Product Description

Product Description
When emotions are high, customers buy. That is, if you have prints ready for them. You can, with the Kodak Professional 8500 Digital Photo Printer. Now, you can produce professional photo-quality prints right at the photo session when customers are ready to buy. And you'll get them in less than 75 seconds! Whether you're in the studio or on location, speed counts.And unlike some other digital printers, with the 8500 Printer, you can get full 8 x 10-inch prints - in either gloss or matte finish. And with a laminate overcoat, they will be fingerprint-free and water resistant. The enclosed paper path of the 8500 Photo Printer means higher reliability and fewer remakes. Along with the affordable cost of the printer, this means you control costs and increase revenue. And because it uses dry imaging technology, there are no jets to clog and no spills to worry about.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review about the actual printer, December 10, 2008

By	Matthew T. Dragon (In the middle somewhere) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review discusses the actual printer and not the shipper or my buying experience.

I have had the opportunity to use the Kodak 8500 to develop my home pictures. My FH20's pictures printed wonderfully. The higher DPI is clearly present and the printing speed is not as bad as I thought.

If you can find this printer, the quality is probably the best you will find for under 1000 USD. If you are considering a 7+ MP camera and want great quality shots, this is the way to go.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THIS PRINTER:
As of September 30, 2005 Kodak announced that this product was discontinued with support ending in 2008 (approximately).

1.0 out of 5 stars Would NOT deal with this person or persons RIP OFFS, April 2, 2008

By	Robert Kicinski - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered an 8500 printer in February I requested a delivery in early March paid 265.00 after further checking I then paid the extra 50.00 for a paper kit and 3 year warranty. When the printer came it came missing all the parts associated with it and the paper kit came 3 days later. I emailed and talked with them and they told me to re-order the item costing another 305.00 They send a pre paid return form for me and I sent the unit back and kept the paper kit, after they got my return and they re-sent my replacement I had everything to start work. After I told them that they sent the wrong paper kit to me the 2nd time I was glad I kept the kit from the 1st order. Now I can do my work. After about a week they only credited my for 165.00 on the returned item 120.00 less than what I paid for because of keeping the paper kit. And they only charged 50.00 extra for the paper kit and 3 year warranty. Thus this item has NOW cost me over 420.00 for a 265.00 printer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!and a month of aggrivation..... and constant emails. LOOK ELSEWHERE to BUY a PRINTER
