Strengths: Beautiful prints; dries immediately; waterproof; no computer required to print using Kodak camera.
Weaknesses: Takes 90 seconds to print; cost of media.
Summary: I used a loaner unit from Kodak while I was a product demonstrator at a local retail store. Skeptical at first, I fell in love with the Printer Dock (PD for short), and will be buying one for myself after Xmas.

I've printed literally hundreds of pictures that I've taken both at the store and at home. The pictures look like I had them developed and printed, professional quality.

I've also printed pictures taken with another manufacturer's camera using the PD, and the results are also amazing.

We took a Kodak camera and the printer dock to my mother's house for thanksgiving dinner. Set up the PD, took pictures, and was able to hand them to people before they left for the night!

PLUSSES

Prints are professional quality.

The prints dry immediately, are waterproof (don't smear when get wet), and very durable.

You don't need a computer to print (if you're using a Kodak 6000, 7000, or 700 model camera; you do if you have another brand camera, unless it supports PictBridge).

Convenient size. No liquids to spill or get on your fingers.

Press a button and you can print 1, 2, 4, or 9 pictures on a 4x6 print.

MINUSSES

At 90 seconds/print, it takes some time to print a lot of pictures.

You have to use the Kodak print kits, at about 60 cents per print it gets expensive quickly.

Prints only 4x6 prints (but can print multiple pix on a page).

NOTES

Can do special effects if you have the EasyShare software, like my favorite "cartoon mode" which changes a picture to be outlines only.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Excellent printer, high quality prints, but at a cost.

Strengths: Easy to use and set-up.
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: 2004-09-20 16:47:25 A nice product that makes digital photography easy for the computer challenged user. With the Kodak name behind it, I think supplies will be easy to find and this will keep cost down per print. I have already seen the paper at a national shopping club store. This is a major consideration when comparing systems.

Strengths: Good choice for Kodak EasyShare camera owners, as it acts as a charging cradle, PC dock, and photo printer
Weaknesses: No built-in card slots.
Summary: The Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock is obviously of most interest if you have a compatible Kodak camera. But it can serve as a dedicated photo printer with other cameras, printing from your computer, PictBridge camera, or even memory cards (if you add the optional external card reader). Output quality is top-notch, but at 62 cents per print, it's no bargain.

Strengths: Very easy to print. Great print quality.
Weaknesses: Expensive.
Summary: This was my first digital camera and printer dock and I was pleasently surprised with how easy it was to print and with the quality of the pictures. The only downside is that the cost per picture (about 60 cents) far exceeds the cost if you use an outside service for printing.
