KODAK Dock Plus 4PASS Instant Photo Printer (4×6 inches) + 90 Sheets Bundle (10 Initial Sheets + 80 Sheet Pack)

Just what I wanted
This printer is easy to set up and use. Quality of pictures is good. I personally don’t care for glossy pictures but haven’t looked to see if matte paper is available to use for this printer. I haven’t tried to edit other than to zoom in and crop. It’s a little loud but doesn’t bother me, I don’t use it in living room while watching tv with husband so I just pick it up and move it to another room to continue printing if need be. Love the perforated lines on paper, no need for scissors to try and cut perfect line, which in my case never happens.Kodak was and still is a household name for me. My father was once a photographer and sales representative for Kodak back in the 60’s in New Orleans so it’s a product I’ve always trusted and used even to this day.All in all it’s great for what I wanted to use it for.

Mostly positive
My biggest dislike for this printer is that the docking connector is ONLY for charging your phone. All of the data is transferred via Bluetooth. I can’t even begin to fathom why they put the cost of the connector into the product without using it for its most obvious functionality. It’s completely asinine.My next dislike is the software. The Android version wants tons of permissions. I’m a software developer and have written apps for my phone, so I know that this is largely due to the way Google crafts the libraries that developers need to use to include functionality. The pairing process should be a lot smoother than it is. I feel like the software could have been better designed, and Kodak is being highly proprietary, forcing us to use their software to use the printer. I think that is shortsighted; they will be making the bulk of the profit by selling us refill kits, so allowing others to write better software for the hardware and consumables that they’re profiting from is in their best interests.I bought two of these, one for me and one for my mother. She has an Apple phone, and as difficult as mine was to set up with my Android phone, getting hers set up was very nearly painful. The IOS software has several differences and I was a bit disappointed to see that it’s even worse to use than the Android version, specifically the way you frame the shot for what will be printed.I like the printer itself. There are several negative reviews regarding print quality. I don’t get it. I’m far from being a professional photographer – out of thousands of shots I’ve taken over the years, only one or two have been what I would consider ‘stunning’ – I just don’t have the eye. As an average Joe I feel like I need all the help I can get, and the photos look quite nice to me. I think the dye sublimation process produces better photos than my ink jet printers, and should hold their colors for much longer.The printer prints faster than I thought it would. It does take several seconds since it’s doing separate passes, but I actually expected it to take a lot more time.There have been a number of reviews that mention jams. I haven’t had a jam yet. Before purchasing the printers, I ran across a reviewer who recommended cleaning the roller surfaces when switching to a new cartridge. He also recommended using a pencil or other similar tool to stick into the ends of the ink cartridge rollers to make sure they were wound tight. That seemed like good advice, and may very well be why my own experience has been problem free.Overall and considering the price of the printer, the cost per print, and the convenience of the printer’s size, I believe this to be a reasonably good purchase. The software could stand a lot of improvement but it’s usable. Nothing mechanical is absolutely maintenance free, so paying attention to the state of the moving parts that you can see and examining the ink cartridge before use seems reasonable to me.

Sehr einfach in der Bedinung. Super um direkt Fotos zu drucken, zb. Für ein Gästebuch auf einer Fete.Es dauert zwar etwas bis jedes einzelne Bild fertig ist, dafür überzeugt die Qualität.Kann es nur weiter empfehlen.

Funziona benissimo, facile e veloce da usare.
