Advantages: Very low cost for printing documents and photos

Disadvantages: A bit loud and clunky when printing

Wow - the ink for this printer is really great value, the black ink was only £6.99 and the colour cartridge £9.99. I've been printing lots of documents, web pages and photos and have only just used up the cartridges that came with the printer.

I think Kodak have a real winner here. The printer was a bit more expensive than competitor models but I've already made back the difference through buying one additional set of inks, so over time the saving will be much greater as I probably use 3 - 4 cartridges a year.

Print speed is good, about 30 pages a minute and photos are really easy to print with a nice big LCD screen and memory card slots. It churns out about two 4x6 borderless photos a minute and it has a dedicated photo paper tray which I push in when I want to print photos and it automatically knows the paper size and grade I am using (Very clever).

I saw this in PC World for £99.99 last week so it has come down in price.

Summary: Overall great value when considering the cost of ink of other brands.
