Product Description
Product Description
 Save an average of £75 a year on ink.** |
When buying a printer it’s tempting just to look at the ticket price of the printer. But with expensive ink cartridges your total costs are not always clear and can come as a bit of a shock later on. Kodak All-in-One printers are different, they have the lowest total ink replacement costs in the industry.* Independent tests prove that you can save an average of £75 a year on your ink.** Don’t just take our word for it, all testing was done independently to ISO standards by QualityLogic, who have provided testing services for the printing industry for over 20 years. QualityLogic are a world-leading expert in printer testing and were integral in developing the international standard (ISO) for measuring print cartridge performance. So say goodbye to overpriced ink and enjoy Kodak’s low-cost, high quality pigment ink cartridges that give you all the bright colours and sharp text you’d expect for just a fraction of the price.

More than 100 years of Kodak image science research lies behind Kodak’s patented pigmented inks and advanced micro porous photo paper technology. This results in best-in-class image stability together with the brilliant colour and exceptional image quality Kodak is known for. According to Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR), a leading independent print permanence testing laboratory, Kodak All-in-One printers are ‘best in class’ achieving the highest level of overall print permanence of any current consumer desktop printer system. Other printer brands suggest you keep your photos under glass and out of the light to prevent fading but Kodak photos will last a lifetime,*** with no catches. As well as using pigmented inks which have inherent advantages over the dye-based inks found in most other brands of consumer inkjet printer, Kodak All-in-One printers use an additional clear protective gloss ink. The clear ink is applied in variable amounts depending on the amount of colour ink on each photo delivering a beautiful uniform gloss finish to the photo whilst also improving stain protection and smudge and scratch resistance. No other brand of consumer inkjet printer uses this technology.

Kodak All-in-One printers are designed to be easy to set up and use. The 1.5-inch colour screen provides a clear menu and allows you to view and edit photos. You can print and copy at the touch of a button without a PC and an intelligent paper sensor automatically adjusts the printer settings based on the paper type to deliver the possible print quality first time every time. And thanks to the pigment inks and micro porous papers photos dry instantly so they can be handled as soon as they come out of the printer avoiding any possibility of smudges or finger prints. Scanning is easy too, the high resolution optical scanner allows you to scan multiple images at once with the software automatically creating separate image files making it quick and easy to get great scans.
*As compared to leading consumer inkjet printers total ink load replacement costs using manufacturer's recommended ink cartridges; excludes printers that use only one cartridge. Based on independent third party cartridge pricing survey data obtained May 2009. IDC cartridge pricing survey data.
** Results based on average annual print volumes compared to leading consumer inkjet printers. Actual results may vary.*** Based on testing by Wilhelm Imaging Research (WIR) using KODAK inks and a full range of KODAK photo and document papers in all common consumer display and storage environments.
**** This printer only accepts inkjet compatible paper types for normal and photo printing

Amazon Verified Purchase
It was recommended to me in a computer shop when my previous printer broke down that I should buy a Kodak printer because the Kodak ink cartridges are so very much cheaper than most other standard printer inks - previously I had had an HP printer and the cost of inks was substantially greater than Kodak.
After ordering through Amazon the printer arrived within 3 days, and within 20 minutes I had it working excellently; printing, scanning, and copying.
Immediately after loading and installing the software from the disc I was asked whether I wished to upgrade the Kodak AiO software. Naturally I clicked - Yes! - but then found myself waiting about 40 minutes whilst the upgrade downloaded and installed. Finally with the upgrade installed everything worked well. However my message is - if you need to use the printer immediately, as I did - download and install the upgrade later when it is convenient to do so.

This printer not only uses very cheap printer ink but the colour quality of photos is excellent. I print a lot of photos and my printer the ESP5 uses very little ink and if you need more Amazon is the place to get it with a combo pack of 1 black and 1 colour for just £13.00.

(What's this?)
Finally, ink refills that cost less than the printer does! It's about time a printer manufacturer broke rank and moved away from the 'razors & blades' business model of the competition. Kodak seem to have partly kept the cost of ink cartridges down by separating the print-heads into a separate unit. There's no indication of how long the print-head unit might last or what it might cost to replace and it could turn out to be the hidden cost of this printer, but at least in the meantime quality prints are actually affordable. Setting up and installing the ESP-3250 is straightforward, thanks to the large-format and well-illustrated handbooks Kodak have included. Compared to the bundled CD software, significantly updated versions of the drivers and printer firmware were available on Kodak's website (for both OSX 10.6 and Windows 7) and both installed without any problems.
On Windows the 'Kodak Home Centre' is a complete integrated solution which allows you to set your own defaults for the device, run maintenance utilities, get help and also serves as a launchpad for the printing and scanning functions, with easy walkthroughs of basic scanning and/or photo-retouching and printing tasks.
On the Mac the Home Centre allows you to change settings, get help and set defaults but does not include direct access to scanning or printing, instead it's well integrated into OSX itself. For example you can initiate and control a scan from within Preview or Image Capture or any other scanner-aware application.
Used as a standalone device, you can make copies of documents or photos or print pictures straight from your camera memory card using the comprehensive onboard controls and the card-reader (which can also transfer pic's to your computer). When your computer's on you can also initiate a scan from the printer itself and the clever (optional) 'auto-detect' feature will find multiple images and save each one as a separate file. The scanner isn't exactly prepress quality but it's pretty good for a combo device in this price range.
The biggest surprise, good and not-so-good, was the print quality. On plain paper the print quality isn't very special, text seems bloated-looking and the printer seems to use far too much ink. It's not particularly fast either unless you print in Draft mode, which uses a lot less ink and might be the best choice if you just need a quick printout for your files. As you might hope with a Kodak device, photo-printing is much better and the results using good quality photo-paper are really excellent. Colour rendition (using Kodaks's inbuilt RGB~CMYK translation) is generally very good, although strong greens tend to get a bit washed out. Printing full colour borderless photo's only seems to take slightly longer than printing a page of plain text and the results are worth waiting for. Using Kodak's own photo paper the prints are also more moisture resistant than some and don't smudge or fingermark as easily - they do look and feel more like photo-lab prints than inkjet prints.
With unimpressive plain-paper performance it's debatable if the ESP-3250 would make the best choice for a home office. But if you need a family printer, suitable for the occasional homework assignment, with the ability to produce really excellent prints of your digital photo's then it could be a great choice - just don't forget the USB 2.0 A/B Cable.
