Great price for the amount of photo paper I got, love these!!
I love this little printer. It does the job well for what it is and how much it costs. I looked into several different instant printers and chose the Step Slim Instant for the small product size, the small photo size, printer price, and price-per-photo price. The quality of the photos is fine for everything else you get with this product.
The actual printer is so small that it fits in my pocket, and the photo prints are a little smaller than a business card so it fits perfectly in my wallet. Those I've shared photos with are so happy to know these are also stickers! They cost about $0.50 per print which isn't bad at all, and the printer itself prints decently fast.
However this printer and paper is on the cheaper end - so the photos aren't exactly very clear or vibrant. It's perfectly fine for the price point and convenience. It does require the app (and on Android, this app requires location permissions) for printing, but the app is fine. A friend downloaded the iPhone app and was able to print through my printer this way too. I've noticed this printer seems to print iPhone photos better, and struggles with the quality of printing any digital art. Must be RGB to the ZINK style printing - purple tones don't come out very good this way.
I'm very happy with this little printer and haven't had any trouble with it jamming or printing. It does get warm/hot when printing continuously and will pause longer between prints depending on how hot it's gotten. It does print 'fast' overall though. I'd recommend this printer to anyone looking for a lower price point both for the printer cost and price-per-photo. However, make sure to check reviews with images of the photo quality to understand the quality trade-off. The photos aren't vintage-looking, and you can modify your photos in the app too to make them more vibrant or have more contrast. The quality is very decent for the speed and price point you're paying.
Used it a couple times 2 years ago and forgot about it in drawer. Now it won’t stay connected or print and the firmware update has been at 0 % for the past few hours
I've ran a few 100, negs and slides with the Slide and Scan Max, yes the SD card gos in upside down, yes you can us a sizes above 32gb I use a 128gb with no problems, it works fine with out PC or Laptop hooked up as you can just install the SD card to edit you photos, My only wish is that it would have came with a Slide try for 24mm "APS" system negatives.
Please to have great quality but took a long time to get here!
Paper jams often. This is my 2nd printer. Very upset and disappointed. So many problems.
I have tried for 4 months to get the stupid printer to connect… I have all but begged on the phone and via email for ANY support. So my final solution is review and then explain on every social media platform, every public Kodak platform what a piece of garbage their product product is and try to help as many people as I can NOT make the mistake i mad and think purchasing this or any Other product is a good idea
I am seeing the upload symbol on the screen when trying to view the slide photo , it makes it hard to see the full photo , I have reconnected and used different port on my lap top with no success . When I scan the photo the symbol is not on the scan when I look on the sd card
I have the slide and scan digital film scanner 7" Max
Great machine, very user friendly, good quality of the scans and great stability and colors, but the way that we can't chose de quality (size, compression), maybe in a future update? those point isn't a good point, slow rewind too, but one of the best super 8 scanner i ever try.
Hi,
I received the 8mm Kodak Reels Digitizer, easy to operate and works fine! Now a 16mm version!
and a sound version! So Kodak it is up to you.
Thanks
This screen has two seams that are across the screen. They are very visible watching a movie. Creases also visible. It's beyond Best Buy's return window. I'm stuck with it!
I followed the instructions and immediately produced a nice looking print using a photo from my iPhone. The next print was not completely printed with a white blank space to the self of the photo and it was necessary to pull the print out of the printer which took considerable force. The third print produced a paper jam which could only be removed by opening the paper compartment and forcefully pulling the unexposed sheet out of the printer. Further battery charges of the printer and attempts to print resulted in a blinking red print failure indication and the need to open the paper storage compartment and pull out the unexposed sheet of paper which was only partly fed into the printing mechanism. This was a rather poor experience and am in the process of exercising the one year warranty. Poor Kodak. Where is the quality control?????????
Easily the shittiest instructions I have ever had the misfortune of using. You'd think there would be an instruciton on scanning a slide, but there is not. Also, the feeder cannot accept any sized insert and still allow slides to slide through it. It is horrible. There is nothing intuitive whatsoever about this piece of crap.
The camera was unable to read an sd card aa few weeks before the warranty expired but we didn’t put it together until the screen froze 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Kodak was no help as they said the warranty expired. 2 weeks prior. If your product is so good why don’t you stand by it and offer to replace it? Terrible. For such an expensive camera it is quite crappy. Don’t waste your money please.
Have had this projector several years now - cannot update apps and battery died. Will not hold a charge, is it worth repairing?
I have the same problem as Pamela Seburn 02 01 2023
The word FALL appeared. My scanner won't capture any more slides and I couldn't find any reeference to this situation in the User Manual Help
I see an entry in January asking this question that was not responded to. I am looking in June.... Wait, or start the search for a new product???
I think you did a good job designing this copier. There is one minor problem for some but a significant issue for me: You forgot to include a magnification device so I could read your microscopic print.
Do you really think teenagers with perfect eyes are buying this device? I'd bet the majority of your dwindling customers are people who need thick glasses.
(Most teenagers never heard of KODAK.)
A larger foldout sheet on how to work the buttons would be of great value.
Until then, send me instructions that I can read.
Thank You
So, I ordered the Kodak 8mm Digital converter for 399.99 + Tax. I found it easy to use and setup, large screen to view changes, large buttons for easy selection, easy on screen menu, loading the film was also easy and accessible, directions were great, exactly what I have come to expect from a Kodak product (that is why it got 2 starts). Unfortunately, this is where it all ends. The most important features of converting the 8mm & Super 8 films were totally over looked and lacking.
The clarity of the video was so bad that I thought the lenses were out of sync and frankly, they really could be. When I called support, they really were no help (I called them 3 different times). So, I returned the converter and ordered another one, thinking I had a bad machine. But, the 2nd machine had the same bad quality. Not only that, but I learned the machines resolution is 240 DPI(other machines range from 720 to 4800 DPI) --- OMGOSH, what was Kodak thinking… or lack there of! Considering this is a company that built its 112 year old reputation on Product Quality, Print & Film Clarity and being the Best in Service. Then, even the bad conversion, I transferred to a flash drive and put it into the TV to view the videos… that failed miserably! I learned that you need to convert the conversion to a compression rate of H 264 to view on the TV…which they did not build into their product … oh, and this was also the most expensive of the converters online. They did full refunds for my returns which is great. So, I say this is NOT a good buy.
after 5 or 10 years people will die
the people use Kodak Colorburst 100 will go for ever befoer see it again
must kodak made Colorburst again with design look like it
Do not buy this projector, it is a piece of junk! Wasted almost 400 bucks on this crap for it to give me issues every time I want to use it. Always difficult to connect with my phone, doesn’t want to play movies in Tubi, and can never mirror with my phone. Regret buying this device.
Part of the issue is on me, as I bought a used unit. It seemed to work fine. I digitizied approx 20 50 ft reels and 3 300 ft reels over the span of a week. No issues other than occasionally the reel that the film transfers to during the scanning occasionally would get hung up and need assistance getting going again. Not a constant issue, but enough to where I had to babysit the unit.
Then about 2 hrs into a 3 hr scan of a 300 ft reel, the unit just shut off. All the footage from the past 2 hrs gone. The unit now shuts off about 5 seconds after turning it on.
Tried several things, multiple power cycles, firmware update (which it stayed on during and seemed to do fine). Nothing worked. It stayed on a few times, and I attempted to work on a new reel. The one time I got far enought to try, it looked like it would work, but the recording icon never appeared, and the reel did not move through the scanner. I assume it is an issue with the motor.
I contacted Kodak for assistance, and typical of a lot of companies these days, they won't do anything. No offer of being able to send it in for service at my expense. No suggestion for an area repair person. Just a "hey send in a proof of purchase or contact the retailer to see if it's under warranty". So basically cough up another $400 for a new unit...
So with that in mind, I took a look inside to see if anything obviously wrong is visible. With the parts in there, this is a highly inflated item price wise. This is maybe a $100-200 max unit, inflated with the Kodak brand name plastered on it.
Like I said, it's a great unit when it works, but buyer beware if anything ever goes wrong, and you are out of warranty.
I got this printer about a year ago and have used it twice. Every time I use it there’s a new problem with it. And on top of its many problems I bought the same exact paper from another brand and it wont take it it’s completely the same. It’s the canon ZINK paper 2x3 so it’s the exact size and everything this product is horrible I would not recommend it it’s a cool product and I feel like I would love it if it actually worked.
Après 9 mois d'utilisation et des difficultés dernièrement pour obtenir un bon contact électrique, la prise USB n'apparaît plus dans sa fente ...,
Il me restait environ 400 diapos à scanner, et je n'étais pas mécontent du produit avant.
Moi aussi je m'attendais à une meilleure qualité du produit et ma garantie est aussi terminée.
A good little scanner at a fair price. Color and brightness adjustments are what you'd expect at the price point which brings me to the down side. Once the images are edited on the computer using good editing software, one can't put them back onto the SD card and view them on the convenient little screen. Tech service didn't really know the details of why this doesn't work and could not offer a work around so not much help there. So good for scanning but not for viewing.
Also - the scanner underscans 35 mm slides - doesn't capture the edges and if the subject fills the slide then it's a problem. I put it in sideways, got all of the image I wanted and then could not rotate the image - no function on the scanner. Once the image is edited with outside software I was SOL.
