The Kodak EasyShare 5300 is the first example of Kodak's new inkjet technology we've tested.....
| Pros: | Good print / scan colours, Easy to use, Running costs |
|---|---|
| Cons: | Large, soft scans |
Resembling an HP design from a few years back, the EasyShare 5300 is large and incorporates an HP-style front paper load system. It’s solidly built but, unfortunately, not particularly quiet in operation.
Print quality on glossy paper is basically very good, with nicely saturated colours and good colour accuracy. However, gloss-finish bronzing is evident, as is inconsistent shine despite the inclusion of a gloss optimiser. Plain paper printing quality all round is excellent, especially for copying. Photo print speed is not great – 154 seconds for an A4 photo and 50 seconds for a 6x4in. Scanner performance is good, with accurate colours, but greys did suffer a slight green cast.
Have your say!

Had one of these for just under 12 months. When it works it's great - BUT, I've now had two replacement print heads supplied by Kodak foc, but now it has stopped working entirely, despite assistance on line from Kodak. My father also has one, same problems with print head. Would not recommend or replace with Kodak - poor quality from such a previously respected brand.
