After repeatedly trying to print from a card recommended in the booklet and after requesting technical support, I am unsatisfied with product and vendor. I emailed support on April 8th and was promised an answer within 48 hours and 4 days later am still waiting.
I bought this printer with the thought that it would be an easy way to print photos directly from my camara. I have a very expensive paper weight.When I was able to get it to work, the pictures were of disappointing quality. I've owned the printer for about 1 year and now it won't read either my 256 MB or 2G memory cards, also the PictBridge isn't working with my camara either, it just freezes. Since you can't connect this printer directly to your computer, I am out of options I guess. I even went back and bought the Lemark paper specifically, thinking maybe that was the issue.So all and all I would not recommend this product. I would suggest finding a printer that prints directly from the camara as well as from the computer.
Plug your XD card into the P315 AND PRESTO print your edited images. This is the perfect solution to getting great looking pictures to them with or with out your PC.First of all let me tell you that any one who says that this printer will not work with a computer is dead wrong. .Our customers always want to see how the progress is going from time to time. You can adjust the color and saturation or what ever in Photoshop (all versions) on your pc, like we have and you will have pictures that look as good as any from a photo print store.On the fly or on the construction site we simply drop the XD card from our Fuji digital camera into the P315 and print out great looking photos with out text or any cropping.We are very happy with this unit and it has helped us close every sale when we walked into the home owner's kitchen. You can with any type of digital card reader hooked up to your computer transfer your images to your PC hard drive.Fully edit, crop, merge, install a caption or what ever effects you want to add on with your pc. Then save the edited images back to your XD card for instance. Shot some before images, handed them to the customer and said. Will see you again in 3 weeks for the final pictures of your new kitchen.Fantastic printer for the contractor on the go.
Printing is very slow. I consider myself a 30 year amateur who still loves my SLR & negatives, but attracted to digital by the versatility & convenience. I was "re-gifted" this printer after dipping my toe into digital photography. I haven't used it enough to empty the 1st ink cartridge yet, so I can't comment on that aspect. This is an ok printer for everyday use. The skin tones are too red, and resolution not great. If you're looking for something to just print those shots to hang on the fridge, it's ok. I'm now looking to purchase a better printer that will produce up to 5x7, at least, prints in the HP brand as I've had good experience with their brand, not so with Lexmark.
I've had this printer for over a year now and I LOVE it. If you want something more professional quality, I'm sure there are products out there with more bells and whistles. You can't beat the price, and the quality of prints is great for my purposes. I use it to print lots of photos of my kids to put in calendars to give to family and friends, and the last print I made is as good as the first. The only real drawback I've experienced is that it seems to go through ink like water, but I suspect that's not unusual for this sort of product. I highly recommend this printer.
