I'm not a huge fan of the print quality. The pictures come out a lot brighter than they look on my screen so before I print a picture I lower the brightness. Which seems to work. Overall I'm happy with my purchase and it's great for the price.

When I bought this printer, I read through a lot of negative reviews that said you would maybe get 2 good pictures out of the 8 that come in a cartridge. And a lot of people were complaining that it's not user friendly and it would repeatedly give you errors with no way to fix them. I was really nervous about potentially buying something that was supposedly a waste of money. But after receiving the product, I am leaning more toward the idea that most of the negative reviews come from people who did not read the directions when setting it up.

I did find a few issues with the product & app. First, the directions that come with the printer tell you to install the Kodak Instant Print app. Once you install it, the app will give you a message that a new app, Kodak Photo Printer is needed instead. That is kind of annoying to install one app, only to uninstall it and download another. However, the directions that come with the printer are printed in multiple languages, so I can understand that it's easier to keep the old instructions with the old app and just put the update on the old app rather than rewrite and re-translate the instructions.

My first print was a little difficult to get going. My phone connected via Bluetooth just fine. I did get the error about the paper being misaligned. I bought the package that has a cartridge included with the printer plus extra cartridges. At first I tried to make the one that came in the printer work, but then I just tried replacing the cartridge. The replacement cartridge works perfectly on every print. It's a bummer that the first one wasn't working, but I saved it and will try it again to see if it might work later.

I read a lot of reviews that said the print quality was terrible, and that they printed super dark. I tried to lighten my first print because of this, and it ended up looking overexposed. When I didn't touch the brightness tools, the prints came out exactly as they appeared on my phone. I wonder if other people had blue light filters and brightness settings on their phones that distorted the image, but the printer couldn't recognize the phones settings, and could only go off the settings from the printer app. The original image quality probably factors into it.

So all in all, the printer is a little slow, the app is a little bit finicky, and sometimes it runs into errors, but it is by no means a waste of money. I've printed several prints that all look amazing (I've included examples, the black & white one was taken on an older smartphone camera, so it looks a little grainy, but that's how it looks on the phone, too; don't blame the printer for your bad photos! I knew that photo had bad quality before printing). I love the size and the shape of the prints. I love the perforated bottom edge to give you the option of writing a caption or just having the picture. If you want extraordinary prints, make sure the quality of the images on your device are extraordinary. I do think the printer and app could be more user friendly, but if you read through the instructions while it's charging and re-read them as you're setting it up, it works pretty much as described in the directions. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, and I don't trust most of the negative reviews I read.

Cute gift for the technologically savvy person. App is not the best and quality is a bit so-so, but still a nice present that is useful in some situations. Buy the paper at Kodak it's way cheaper with coupons.

At first this item was frustrating because it did not come with a USB cord. I had to dig thru my vast collection of used phone cords to find one that worked. Instructions do not even say which size cord to use. But when I finally got it charged, it printed this super-cute photo (Dann, from K-pop group Kingdom). Yay!

Easy to transfer and process the photos taken with your smartphone and the quality is the best I've seen with any of these small and quick printers. Good job Kodak. Bought a second one for daughter and her family for kids photos.
