiendo: NO LO SE, yo tuve mala experiencia en todos los sentidos pero hay una que otra reseña que da esperanza.

Review: Super easy to use. Need wifi and an app that you download via a QR code that comes with it. Good picture quality. Use good photo paper and a good image for best results.Edit: I kind of changed my mind on this... more like a general observation really. We bought this for our kids for Christmas because we have so many pictures of them (5&8yrs) and then they started wanting to approve the pictures, which they always did but just wanted to see them before we put the phone back in our pocket. Then they started taking photos of their own on our hand me down phones and showing a real interest in photography. The printer to them means nothing, sorry Amazon, they just donât have any relationship with tangible photos; my wife and I do; we thought it would be cool because to us at that age it was cool. Now it is not. Donât buy this for your kids, maybe teenagers are different, but for us this is the case. It still is a great printer.
