The editors didn't like
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.
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, a company synonymous with photography, seemed to struggle grasping the digital era: its compact cameras offered relatively low quality and its inkjet photo papers were poor. Now, out of the blue, comes inkjet technology which leapfrogs many of t...

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...
Abstract: Kodak is really pushing the cost savings message with its first consumer all-in-one inkjet printer, the EasyShare 5300. Even before you unpack it, the box is emblazoned with bubbles claiming Save up to 50% and listing the ink costs: $14.99 for the bl...

Abstract: SAN FRANCISCO -- Its hard to believe that Kodak introduced its pigment-based all-in-one EasyShare printers in February. While more expensive than its competitors, our report at the time noted that the three printers use consumables that cost much les...
Lower cost per print than competing models, · Intuitive control panel, · Faster photo printing speeds, · Good direct print format compatibility.
umers have to navigate the world of allinone photo printers, allinone office printers, and multifunction toner printers, with different features, resolutions, dpi, displays, etc. Unfortunately, Kodak only brings another mediocre model to the table. Whi...
Initially, we had high hopes for the Kodak EasyShare 5300, with its highly touted, inexpensive ink and potentially better quality scans due to the addition of a CCD sensor. However, our hopes were not quite realized. The printer was slim on features i...

Abstract: Some — myself included — would say that printer evolution is spent. The ink-jet was essentially the end of the line for printer makers. By sticking some tiny holes in an ink bottle and hooking those selfsame holes up to electricity, you got a...
Excellent photo and graphic prints; ink cartridges are inexpensive; control panel is user friendly.
Flawed scanning software; copies are oversaturated; relatively slow print speeds.
The Kodak EasyShare 5300’s 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 I found in its scanner software, the EasyShare ...
Great print quality, Best ink prices on the market, Easy to use
Editing functions are difficult to use
The Kodak EASYSHARE 5300 All-in-One Printer is easily the choice for anyone wanting fantastic photos, great printed documents and a scanner all in one package. Even if the Kodak printer used inks that cost twice as much as they do, I would still recomm...
