Feb. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One Printer Review

The Kodak EasyShare 5500 All-in-One printer was designed with both the casual and the avid user in mind and is said to deliver sharp prints in crisp black as well as in vivid color on regular paper or photo paper, as well as a variety of other mediums including greeting cards, iron-on transfer decals, film transparencies, labels and envelopes.

Highlights and Features

According to Kodak, the EasyShare 5500 all-in-one has the ability to save users up to fifty percent of their printing costs in comparison to all other inkjet printers on the market today. This particular model also offers more than just simply printing text or photos as it is able to copy, scan, and fax, saving on valuable desktop space as well, a feature that ranks rather high with consumers.

For the novice user, the EasyShare 5500 offers one-click photo printing directly from memory cards, making it simple to print pictures right after taking them with your digital camera without ever needing to use a computer. In addition to this, the all-in-one also features USB ports and supports all PictBridge enabled digital cameras, allowing users more than one option for viewing, editing, and printing their documents and photos.

The intuitive control panel of the Kodak EasyShare 5500, said to offer more functionality than its EasyShare 5300 counterpart, is situated near the 2.4 inch LCD color display. The display is swivel mounted, allowing users to move it into a vertical position for easier viewing.

For copying and faxing purposes, the 5500 inkjet printer features a 35 sheet automatic document feeder and is also capable of faxing documents in color in addition to the usual plain black ink. The EasyShare 5500 is also capable of two-sided printing, a rather convenient feature that not all printers offer, and it uses a two cartridge system but with six different inks in total.

To use the EasyShare 5500 printer with your home computer you'll need to have either Windows XP or Vista (any version) or Macintosh 10.4.8 or higher as your operating system, anywhere from two to three gigabytes of memory, and at least 200 megabytes of available disk space.

The price tag of the Kodak EasyShare 5500 printer is generally around $299, which is usually considered to be about average for all-in-one printer devices.
