Kodak All-In-One Printers are designed to be easy to setup and control.

Double-sided printing

With double sided printing you can save money, reduce your paper consumption and help the environment in the process – all without compromising on print quality.

Smart sensor technology

Loading paper into the printer couldn’t be simpler thanks to the rear feed paper tray, holding 100 sheets of document paper or 20 sheets of photo paper for continuous, worry-free printing. There is even an intelligent paper sensor which automatically adjusts printer settings based on paper type, so you get the right print the first time.

Kodak printing technology.

High-quality photos and documents with KODACOLOR technology

KODACOLOR technology is a revolutionary technology that combines a high nozzle density printhead and pigmented inks with precision dual drop placement. Together with our instant dry papers and high speed print system you get brilliant, crisp documents and vivid photos that last a lifetime. And all this for up to 50% less than other inkjet systems*.

At its most basic, a print is literally ink on paper. Our thermal inkjet printhead has 3,840 nozzles. All those nozzles deliver fast, precise, high-density printing. Plus, our printhead is a permanent part of the printer. Not part of the ink cartridge, like most other inkjets. So not only do you have a precisely tuned system—and quality prints—you only have to pay for it once.

What makes it all work? Over a hundred years of Kodak image science. This includes advanced color management for a wider color gamut, real-life tones, and brilliant colors. It includes algorithms in the printer and in the All-In-One Printer software. All of this combines to give you crisp, clear documents and Kodak lab-quality prints at home.

The only printer ink triple 5 star rated for print quality

Most consumer inkjet printers use dyes, but Kodak printers use patented pigment-based inks that deliver incredible print quality, ‘best-in-class’ print permanence of 120+ years** and prints that dry instantly.

In the latest Which Test Lab report on printer ink (July 2011) Kodak was the only printer ink awarded five out of five star ratings in all three categories for print quality; text print quality, photo print quality and water resistance. The same Which report highlighted Kodak as the lowest cost printer ink of any printer manufacturer on test.

The Kodak Hero 5.1 All-In-One Printer works with our expanded line of Kodak pigment-based 30 Series Inks. Featuring patented pigmented-ink, ensures Kodak lab-quality photos and documents that last a lifetime, ideal for everyday printing. Print crisp, sharp, black and colour documents thanks to instant drying which resist smudges and smears. Kodak offers a range of ink cartridges that suit the way you print.

Fed up with expensive printer ink?

When you buy a printer, price will often be a major factor. But with expensive replacement ink cartridges, the total cost is not always clear – and high running costs can come as a bit of a shock later on. Kodak All-In-One Printers are different. You pay a little more for the printer but much less for the ink so now you can afford to print as much as you like.

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.

Introducing 3D photo printing from Kodak

The first 3D photo printing experience among leading consumer inkjet printers. All it takes is a few simple steps to create stunning 3D pictures that leap off the paper. Create 3D pictures at home... it's easy.

All you need is your digital camera, a Kodak All-In-One Printer, and Kodak Home Center Software, (version 6.2 or higher).

• Select a subject that has little motion— portraits, and landscapes work best.
• Take one picture. Within 20 seconds, move the camera 3 in. (75mm) to the right without changing the camera angle, and take a second picture.
• Save the pictures to your computer and use Home Center Software to create and print 3D pictures—simply follow the on-screen instructions.
• View your prints with the special Kodak 3D glasses.

Print from social networks

This software enables consumers to manage and print their photos, including those on social media sites such as Kodak Gallery, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and Photobucket, all from one location. What’s great about this is that you still have all of the same editing and cropping abilities with these images as you do with your native ones.

Print from video

Another great new feature of the new software is the inclusion of Printing pictures from video. You are now able to extract a still image from a video using the software then print directly to your Kodak printer. You can print pictures from AVI, MOV, and MP4 videos.
