Kodak - Verite 55W Eco Wireless All-In-One Printer (Full Black and Color Ink in the Box)

FAIR WARNING THIS IS A LONG REVIEW/RANT, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO ME AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!So, I was like you not too long ago, in need of a printer but don't have "in need of a printer" money. I know how appealing it must be to see a printer for $30 that is wireless, has the ability to scan, copy, and print, and to top it off includes ink. I was shook!!! It was a must have for me especially since its my senior year in college with applications and papers and scholarships to print and send out.Well, lemme tell ya something. You do not want to be tricked by the sweet sweet devil named KODAK VERITE 55W. I almost had multiple psychotic breaks because of this excuse for a printer. Okay, so maybe I'm being a tad bit dramatic here, but, no I'm not. The ink was low before I even figured out how to connect to the Wi-Fi and because it is sort of new and unimportant, INK COSTS A TAD BIT VERY MUCH A LOT, so think about that when purchasing. Here's a list of the headaches that come with this printer: (if I just rant like I want to, you'd be reading an essay so....you're welcome)1. It will not connect to the wifi...like at all!1a.IF YOU ARE A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HAVE A SEPERATE LOGIN FOR YOU RESIDENTIAL WIFI THINGY ROUTER BOY, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME1b. I bought a whole fricken router (so I can have my own password and WPS access is easier) and paid for an internet plan from my already over-priced school, AND IT STILL DIDNT WORK!!!!!!!!Finally moving on from the bloody weak wifi2. The quick set up instructions were good, but where the rest of my instructions. You only get a stapled packet that is way too small of print to read. THERE IS NO REAL PHYSICAL SET-UP/TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTION MANUAL3. Customer Service = non-existent4. The software available online as well as the app...........SOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOLD!!! It's like Kodak retired from making printers in 2010 and pooped one out by accident in 2018, put it on shelves, and didn't even bother to update any of the softwareDO BETTER, AMAZON OUT HERE DELIVERING GROCERIES, GOOGLE NO LONGER JUST A SEARCH EGINE, HERE MAKING PHONES, LAPTOPS, AND SECURITY SYSTEMS, KODAK YOU CAN HANDLE UPDTING YOU APP SO I CAN ACCESS/CHOOSE DOCUMENTS WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED TO THE PRINTER THAT DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANYTHING!!!!!5. The most upsetting part, I accepted that this printer was not going to be a wireless printer after all and was happy with just have a printer for $30. With acceptance comes disappointment. For whatever reason, after using the printer probably 5 times (including all the test pages and alignment stuff), the damn thing wouldn't align and had a line straight through.That was it for me, I had to return it because no, my momma told me I should never stand around while someone disrespect me. I read the reviews and thought I was invincible but Kodak won in the end. I will walk through the pits of hell before I take on an enemy like this again.

OK, this printer claims it supports wireless printing like Google Cloud Print, but it also has a sleep mode that turns the printer off if idle. That sleep mode can be delayed to a maximum of 120 minutes and not defeated. When asleep the printer can not respond to a cloud print job submission from my Chromebook. I have to walk over to the printer, turn it on and then return to my Chromebook to submit my print job. Oh, and that will not work the first time. I have to power down and restart the Chromebook so that it will see that the printer is now online and ready.

For a low priced all in one it is doing a very good job. The ink saving feature is the main reason I purchased it. I've had Lexmark, HP's, and Epson printers; paid more for them and I feel the quality is the same with the Kodak. It is slow and a tad noisy, but it works, does well in the ink department and can be replaced with even cheaper printers. If you are not printing pictures and colorful brochures this machine will handle your printing, scanning and copying needs.,

I bought refurbished one, it works well, the quality of printed stuff is good, didn't cost to much, so I say it was worth it, my only problem is, because I use my pad and phone to print stuff, it's a little much-- you have to download an app, then you need to connect to the printer via printers Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth , like other printers that we had.

It made nice 5"×7" photos,good color, & real clear resolution. I also liked how easy it was to swipe the pics from my android w the Kodak app. The free color it came with, did not last as long as I thought it would. But I am still happy w Kodak. Sin, KB Fraser IV

I bought the first one and it locked up all the time, I got mad at it I literally threw it in the trash in about a month & like like an idiot I bought the second one hoping it would be OK only because I bought extra ink and didn't want to waste it. The second one performed just as bad as the first one and the customer service at Kodak is none good luck on that ,I literally threw it in the trash, and like an idiot but the second one hoping it would be OK only because I bought extra XL ink and didn't want to waste it. The second one performd just as bad as the first one and the customer service there is none good luck on that, I returned it back to Amazon and still no refund after 8 days! I've had better luck with a $40 HP printer from Walmart! MUCH better luck!

Product came on time, in good condition (I believe it said it was used I honestly dont remember). To my surprise, which to be fair could have been a lack of reading, it came with ink so that was a fun bonus.

Setup was kind of complicated and kept lagging. Seems to be working just fine so far. Already used half the ink and I don't feel like I printed that many documents. not sure how much of an ink saver this really is
