Kodak’s entry-level Verité 55 SE all-in-one inkjet printer offers good quality output, easy cartridge replacement, a convenient NFC connection and relatively low running costs. It’s exceptionally good value for money and a great choice for everyday home printing or small offices.
Design
As an all-in-one, the Kodak Verite 55 SE prints, scans copies and produces photographic images. It comes with 126 MB of DDRE memory and has a processor speed of 360 MHz – ideal for home use. The printer allows easy wireless printing from PC, tablet, laptop or smartphone (it even has a smartphone app for ultra-fast setup). Wired printing via USB 2.0 is also available (although the USB cable is not included in the pack). The printer’s 2-inch LCD makes it simple to navigate through its menu options. It can yield up to 6 copies a minute and allows you to reduce or expand the size of the print (25 per cent – 400 per cent of original size).
Advantages
Print quality, for the low price tag, is outstanding: crisp, sharply defined text and vivid, bright colours for business graphics. And, unusually, XL print cartridges are supplied with the printer as standard (Kodak’s XXL cartridge for this printer will yield up to 600 pages). The printer also comes with a manual duplex function to save on paper costs.
Ink cartridges are quick and simple to remove and replace. The Verité 55 SE requires a black and colour cartridge which are available in both standard and high capacity.
Disadvantages
Photos tend to print a little on the dark side, with a small loss of shadow detail. But other than that, we could find no additional disadvantages to take away from the Kodak Verité 55 SE being good value-for-money machine.
