bit-tech Shopping: Kodak G-200 Photo Paper Kit - 200 Sheet

Rating: 10

Time with product: 2 Days

Strengths: Cheap, high quality prints at about $0.25 per print

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: I have been using the previous Kodak dye sublimation printers and paper kits for several years. After printing, the ends of the paper had to be removed by breaking on the perforations. In contrast, the G paper is exactly 4" x 6" and the finished prints do not need to be trimmed. In addition, the new technology with the G-series printers and G-series paper is faster (60 sec for a finished print with G vs. 90 sec for the old system). The G paper, as well as the final coating of the prints are also advertised as long-lasting. This claim is difficult to verify.

Strengths: Kodak paper for a Kodak product--how can you go wrong! Buying the kit provides a printer cartridge with the paper, ensuring you have enough ink for printing all the paper in the kit.

Weaknesses: I haven't found any weaknesses for this product.

Summary: The whole setup that Kodak has produced--the camera and docking station/printer in one package which can be used with or without a computer--and then top it off with a paper package that gives you the right size paper for the docking station/printer that comes with an ink cartridge. It seems that everyone is looking for the best price and the most convenience--well in my thinking this is it.

Strengths: Good quality pictures. Easy to use.

Weaknesses: Paper/ink hard to find locally.

Summary: It was easy to understand I guess that is why they call it an easy share. Even the technically challenged members of our family had no problem operating the G600. The supplies are reasonably priced. With a new baby around it gets plenty of use.

Strengths: Product quality was very good. Makes better quality pictures then regular photo paper. Ink cartrigde is easy to load.

Weaknesses: Only available product for G600 printer therefore more expensive then other photo printing options.

Summary: I had purchased a G600 printer for my 80 year old parents and I was worried they would not be able to change the paper. My father is able to load the paper and cartridge with ease. He is not computer savvy so this is a good option for him.
