4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Budget All-in-One Printer, November 5, 2009

By 

Kristal (MN) - See all my reviews

I've always purchased cheap printers and this is definitely one of the better budget printers I've used. The print quality is excellent and surprisingly fast. If you use photo paper, the quality is on par with Wal-greens for having digital photos printed.

It's also quite easy to use. It took me about 5 minutes to set it up/install all software. The scan/copy controls on top of the printer are really easy to figure out. The SD/HC, MS, MMC card slot is also a great feature. You can just pop in your camera or cell phone's memory card and print without a computer. This feature works great.

The primary reason why I bought this printer was it has some of the cheapest ink on the market. $10 for black ink and $15 for color ink!

The only con is that the scan quality is not that great. I tried scanning in photos and there are faint white lines in the photo file and it is definitely more grainy than the original photo. I would not recommend this printer if you're planning to use it primarily for the scanning photo feature. However I will say that I have never had/used a personal scanner with really good photo scanning capabilities (so this is about average).

In summary, I bought this printer at Wal-mart for $99 and I have no complaints for the price although better photo scanning would have made the printer 5-star worthy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your $ this printer is junk!, April 19, 2010

This review is from: Kodak EasyShare ESP3250 Multifunction Printer Color, Inkjet - 30 ppm Mono - 29 ppm Color - 29 Second Photo - Copier, Printer, Scanner - USB - PC, Mac (Electronics)

My frugal spouse encouraged me to buy this printer believing the ad hype that tells us it will save us on ink costs. Weary of the constant HP "low ink" pop ups I relented and purchased the Kodak all-in-one. This printer has all the undesirable qualities other reviewers have described and more. It is painfully slow, anoyingly loud, the ink has to be replacesd at least as often as any HP I've used and what's worse is it refuses to print after IT thinks the ink is low. I worked for Kodak for 35 years and I know they would never accept such a product from a vendor. They should be ashamed of themselves for putting such junk on the market. This is not your father's Kodak product.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, October 29, 2009

By 

Ramon Reyes "Have faith, will travel" (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

Doesn't suck up ink! Also, incredibly cheap black and color cartridges. B-E-A-utiful prints - crisp colors on photo paper, and fast printing to boot. Go figure - a great buy from a company that spent years doing camera film and photos.

If you are a small business owner or looking to replace a current family printer, GIVE THIS A SHOT!
