DON'T BOTHER with this Kodak

 

I thought I'd done very thorough research before purchasing the Kodak Hero 5.1. But after only owning it for 6-8 months, the ONLY good thing I can say about it is that the double sided printing works like a charm - when the printer WORKS at all.It's a...

Double sided printing

Very high ink consumption, printhead clogs frequently

prints perfectly the fourth attempt evertime

 

This printer is garbage, from the initial startup and calibration it was jamming itself. After several attempts it successfully calibrated and now every single time I go to print something, it gets 2 paper jams, then prints only on the left hand side...

Kodak AIO Hero 5.1

 

Kodak HERO 5.1 Wireless Color Printer with Scanner & Copier This is a very affordable, easy to use and very reliable product with some awsome capabilities (such as 3d photos!). If this had a scanner, I'd give it 6 stars!

I hate this printer

 

Every time I try to use this printer, something goes wrong. At first it was funny and I would joke with my husband about how this printer was bossy and controlling and never did what it was told. I thought it was user error. But over time after reading...

Unreliable and won't print B/W without color cartridge.

 

Never again. Needed to print black and white, but it's complaining that it needs color ink. Called customer service, spoke to someone in India that had me wait forever to tell me that a good black and white print needs color. I have to print. I don't...
