Kodak ESP C310 user reviews

Good: It's has wifi

Bad: Everything else

Comment: This has got to be, without a doubt the worst printer I have ever owned. Whilst the wi-fi function is a nice thing to have the fact that the printer eats the printer cartridges at a rate of knots makes this an expensive piece of equipment. I bought this printer to replace my old HP one, thinking it would save some money for me, I have swapped back! The thing runs out of ink to quickly and even if you don't use it regularly enough to use the ink then it just dries up faster than any other printer I've owned. This simply means that use the printer or not, you are replacing the cartridge at least once a month. Terrible product, I expected so much better given the boasts made about it. I'll never buy another Kodak product again.

Good: wifi

Bad: ran out of ink in 3 weeks

Comment: 3 weeks after purchase it ran out of ink..i only use it to print invoices from online banking and shopping..so Text printing thats it...6 weeks im having to replace again..:( absolute rubbish..kodak gave very excuse in the book...i presume its faulty...shame as what it did print was good not fantastic..and the wifi was amazing...but if i have to replace the ink every 3 weeks for minimal use..then its not a cheap option..yes the ink is relatively cheap but £20 every 3 weeks is not..i would be paying around £346+ a year just for ink..be cheaper to go to a printers in the high street!!!

Comment: This is for you if: you want a high-quality (document & photo) printer/scanner/copier with WiFi and low ink replacement costs.

The Kodak ESP C310 is an amazing all in one printer. Wireless connectivity allows you to print without needing to be connected via a wire. The printer produces exceptional quality photos as well as crisp and clear documents. The scanner/copier are well-above average. The user interface is simple and intuitive despite being full of features. And finally, the ink is very affordable. What more could you want?

More details:
Although this is an all-in-one, there is no fax. To me, that's not at all a negative, but if you're looking for a fax this is not for you.

The wireless feature is one of those "how did I ever live without this" features. I can sit at my desk and print a document, or I can be all the way across the house and print something and know it will be there waiting when I go to get it. One printer is enough for the whole family -- everyone can access from their own computer.

When I think of multifunction printers, I tend to think of a device that can do everything pretty well. This, however, does everything incredibly well. I have printed countless numbers of photos that are at least as high-quality as professionally printed photos. 4x6, 8x10, wallets... everything comes out bright, crisp, clear, and the ink dries immediately so no worries about smearing on your fingers. They've even added the ability to print photos in 3D (which is nice, but mostly just fun to play with for me). The included software also allows you to edit and adjust your photos if you are not using some other photo editing software. The tools are basic but do include most of the simple adjustments you might make. There is a card reader, which makes it nice if you want to print directly from a memory card. You can preview the photos on the LCD screen and select just the ones you want to print.

Document quality is exceptional and the print speed is quite fast. Scanning produces clear, high-quality images. There is no document feeder so you do have to lift the lid each time, but the included software makes it easy to quickly scan multiple pages into the same file.

The printer also has some nice features you'd expect on higher-priced models. For example, you can print from a set of "printable forms" directly from the printer, without even turning on a computer. No more going to buy a whole pack of graph paper when you need one sheet -- just print your own! Also, if you start printing a letter-sized document but have forgotten and left 4x6 photo paper in the printer, it will detect this and alert you before wasting your photo paper.

Overall: exceptional printer, amazing quality, low cost ink.

My advice, before you're will buy this printer, I suggest you have to compare prices at -> Prices-comparison.info/Kodak-ESP-C310

Good Luck!

Comment: Overall a good printer for it's price and function.

Good: Print quality

Bad: Ink does not last anywhere near as long as stated. Takes forever to start up. Stops printing half way through print job. Slow slow slow.

Comment: Very poor product indeed. Don't waste your cash on this.
