Limitations
The EASYSHARE 500 has relatively slow print speeds compared to modern inkjet or laser printers, limiting high-volume usage.

The dye-sublimation consumables can be more costly than standard ink cartridges, increasing operational expenses. Connectivity options are limited to USB 2.0, lacking wireless or network printing capabilities. The device lacks multifunction features such as scanning or copying, confining it strictly to photo printing. Drivers and software support may be limited as the product is discontinued, which could affect compatibility with newer operating systems.
