Great affordable printer
By Lincoln
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.

Kodak ESP 7250 vs:

1) Canon PIXMA MX870

- Kodak is quieter, prints faster, looks better.
- Canon has slightly better print quality - not much better though. Most people won't notice the difference.
- Canon is louder while printing, shakes a lot, and takes longer to warm up and print.
- Canon has more buttons. Kodak has a better menu system.

CONCLUSION: Canon is more business. Kodak is more family.

2) HP Photosmart Premium

- HP's touch screen menu is awesome.
- Both have similar print quality. HP produces a bit brighter colors. Kodak is more natural looking (muted colors).
- HP warms up a bit faster by a few seconds.
- Both print with equal speed, equal noise and equal printer shake (almost none).
- Nearly equal footprint.
- Both are visually attractive designs.
- HP ink is more expensive.

CONCLUSION: Very similar printers. HP's touch screen is awesome. Kodak ink is more affordable.

3) Epson Artisan

- Epson's 5-ink system prints amazing! Best in class.
- Epson ink is expensive.
- Kodak printer is more visually attractive.
- Kodak prints faster.
- Kodak has a better menu system.

CONCLUSION: Epson prints awesome photos. Kodak is a more economical all-around printer.

In the land of printers, there are those who print amazing photos (like the Epson), those that are super techy (like HP's touch screen), those that are work horses (Canon) and those that are just good, middle of the road, some bells but no whistles printers. The Kodak ESP 7250 is one of these middle of the road printers. The photo print quality is good, but not fantastic. But everywhere else the Kodak is a solid performer, having all the features a printer should have while looking good and staying quiet. What sets this printer above the rest is the low cost of printing.

So if you aren't super picky about your photos and you want to save some money in the long run, while still getting a solid printer, then the Kodak ESP 7250 is the way to go.

Fabulous printer we can't live without
By Susan H. Reynolds
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)

All in one Printer
By Ralph Furlong
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 quick and it immediately located and installed the drivers for the printer on the wireless network.

3. Size is much smaller than the HP 7410 printer, though the HP includes a Fax (something that this all in one does not) and the HP also has a sheet feeder (something that the Kodak unit also does not have). Still, it is about half the size which helps to locate the unit in smaller locations.

4. There is a seperate photo paper slot that handles either 4X6 or 5X8 photo paper. This is seperate from the regular paper tray and you can have both loaded at the same time. A selection on the printer software tells the printer which paper to draw upon.

5. Scanning surface works very well and I feel is a bit better in quality than the HP.

6. The included software for working with your pictures is simple and does a nice job in the printing of pictures. I was very pleased with each of the pictures that printed and they were dry and ready to use as soon as they came off the printer. No smudging or running ink!!

Surprises with the Printer:

The only surprise was that as soon as I loaded the software onto my laptop, it found that there was an update to the firmware for the printer. Since this is a brand new model, that did surprise me. However, the laptop was able to download and install the firmware update for the printer over the wireless network quickly and everything worked fine the first time through.

Negatives:

1. As with any ink printer, this is not the quietest unit in the world. The unit does vibrate and make noise as it aligns itself and as it prints. So, insure that you put it onto a stable surface!!

2. Although it says that it is an all in one printer, it does not support Fax!! Yes, that is a dying feature, but it is still one in use.

3. No feeder tray does make it a bit less usefull if you are trying to copy several pages at once. However, the included two sided capablity does at least ensure that you are able to use both sides of the paper automatically if you so desire.

All in all, I am very pleased with this printer and it will be replacing my HP All in One.
