Worth every penny
By GypsyHeart
After having read so many negative reviews about various kinds of "print-at-home" papers, I hesitated to invest in a system to print my photos myself. In large part, I worried that the paper made for these docks would not be of a quality that I could pass around at family gatherings and show off in frames. Thankfully, the Kodak EasyShare paper has relieved my fears. My photos come out crisp and clear and ready to be handled. There is no smudging when they are touched and the small accidental spill rolls right off them. Part of this quality, of course, is due to the ink and printing process used. But somehow I doubt that paper from another manufacturer would leave me singing its praises if I substitued it for the Kodak product.Though other reviewers have said that the media cartridge runs out of ink before all of the paper is used, I have not had that experience. With each of my kits, I received a warning that the cartridge level was low by the time I got down to the last few sheets. I printed the next few pictures--using all of the paper--and was then told to replace the cartrige. The number of sheets and amount of ink are perfectly matched, as Kodak promises. I can't honestly think of any reason why people would run out of ink before paper unless they purchased defective kits. (Not that I have really given it much thought, either.) Many people have also commented on the high price per print. For me, the convenience of printing at home at my leisure makes up for that because I print quite a few pictures. However, the thirty cents per print more than people pay going to the store with their digital media may well be a bit pricey for the average Joe or Jane. I do think the price should--and will--come down in time as the market adjusts.For my time and money, however, I can't think of a better way to print pictures than sitting at home with a sheaf of Kodak paper in my EasyShare Printer Dock Plus.

By J. S Thomas
I have been using a Kodak digital for several years but not the printer or paper. After visiting my parents and using their kodak printer dock with the PH160 media cartridge kit i purchased i was hooked and had to get me a printer dock. I see people saying that they ran out of ink before paper, that has not happened to me so far. Also, that it like .50 a picture which is true if you buy the smaller 40 or 80 pack. I went with the 160 and it averages to .23 a picture which is well worth the money and is equal to walmarts price and no driving to the store and waiting in line, just do it at home with all the conviences. Heck with these high gas prices ya probably spend some $$$ just to get there and back plus the hassle factor. The print quality is exceptional and kodak paper and ink quality is top of the line and my photos look just as good as store developed pics, imo. Get the ph160 and bring down your average price per pic and enjoy instant at home pics......

By Mr. testb4ubuy
Many people are giving the Kodak PH-160, 80 or 40 photo paper a bad review not really understnding this technology.First, the printer does not use ink. Therefore, it cannot run out of ink. It uses a heat/thermal transer process which uses 3 color plastic-like sheets + one clear (kind of lik sheets of Saran Wrap. Heat tranfers the appropriate colors, one at a time in the correct amounts to deliver all the colors of the spectrum (i.e. combining primary color). The 4th layer is clear and that covers the photo, making it waterproof. No inject printer can do that...they may be water resistant, not water proof.So, my guess is when someone says they are running out of ink, they really mean that the indication on the Kodak EasyShare printer (I have the 500 model) is indicating low on cartridge or replace cartridge. What actually may be happneing is that the cartridge and software are out of sync. i.e. There is plenty of print capability left but the printer thinks it's almost out. There is a procedure in the EasyShare photo printer 500 which tells you how to "sync" it again. There documentation is very vague but Kodak customer service can explain it to you.Even if you just let the erroneous message of "low cartridge" continue, you will still be able to print all of the paper that came in the kit (cartridge and paper). Unlike inkjet printers, it doesn't matter if you use alot of red or too much black. There is a measured "sheet" of each color for each piece of paper. You do not run out of colors. You do not run out of ink (no ink in the ususal sense).You can get a jammed catridge (never happened to me). You can waste some of the cartidge if you manually take the slack out too often by hand (have not had to do this either other than initially putting the cartridge in).In fact, I ran all paper in the pack and even noticed that Kodak has put some extra in. I actually pulled this extra from the cartidge and noticed that I had enough excess to print 4 more prints (used all the paper, though).Note: I use the EasyShare photo printer 500. I am not sure if all of the other Easyshare printers use this same technology. I assume they do.This is the best print you will get for the $ from home. Beautiful!! (and I'm picky).It's so good that I will even put up with the sub-par software, slowness to move between pictures when viewing on the printer itself, and vague instructions. I ran a test in the store between the Epson (their small printer) and the Kodak 500. NO COMPARISON. The quality is far, far better on the Kodak. So much better that I don't mind the deficiencies stated above. In the end, what's most important is the quality of the print and it's durability. Slowness to switch between picutures when selecting not a problem if you do it from the PC instead of the printer itself. So, even if it's slow editing and selecting from the printer, you might only do this when on the road and don't have a PC handy. They (Kodak) has everyone else beat at this price. (Last...ever use a Kodak Self Service Kiosk for printing photos in a store. The printer technology on the 500 is the same as the printer in the Kiosk....Thermal transfer.I give the paper and cartriges a 5 star rating. Less on the printer software but this review is on the paper, cartriges and the prints it delivers. That's the most important part unless you are printing hundreds of photos each week. If your doing that many, you probably should be spend more than a couple of hundred dollars on a bigger dye sublimation printer.
