For any query related to the printers, or any other related issue, the users can reach the experts by reaching Kodak printer customer service whenever they wish to.

Here, under Kodak’s new owner, Funai reappears with an affordable all-in-one called the Verite 55 printer. It looks great and comprises of all the features, a user want.

Pros:

  • The XL cartridges in box
  • It Scans to smartphone/tablet
  • Paper-white display

Cons:

  • No duplex print
  • No ADF
  • No fax

Design and Features

The printer has standard lines, with a black case and an overlay over back paper support which, when collapsed back, takes up to 60 sheets. Paper feeds via an output tray which folds down and flips in front from the front cover.

The flatbed scanner has a customary cover, with no Automatic Document Feeder, and to one side of this there is the control board. This uses a few of film switches for control and includes a four-line, paper-white display, which is very simple to peruse, yet somewhat simple.

Cunningly, this entire control board pivots up to uncover the twin head and ink cartridges, one dark and the other tri-shading. This makes the Verite 55 one of the least difficult, minimal effort holding nothing back ones to benefit.

Cartridges and Connections

Surprisingly, XL cartridges are provided with the printer as standard, and there is a XXL adaptation of the black cartridge, which can offer you to 600 pages between changes. The printer has a solitary USB Attachment at the back; however the wireless connection is more flexible, offering access to PCs, tablets or cell phones, under Windows, Android or iOS, with fast association by means of NFC.

With a NFC-empowered cell phone, association basically is simply a tap of it on the Verite's top cover, behind the show, to interface.

The Kodak applications intended for Android and iOS incorporate a snappy "flick to print" motion to send a photograph or archive to the Verite 55.

Print Quality and Costs

Print quality is like prior Kodak machines, with sharp, clean dark content and clear, brilliant colors in business design. Photographs come up as dull, with some shadow detail lost, yet a shading duplicate on plain paper delivered a portion of the nearest colors we have seen, in contrast with an original.

Since just Tesco at present offers the full scope of cartridges for the machine, there's a bit competition over cost. All things being equal, with the XXL dark cartridge and the XL shading units, and with Tesco's present three for two offer, we ascertain a mono page cost of 3p and a color expense of 5.9p, each including 0.7p for paper.

These are about the same concerning Canon's £45 PIXMA MX475 and a decent 1-2p less expensive than HP's Officejet 2620, both direct competitions to this machine. This makes it a competitive purchase, in regard of running expenses.

Is it OK to buy it?

The printer has as of now dropped in cost since its selective dispatch through Tesco and there are gossips about a further value cut. At its present cost of £59, it comes up against printers. Both these machines incorporate ADFs, for filtering multi-page archives, and fax offices - despite the fact that the HP has no wireless link and the Canon has a straightforward, two-line LCD. Neither has NFC association for cell phones, nor an ease of cartridge get to that the Kodak machine offers.

Verdict

The Verite 55 offers excellent quality, sensible costs and the ease of NFC connection and simple cartridge substitution. It is great to see duplex print incorporated into the spec, nonetheless. It is overall a good buy because of the features and performance.
