Three years ago I bought a Kodak EasyShare C533 camera with the series 3 printer dock. After much use the dock stopped printing. Looking around for a replacement, I was shocked at the prices, $399.99 just for a printer dock. Got one from E-bay for about $80.00 and so far it works fine. Had a problem with lines in the picture with one cartridge but apparently it was just that one defective cartridge. Initially I changed cartridges when told to by the printer and have had some extra paper ever since, now I change cartridges when it just won't print any more and my reserve is not growing. Cartridge/paper bundles have also gotten pretty expensive but I take my SD card to the store for processing for big batches of pictures and use the printer for a few pictures at a time and so for the convenience, no big complaint. The printer does need to be unplugged for reset due to various minor problems but I've gotten pretty much used to that. Kodak does not do a good job labeling the paper/cartridge bundles (there is one for the G series printers - not compatible with series 3). In the last few months local stores have stopped stocking the paper/cartridge bundles so it was Amazon.com to the rescue and at a cheaper price that the last store price for the 160 count bundle - and every time I went to buy a bundle, it cost more than previously. This unit prints pictures that have a greater three dimensional quality than what comes from the store/lab but takes a bit of attention to take care of paper feed and various other little problems that crop up. Overall, I have had good luck and enjoy having this printer/dock. Get more detail about Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock PLUS.
