Kodak 1974625 Photo Value Pack

Kodak 1974625 Photo Value Pack with 120 SH 4X6 Premium Paper and 10 Color Cartridge
  • Works with KODAK EASYSHARE 5000 Series/ESP 3,5,7,9 / 3200/5200/7200/9200 Series, ESP Office 6100 Series, HERO 7.1, HERO 9.1, HERO OFFICE 6.1 AiO Printers
  • Perfect for albums and sharing
  • Paper and ink in one package

I bought this product because I wanted to print pictures for people of our first child. This product is perfect because I did not want to use the ink that I had bought for printing on regular sheets of paper because that ink is expensive. You get a great deal with this package because not only are you getting 120 sheets of photo paper but enough ink for the 120 sheets. Now I did not print 120 sheets of pictures to see if the ink lasts for 120 sheets but I have used these in the past and it lasts for over 100 photos if you only print photos. The description kind of makes you think this ink cartridge is like the standard cartridge that costs more than this combo pack but on the package it is a custom ink cartridge that is claimed to be enough for 120 4x6 color photos. Either way this product is great and a great option for those who want to print a lot of pictures for cheap. Results look amazing as well.

Note added October 15, 2008: Amazon still won''t let me change my rating, which now would be 1 star (the lowest) based on horrendous quality control. I bought two of these and both had hardware failures within a year or two, of course outside of warranty. The one I bought for my daughter had its network card fail. She can still use it via USB, but not over the network. The one I bought for myself recently failed to scan, fax or copy when using the document feeder, which uses a separate sensing window from flatbed copying and scanning. As a flatbed copier or scanner, it still works. But when using the document feeder, the copies or scans come out blank. And, yes, I''ve put the paper in the right side up. I suspect that there''s a separate sensor or light for that window and it''s broken. On top of the horrible QC this seems to imply, my email to HP took them eight days to answer and then all they said was "this case is a hardware issue so our recommendation for you is to call 800-HP-INVENT (800-474-6836) so you can talk with a Hardware technical agent that can guide you through some trouble shooting steps to determine the cause of this problem and also give you the best solution." OK, I call and after over a significant wait time, I learn that they can help trouble shoot by phone for a fee, offer me a trade-in on a new model, or repair this one. No way am I going to waste more money on this disaster. While maybe I''ve just had a bad run of luck, this does not appear to be the HP I used to know, where quality was top notch.

Note added March 19 2007: Amazon won''t let me change my rating from 4 to 3 stars, but I would do so if I could due to networking problems that resurfaced. I suspect that this is an issue with networked printers in general, not HP, but the time it took to solve the problem makes me wonder whether I would have bought this printer if I knew then what I know now. When the network access works, it''s great, but if your network undergoes a change (I had to replace a Linksys router that went bad), be prepared to do some work. It took me several hours to get things working again. Before I had this problem, I bought one of these as a gift for my adult daughter, living in another state. She had to get the "geek squad" in to solve her similar problems, at a cost of roughly $200. The problem seems to be changes in the IP addresses in the network, and the manual didn''t make it easy to figure out how to even find out the IP address that the printer currently is using. (Hint: Print a Configuration Report from the printer''s front panel, using the menu. The manual does tell you how to do that, and the IP address is part of that report.) Once you have the IP address, I think getting the printer back up would be a lot easier -but I''m not about to bring it down and find out! Hoping this helps.

I have several Macs and one Windows machine and had been using two separate printers for the two "tribes." I also had a fax machine, an old flat bed scanner, and a copier -all taking lots of real estate. When the Samsung ML1430 that I was using on an Airport Extreme USB printer sharing system broke after three years, I decided to go with a networked printer that could be shared between the Macs and the PC. I wanted a major printer brand, and HP was at the top of that list. Why? Because Samsung had stopped supporting the Mac and, as I upgraded my OS, I had had difficulties keeping the printer working. The old driver didn''t work with some OS upgrades. I hoped that a networked printer would make sharing among the Macs and the PC easy -and to a large extent it has.

I did have minor problems getting the printer to work with the PC since I had to turn off all firewalls during the installation and Dell had two. After about an hour of on-line research and fiddling, I got it to work. Getting the Macs to recognize the printer was a snap -sorry Redmond, Apple''s ads seem on target here, though part of the problem may have been with Dell putting two firewalls on the PC.

After the initial hassle with the PC, which has nothing to do with the 3055 per se, I am very happy with all functions -with one minor caveat below. As a printer or copier, it''s fast (almost 20 pages a minute and less than 10 seconds to first page). The automatic document feeder has worked flawlessly so far -often the Achilles heel in my experience. Some other reviews (elsewhere, not here at Amazon) noted that half-tone copies weren''t the greatest and I''d agree. The pictures come out a bit dark.Some of those reviews noted that changing the default setting from text to picture (or whatever HP calls it) helps, but I haven''t tried that yet which is a sign that it''s not a huge problem.

I haven''t used the scanner much yet, but did a few test scans which looked good. On color photos, the 300 dpi scan was poor, but setting it to 600 dpi did a nice job. The level of JPEG encoding changed from 300 to 600 dpi, with the 600 dpi scan being a much larger file, so it''s not clear how much of the poor quality at 300 was due to the scanner and how much to the JPEG encoding. I also have a Fujitsu ScanSnap and will keep it since it is much faster than the HP -but it cost as much as the HP and just does scanning, so that''s not an indictment of the HP. The ScanSnap is intended only for sheet scans, not books or other flatbed material, but is excellent at what it does.

The fax features work well too, and I got rid of my fax machine, freeing up space. I haven''t yet gotten rid of the copier, but might. The 3055 will enlarge and reduce by up to a factor of four -a nice feature. Having only one toner cartridge to keep track of, instead of the three I had before (printer, copier and fax), would be nice. HP toner is about 3 cents per page, a bit more than some laser printers, but much less than ink jets and OK in my book.

The 3055 is also good on energy usage. I hooked up a power and energy meter and, after about 180 continuous hours of light use (only two of use it and we''re not heavy printers), it averaged only 8 watts. When the laser engine is working, of course the power peaks up to about 500 watts, but HP has been good about making sure it doesn''t use too much power when idle, while still allowing it to start up fairly quickly. I''ve seen the idle power drop down as low as 6 watts at times.

I''m not sure if I should have given four or five stars to this unit, with the one star loss being mostly due to my networking problems mentioned above. As I said, that''s not an HP problem. So if you''re looking for a networked all-in-one, consider this five stars within that category.

Note added February 22, 2008: My network did come down again, and this time I set up a static IP address for the machine. With what I''d learned in the interim, it wasn''t such a big deal to do and has been working well for months. Now, I''m not worried about the network coming down and causing major problems. But you need to learn what static IP addresses work with your router (it varies!), how to set it (from the Menu on the console on the HP 3055 and choose Network Configuration, TCP/IP, Manual), and then how to tell your computer to find the device (hint: Intel Macs need the newer HP Setup Assistant and will not work with the one I had; accessible from HP''s support site). On the negative side, the one I bought for my daughter seems to have a bad network card now. That cost her another $200 geek squad visit to figure out, plus now we have to figure out if it''s worth fixing. My rating would now be 3-4 stars (depending if her bad card is unusual or not) if you understand networking really well or can rope a friend with that knowledge into helping you, but no stars otherwise.

Buy HP LaserJet 3055 All-in-One Printer/Copier/Scanner/Fax (White) Now

I have had previous bad experience with all-in-ones, but bought this as I liked the B&W Laser and network feature (and got it during a sale at half price). I liked it so much I recommended it to a client, who replaced her aging fax machine. The copy ability, with the sheet feeder, is great, the scanner works very well, even over the network, and everything seamlessly works for Macintosh and Windows computers (I have two macs and a windows box). The scanning resolution is good enough for almost everything at 600x600.

The main downside, and why it got 4 stars and not 5, is the reliability. My machine arrived with a malfunctioning Copier. The page would come out badly distorted. Amazon sent a new one, no hassles, and I sent the old one back. The one I bought for a client was from Staples, and after she had that for 6 weeks, it started having problems. Faxes wouldn''t come out unless you turned it off and on again. No warning lights just wouldn''t work. When it came back on, the faxes saved in memory for the last few days would spit out.

Frustratingly, when we called HP about this, our warranty allowed us to mail it to them, wait 3 weeks, and then they would send us the same one back repaired. No thank you I didn''t buy a machine to be without it for 3 weeks. The expedited option, which cost $50, had them send a new one and we would send the old one back. They would ship the new one next day air after the 2 week backlog. No thanks either! So, buy the machine as it''s a great machine, but keep your receipts, or consider the otherwise evil extended warranty, as there''s a good chance this will have problems within a few months.

This is my first all-in-one for a home office. It''s been a while since I''ve had an HP printer, and I had forgotten how well laid-out and well-engineered everything is. When you first set up the machine, be sure to go to HP''s website and download the firmware update.

The print quality is gorgeous; I couldn''t ask for any better, even when printing my intricate company logo with overlapping frames and shadings. Envelopes and even cover stock go through the machine smoothly and print perfectly.

Some extremely slick paper didn''t print well on it, but that isn''t especially surprising nor was it very disappointing.

The machine copies and scans well, and quite quickly for my purposes. It''s plenty quiet; I''ve never come across a quieter laser printer.

Using the on-screen programming (for fax header, etc.) is quite easy; my only complaint is that each entry you make brings you back to the "ready" screen, which adds some unnecessary steps.

My only real problem -and it''s a BIG one -is in receiving faxes. I get 99% of my business through the fax machine, and I can''t depend on the 3055. I get frequent "49 error" messages when receiving a fax. The folks at tech support have been uniformly very nice and knowledgeable (and I''ve talked to over a dozen of them), although their knowledge does not perfectly overlap. Advice: if you don''t get your problem solved with one person, call back later and talk to someone else.

After many, many hours spent with tech support, I have learned the following related to receiving faxes: this machine MUST have a two-lead phone cord, it should be plugged directly into the wall socket (no extension cords), and there''s still no guarantee that it will receive faxes consistently.

My solution: I''ve had to add a separate fax machine (the cheapest machine Brother makes works just fine!), and I''ll contact tech support again some months from now to see if they''ve figured out why I keep getting these "49 error" messages. (Please note: the 3055 I have is not defective, nor is there a problem with my phone line. The machine shares a phone line with my DSL, but the errors occurred even when it was hooked up to my main phone line.)

Overall, I like the machine but the fax problems I''ve experienced have been extremely frustrating.

Great machine but do NOT buy it for a Vista system.

Even if they state on their website the system is compatible, they forgot to mention that the scanner software is a generic one included with Vista. Scans only one sheet at a time. Does not output PDF files.

So the document feeder is useless for scanning.

They do not even have an ETA for a new driver.

If history is a good guide ....when XP was launched it took them for some of their systems a full year to get the drivers ready.

I love this all in one, it''s a little big, but much better then the brother 7820N I got first, while the 7820N is smaller, 7820N had some page curl and eats 1032 watts at peak which kept tripping my computer''s APC, this unit does not have paper curl and only hits 300 watts peak which is well below my circuit capacity. I would recommend this unit over all MFCs on the market, and with the currect 50% rebate going on for OCT, it cannot be beat for the price. If you need a B&W laser all in one, this is the best.

I have tried many fax machines and have found Brother''s technology to be superior for the price.

This impersonation of a fax machine was nothing less of a paperweight. It jammed paper as much as my favorite blues band. The programming menu never worked right. I would set it to NOT RECEIVE, and guess what..IT RECEIVED. Most of all, it would constantly say "CHECK PAPER" with the paper IN the tray. Today I had taken it out by the plug and smashed it into the walk alongside my house...Boy do I feel better!!! AVOID THIS GARBAGE.

I''ve had this fax machine for only a few months and have received almost no faxes (except ones not solicited) and it tells me to get a new cartridge. I think it is not user friendly and it does not give enough copies for an expensive cartridge. I have just dragged out my old fax machine to use again. Think before buying this machine. I wish I had.

Want Brother IntelliFAX 775 Plain Paper Fax/Phone/Copier Discount?

I was drawn to this phone/fax/copier machine because of the price. Very low. I had one, same brand, for a few years, but it finally quit working and I needed a replacement. I don''t need to fax regularly, just sometimes. Also rarely need to make copies, as I have a scanner, so I didn''t have to have this feature, but it''s nice to have for something faster than scanning it, then copying it. It''s also nice to have the phone for those times the electricity goes out and the cordless phones go dead.

I''ve had this fax machine for at least 10 years now. From day one it''s had trouble printing out a confirmation sheet. Fortunately I only use it to do an occassional fax but I have to guess that whatever I sent made it to where it''s supposed to go. It always complains there''s a jam when there is no jam and the printing feature always tries to suck in too much paper gets mad at me. Thankfully, the main fax scanner works like it should otherwise I''d have put this in the garbage eons ago. Another minor annoyance is that the phone doesn''t sit snuggly enough in the cradle. Just blow on it and it falls right off. I''m here today looking for another machine since I will need to fax alot more often now and I don''t want to rely on faulty equipment.

for some reason this adds 6 inches to the foot print. This means that you need 6" more desk space behind the unit.

I received the printer in 3 parts and it was easy to figure out how to fix it up and the drivers i downloaded from internet and there it goes it runs fine and is pretty fast and is also appreciated by many. It looks rugged and it is heavy duty too. The cartridge prints around 21000 pgs and that''s so incredible. I am so far happy with my purchase and i will recommend it to others too. Four stars because the functions are a bit typical and one has to go in the menu to do any changes(like selection of tray etc.) and can''t do it from the computer. i like it overall.

The number turns out to be Ethics Hotline which investigates items sold outside Staples. Now after printing just a few hundred pages, the toner is out of ink. Hence paying $27 means I purchased product which was not as advertised and probably it was a display item for in-store use. Hence it is out of ink.

This is my follow-up feedback.

HP makes the best cartridges in the world. This is one reason why the ink-jet and design-jet line of printers helped make HP the leading seller. And, those who know quality ink never settle for refills with non-OEM ink, or buy re-manufactured cartridges. This generous 69 ml cartridge is quality all the way. At these low prices for outdated cartridges that still give 100% performance, you''d want to buy an HP printer just so you could print for the lowest cost possible.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)As other reviewers have pointed out, if you own a Canon printer you will typically get the best results using Canon ink and paper. It is also true that at the time you print the Photo Paper Plus provides images that are virtually indistinguishable from the more expensive Photo Paper Pro. I have printed identical images onto both for the purpose of making the comparisons and am highly confident that no one would be able to tell without the most extreme side-by-side comparison.

There is, however, one big problem with the Photo Paper Plus. The images will fade much more quickly than the Photo Paper Pro. I have had images in a photo album that faded significantly just one year after printing. The album was kept in a cool, dark place but it made no difference. The Photo Paper Pro is designed to last for decades under similar conditions, but this paper is not. Unfortunately, Canon makes 5x7 paper only in Plus... no Pro paper is available.

I have taken to using this 5x7 stock solely to generate test prints. Once I know I have a keeper, I print it onto an 8x10 sheet of Photo Paper Pro and crop away the excess. If you want to have photos either in albums or picture frames that retain vivid color you would do well to avoid the Photo Paper Plus. If you only need prints to look good for the short term than by all means buy this and save the money.

About 2 1/2 years ago I finally got into the digital age. I began printing my own pictures and have tried every brand of photo paper out there (Kodak, HP, store brands, etc. etc.). By far, the most superior paper is Canon. They make fabulous photo paper that is reasonably priced and prints GREAT photos.

I did a wedding album using Canon photo paper and the couple I gave it to thought that the photos were as good as the photographer they''d hired, which speaks volumes to the quality of Canon paper.

I''d highly recommend that people use this brand. You won''t be sorry!

This is a very good everyday printer for fast and good quality prints. I like the fact that it has separate cartridges for each ink. However the price for the replacement ink is high.

I researched document/photo printers before deciding on this model. Amazed at the reported quality for the low price, I was even more surprised when I began to use the printer. Business documents turned out equal in quality to my old HP laser. Color documents were excellent also. I have no idea how equipment of this quality can be produced for such a low price. I sincerely hope that my purchase is not supporting sweatshops in Asia.
