Remember Kodak's latest multifunction printers? The ones Kodak was all cocky about, claiming that they crushed the competition with amazing photos at 10 cents? Well, according to Popular Photography, it's all a big pile of steaming bull dung.

After testing the Kodak EasyShare 5300 against its HP, Canon and Epson counterparts, it seems that not only does the Kodak comes last in every single aspect, but it has no price advantage whatsoever, not even reaching the 10 cents per print mark. The final price per copy was 11.5 cents and the quality "was so low in color saturation that they could be deemed no better than 'draft' quality by professional or lab-print standards." If you use better-quality paper to get results comparable to the competition, the price soars to 37 cents.

Popular Photography has not tested the 100 years life of each copy, but after reading their article, I won't be waiting around to see if it's true or not.

<![CDATA[Kodak's First Big Printers in 5 Years: EasyShare 5100, 5300, and All-in-One 5500]]> EasyShare_55002.jpgIt takes a lot for an all-in-one printer to grace the Giz's homepage, but Kodak's new line of AIOs deserve a little extra attention because of that cheaper, ever-lasting, and faster spitting ink we told you about earlier.

That's the 5500 above, the king of the road. It prints, scans, copies. It has PictBridge, memory card slots and a 2.4 inch LCD for editing on the spot, a fax, document feeder and duplexer. Cadillac style, man.

Then there's the 5100 and 5300.
