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...

Competitive ink pricing
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: The Kodak EasyShare 5300 is the first example of Kodak’s new inkjet technology we’ve tested. Kodak has backed pigment inks and a strategy to supply low-cost consumables. Competitors say this has meant Kodak has had to increase the initi
Good image quality. Affordable ink and paper. Easy to set up and use. Relatively fast when printing from a memory card. Pigment inks make for long-lasting prints.
Slow when used with a G3 or G4 Mac. Buggy printer driver. Can’t use paper profiles. Somewhat noisy.
The EasyShare 5300 has plenty of room for improvement, but with its affordable price and low-cost consumables, the printer will pay for itself quickly. ...
Easy to use, low priced consumables yet relatively high quality prints, plus good LCD
Heavyweight design, software issues, some of the claimed print speeds proved unrealistic
Cynicism aside, the key factor in buying the 5300 is the 50% less consumable costs. So rather than buy a £50 all-in-one from another manufacturer with inks that costs as much, if not more, when you come to replace them, Kodak have a pricier initial p...
The Kodak EasyShare 5300 is nothing if not a crowd pleaser. With its inviting white shell, large buttons, and simple software, its sure to attract digital photography novices. The vibrant but balanced color palette, meanwhile, is likely to have photo ...
Abstract: July 16, 2007 Kodak EasyShare 5300: Photos at 10 cents apieceThere is a certain uneasiness from the traditional manufacturers on this market with a newcomer having just upset the relative calm. It’s been five years now that not much has changed in t...
Abstract: It's not often we get to test the first machine from a new supplier in an established market, but that's the case with Kodak's EasyShare 5300. This is a brand new all-in-one machine, using an ink-jet mechanism designed from scratch for Kodak's entry into ...
The Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-in-One printer has decent-quality prints and scans, a dedicated photo paper tray, two USB ports, a large preview LCD, and inexpensive ink tanks.
There are big limitations on features: You cant edit or crop photos from this all-in-ones control panel; project software boots you over to Kodaks online site instead of helping you create projects to print at home; photo printing is four-ink, not s...
The EasyShare 5300 printer is Kodaks attempt at creating an easy-to-use, inexpensive all-in-one machine, but we think the company went too far and dumbed it down to where it lacks many of the features that the competition offers.
