I purchased the ESP C310 in April 2012 from Tesco, and for a while it worked well, actually better than my two previous Epson printers. It was simple to use, with the ease and speed of changing ink cartridges being a very positive feature. The scanner was not as good as those from the Epson though - less easy to use. Colour was fine. However, after five months I started to experience problems with the black ink cartridge running out - in fact it wasn't running out, the print head was just not working. Not being a nerd, I wasn't sure what was wrong and after wasting a huge amount of both colour inks and black ink from a new black cartridge that I had installed, I went through the Kodak diagnostics for this printer, where it indicated the symptoms experienced were due to a faulty print head. I contacted the Tesco Electrical help line, who I must say were first class in their approach - they were professional and experienced, diagnosing the same fault, a faulty print head, from what I had told them. They then passed me to Kodak, as their protocol required, where I had a negative and unprofessional experience. The female that I dealt with had very poor English, kept me on the phone for 20 minutes, and indicated that I would have to go through several other diagnostic procedures before they would send me a new print head. This cost me time, more ink and a high level of frustration. Eventually the new head came after about a week and was fine, though I estimate that the whole exercise cost me around £30 in wasted ink - this printer uses huge amounts during the warm-up period, when print head cleaning and doing standardisation/check runs. Now, within another 2-3 months it has gone wrong again, with the black ink being the problem again - more wasted ink!! It started soon after I had installed the new print head, when black and white photos developed lots of parallel lines over them. Eventually the text began to fade and disappeared entirely. I have again contacted Tesco, and normally they have to abide by the manufacturer's rules, which state that they will replace parts like the print head on two occasions before they will change the whole machine or give you your money back. Tesco were again very professional and tried to put me through to Kodak, but even the Tesco man was kept waiting in a queue, so he took the unprecedented step of bypassing the system and allowing me to have my money back. He indicated that they got frustrated with Kodak also and that they had experienced a high number of issues to do with print heads! So within a day I have a new HP Laser jet printer installed, producing some stunning colour documents!

The Kodak Easyshare printer dock is a simple to use photo printer that eliminates the need for ordering professional prints. I have used this for quite some time now together with a D-SLR. The prints really do look great and the printer works great with non-Kodak image editing software as well.

It should be noted that it advances the toner every time the power supply cable is connected, thus reducing the number of prints from the toner. According to Kodak it needs to be constantly plugged in in order to avoid this, which might be a nuisance, especially since it is somewhat dust sensitive.

Was bought a Kodak Easyshare Printer Dock Series 3 as a xmas pressie and have to say the camera and the dock give very good results. Aometimes i feel these 'big' companies try to make too many models in too quick a time and this is where the problems arise.
a 40 pack cartridge/paper varies from £10 upwards, worth shopping around.

We have found this printer good and good value for money but unfortunatly it broke after 4months of use. (Some kind of jam, has had to be sent back to kodak which has taken weeks)

Have had problems with replace cartilage light on no matter what I do. Called Kodak and they were no help. Good when it works

The Kodak Easyshare Printer Dock Series 3 is a terrible product that the company refuses to correct. If you buy this product be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars in ink/paper combination kits that do not feed properly and never give you all of your photos. Sometime you are lucky to get a couple of photos for your $50.

Worse, the company refuses to do anything about this KNOWN LEMON. They will only offer to repair the piece of rubbish.

A MONEY PIT!
