KODAK Dock Plus 4PASS Instant Photo Printer (4×6 inches) + 90 Sheets Gift Bundle

Very disappointed with this printer. I bought 3 cartridges and had to use all of them to take prints of just 10pictures.
Firstly, the photo papers get stuck. I’m asked to adjust the papers every time I take a print.
Secondly, the paper gets stuck and crumbled in middle of printing which spoils the whole cartridge. I lost 2 of them.
Lastly, Android app is so hopeless that it crashes every single time. All permissions were given but it just doesn’t open.

Wasted 15000Rs on this product and cartridges. I don’t recommend anyone else to waste money.

La scelta di una stampante Kodak porta con sé un certo livello di aspettative, dato il prestigio storico del marchio. Tuttavia, bisogna essere realistici nel considerare che nel panorama attuale ci sono marche che hanno fatto progressi significativi, mentre Kodak sembra essersi fermata.La stampante si rivela essere una soluzione accettabile per un uso domestico. È in grado di produrre stampe decenti, ma è importante notare che ci sono alcune limitazioni. La qualità delle stampe è soddisfacente, ma non si può ignorare il fatto che altre marche hanno avanzato notevolmente in termini di nitidezza e vivacità dei colori. Quindi, se si cerca il massimo in termini di qualità dell’immagine, potrebbe essere necessario considerare altre opzioni. Uno dei punti deboli di questa stampante è la durata limitata delle cartucce. Questo potrebbe rappresentare un problema per chi stampa spesso, poiché le cartucce potrebbero esaurirsi più velocemente del previsto. Inoltre, è importante notare che il costo delle cartucce aggiuntive può accumularsi nel tempo, incidendo sul budget complessivo. Nonostante questi svantaggi, va detto che la stampante di fa comunque il suo lavoro come soluzione casalinga. Se si tiene conto delle aspettative realistiche, offre risultati soddisfacenti per le esigenze fotografiche occasionali. Tuttavia, se si cerca la massima qualità e durata delle cartucce, potrebbe essere necessario esplorare altre opzioni sul mercato. In conclusione, la stampante è un’opzione decente per chi cerca una stampante casalinga. Tuttavia, bisogna tenere presente che ci sono altre marche che hanno superato Kodak in termini di innovazione e qualità dell’immagine. La durata limitata delle cartucce rappresenta una sfida da considerare, ma nel complesso, la stampante offre risultati accettabili per un utilizzo occasionale.

White long line in the mid of each photo. The lines are like deep scratching, as if there is something wrong with the printing process. Photos are looking very bad sue to this lines. Not expected from Kodak . Really disappointed.

Power button was already broken and there’s not service Center in india.

My biggest dislike for this printer is that the docking connector is ONLY for charging your phone. All of the data is transferred via Bluetooth. I can’t even begin to fathom why they put the cost of the connector into the product without using it for its most obvious functionality. It’s completely asinine.

My next dislike is the software. The Android version wants tons of permissions. I’m a software developer and have written apps for my phone, so I know that this is largely due to the way Google crafts the libraries that developers need to use to include functionality. The pairing process should be a lot smoother than it is. I feel like the software could have been better designed, and Kodak is being highly proprietary, forcing us to use their software to use the printer. I think that is shortsighted; they will be making the bulk of the profit by selling us refill kits, so allowing others to write better software for the hardware and consumables that they’re profiting from is in their best interests.

I bought two of these, one for me and one for my mother. She has an Apple phone, and as difficult as mine was to set up with my Android phone, getting hers set up was very nearly painful. The IOS software has several differences and I was a bit disappointed to see that it’s even worse to use than the Android version, specifically the way you frame the shot for what will be printed.

I like the printer itself. There are several negative reviews regarding print quality. I don’t get it. I’m far from being a professional photographer – out of thousands of shots I’ve taken over the years, only one or two have been what I would consider ‘stunning’ – I just don’t have the eye. As an average Joe I feel like I need all the help I can get, and the photos look quite nice to me. I think the dye sublimation process produces better photos than my ink jet printers, and should hold their colors for much longer.

The printer prints faster than I thought it would. It does take several seconds since it’s doing separate passes, but I actually expected it to take a lot more time.

There have been a number of reviews that mention jams. I haven’t had a jam yet. Before purchasing the printers, I ran across a reviewer who recommended cleaning the roller surfaces when switching to a new cartridge. He also recommended using a pencil or other similar tool to stick into the ends of the ink cartridge rollers to make sure they were wound tight. That seemed like good advice, and may very well be why my own experience has been problem free.

Overall and considering the price of the printer, the cost per print, and the convenience of the printer’s size, I believe this to be a reasonably good purchase. The software could stand a lot of improvement but it’s usable. Nothing mechanical is absolutely maintenance free, so paying attention to the state of the moving parts that you can see and examining the ink cartridge before use seems reasonable to me.
