Detailed Test Results

PRINTING. The Kodak Verite 55SE prints using inkjet technology, which sprays liquid ink onto the paper from a moving head. It prints text very well, nearly as good as a laser printer. Text printing was reasonably fast, 8.3 pages per minute, costing 3.3 cents per page. Its color graphics printing is very good for reports, newsletters and web pages. The multi-color ink cartridge must be replaced when a single color runs out.

SCANNING and COPYING. Scanning performance was very good, fine for general-purpose scanning. It can scan or copy an area up to 11.7 x 8.5 inches. Copying performance was very good, suitable for most purposes.

CONTROLS and DISPLAY. The printer has a medium-size 2.2-inch display screen.

CONNECTIVITY and NETWORKING. It lacks USB PictBridge for direct printing from cameras. You can connect directly to a PC with a USB cable, or to your network router wirelessly with WiFi. The size and weight of this printer makes it more suitable for an office than a home.
