Kodak - Dock Plus Retro (PD460)

I’ve been having a lot of fun with Kodak 4PASS printers. Basically they ship both the ink and paper in cartridges and you print from an app on your phone. I think the quality is great, especially for the price. It’s also fun to watch the photos come out one color at a time printed over each other. Also the paper/ink packs aren’t very expensive: I think they come out to about $0.30 per photo. • [4x6 printer](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088PRX3BD): $150 • [2x3 printer](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FST3H95): $100 Plus, if I actually care about getting the best quality, I’m going to order prints from Printique or Whitewall to have better paper selection and not deal with buying and maintaining an expensive printer that only gets used every couple weeks at best.

So I've got the Kodak Retro and while I like it for my own purposes, I can't say I would recommend it. For one, I have not been able to find a cost-saving substitute for the paper, so I often end up hounding Amazon for when it's on sale and buying several packs at once, which still ends up pricey. But I like the quality of the prints (though it tends towards being too dark, lightening the image before printing works, though) and I do not aim to have the prints have the exact dimension of any particular part of my Hobonichi, I just print 1 photo per sheet 90% of the time. Also, the paper is not adhesive and peeling the back layer off to make it less bulky is cumbersome, so yes, it adds bulk. My Cousin's chonked up quite a bit since I started putting photos in the dailies (almost no other ephemera beside the photos and some stickers). I keep seeing the Canon Selphy mentioned favourably, maybe look into that?

I used to use an HP Sprocket and it was great but then I saw the photo quality of the Kodak Retro and the colors just seemed so much more vibrant! I have made the switch to Kodak Retro! I also priced it out and the Kodak refills are about half the price of the HP Zink paper.
