Dulled-down colors when printing on plain paper. Software lacks settings to give advanced users full control.

There are big limitations on features

The special feature of the printer is the automatic detection of the paper type – provided it is Kodak paper, which has a printed code on the reverse side that is read by the printer. This takes one of the variables out of the printing process. It w...
Prints made directly from memory cards are pretty awful unless the image is exactly to the printer’s liking. And there is no provision for printing on CD/DVD surfaces, a facility that is taken for granted these days.
When the photo has been properly prepared in Photoshop the print output is consistently good –better quality and consistency than can be obtained from a commercial photo lab. Both postcard and A4 prints have excellent detail and colour. The scanner...

Print from media cards, USB thumb drives, competitive ink pricing
Not the cheapest printer in its class, photo colours are sometimes a little dull The Final Word Getting the highest print quality out of the 5300 costs about 30 cents per photo, which is a pretty good result. And those ink prices may be hard to pass up.

Abstract: Kodak is a relative newcomer to domestic printing and has made an issue of print cartridge value. You may still find some ink wastage though, as its coloured ink is stored in a single cartridge. This model printed well on photo paper, though its performan...
The Kodak EasyShare 5300s impressive performance in printing, scanning, and copying adds up to a solid all-around device, and the low cost to refill it with ink adds extra value. Despite the flaws we found in its scanner software, the Kodak EasyShare...

Abstract: A smart but pricey all-in-one office machine. A decent machine, but nothing worth getting excited about, especially at this price. Kodak is a newcomer to multifunction printers, but that hasnt stopped the upstart making some pretty bold claims about...
