Kodak printer review
There was a short review of the Kodak 5300 in the Technofile column of
today's Syracuse Post-Standard. Find it at http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/tec111807.html. This columnist doesn't write for the techie/geek or for the business IT guy. He writes for the everyday person with a home computer, one who maybe doesn't know a megabit from a modem. His space is limited, so don't expect exhaustive reports or comparison testing. It's just his first impression, based on a few hours of using the printer. TJ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

TJ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com TJ - Kodak's whole line of digital cameras, and now the MF printer, are especially great for the non-computer literate user. Together with a docking station, the cameras make printing and/or emailing pictures very simple. Now, with their new line of printers, the non-geeks among us have an even easier approach to producing beautiful prints themselves. I would say also that the images that I've printed from my brother-in-law's Kodak camera were excellent. Extremely sharp, good color gamut, excellent auto exposures. I have a personal problem with using a "dumbed-down" system, but that is really my problem! I have all the negatives that my father took from the 1930's to the 1950's with Kodak cameras with fold-out bellows. I've printed them in my darkroom prior to the advent of digital cameras and made excellent 11x14 b/w prints. More recently I've scanned some of the negs and made fine digital prints. I have two of these cameras sitting on a shelf on my bookcase, along with my own Brownie Reflex from preteen days. The Brownie pix weren't that sharp, but that camera did introduce me to photography. I hope that Kodak resumes its prevous place as a major player in the area of photo imaging. BTW, the second link in the article you mentioned is a very good, simple treatise on the overly expensive inkjet OEM inks. |

But the everyday person reads the Herald Journal. Not likely, unless he's using it for an historical reference. The Syracuse Newspapers stopped printing the Herald Journal in September 2001. At the same time they changed the corporate name to match their remaining newspaper, The Post-Standard. TJ -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
