Kodak ESP 7250 All-in-One Printer

For this review I've decided to compare the Kodak ESP 7250 to similarly priced models from Canon, HP and Epson. All 4 models are Wireless All-in-One Ink Jet Printers (printer/scanner/copier).

Basic Summary of the Kodak ESP 7250

- 35 second warm up after powering on.

- Prints nearly instantly. No secondary warm up before each print job.

- Colors are not as bright as the competition, but very natural looking.

- Prints very quietly. Minimal body shake while printing.

- Double sided printing.

- Separate paper tray and photo tray.

- Digital menu on printer is great. Very easy to navigate options. Very intuitive interface.

- Small footprint. Smaller than competition.

- Most attractive design in price range. Smooth lines. Not too techy.

- CHEAP INK. Lower priced manufacturer ink than the competition. VERY BIG PLUS.

My family was lucky enough to get one of these printers to test for a few months. We had to send the test printer back yesterday but I'm putting my own on order today. The print quality and speed are incredible, the printer design is sleek and highly functional and the supplies are cheap compared to the dinky HP deskjet we had been using. I found the Kodak technical support unparalleled, especially compared to HP, and Canon. Kodak even built in a photo help center for photo editing, and printing. I did all 100 Christmas photo cards only with this software, and I used less than one black and one color cartridge. The Wireless function is great; my husband could print from his Windows work laptop and my daughter printed from her Macbook files from her room. We didn't know you could print from an IPOD Touch, but she'll get the free app to print from that. I didn't get paid to write this, but you ought to know what a cool printer it is, (I am not a techie, just a mom)

I received this product through the Amazon Vines Program. I currently have an HP Officejet 7410 All in one and was looking for something that was a bit smaller. The Kodak ESP 7250 really surprised me with the size and ease of setup! From the time I started opening up the box until I had the unit up and running with my wireless network and software installed on my laptop took a total of 33 minutes. Here are the plus features of the unit:

1. Easy to install. The instructions are very straight forward and short. I actually completed most of the setup just by looking at the unit and following the pictures. I only referred to the written instructions PRIOR to powering it up to ensure that I had done verything correctly.

2. Wireless networking was simple and works great! No more need to have your printer located somewhere where cables can be run to connect the printer to the network or to the computer! Loading the software onto the laptop and desktop was...Read more
