Meets my needs perfectly
In my home network I have 3 pc's (wired) and 2 laptops (wireless) all connected by a Linksys router. Two of the pc's are for my kids who print out stuff for school and work. Before I bought this printer I had an older HP inkjet connected to my primary desktop (mine). So here is my Kodak printer review. Whenever someone needed to print anything my computer had to be turned on first. Rather annoying. Not anymore! This Kodak printer so far has been fantastic. The full size instruction manual (no cheap photocopied sheet of paper) explained the whole process from opening the box to connecting it to your network wirelessly. With step by step illustrations that were easy to follow. Within minutes it was up and running perfectly having automatically detected my network SSID and connecting when I typed in my security passphrase on its built in keypad. What I like: Easy installation. Nice print results. I haven't printed any photos yet so I don't know how they look. To continue my Kodak printer review Included in the box are 3 sample sheets of 4x6 photo paper so I'll have to try it. It's totally wireless, so I placed in in an armoire centrally located in my home so it is accessible to everyone. The unit can be left on and after a selectable period of inactivity it powers down in energy saving mode. You don't need to turn it back on at all or wake it up. It automatically connects and prints when when a request is sent. Very nice feature. Also, it uses a separate printhead independent of the ink cartridges. I guess this way it ends up cheaper to buy ink because the printhead is not part of the cartridge itself. It comes with a nice comprehensive software package which completed the installation process flawlessly. What I didn't like: It is a tad loud but nothing I can't deal with. When inputing a passphrase via the keypad it defaults to uppercase. After a few minutes of trying unsuccesfully at first to connect to my network I realized that I needed to switch to lowercase. A press of a button switched me to lowercase and bingo! passphrase accepted. When you first open the box it appears that part of the AC adapter is missing. It is actually packed underneath the printer where you can't see it. To finish my Kodak printer review, all in all I'm very pleased with this printer and highly recommend it. Ink cartridges seem to be a lot cheaper that most others too. Time will tell but I'm very satisifed so far.
Wonderful Printer! Kodak got it right with the ESP-5
I am thoroughly impressed with the ESP-5. I was foaming at the mouth when Kodak came out with their first line of "All in One" 5300 series printers, but after having read many marginal reviews I decided to pass and fight it out with my Lexmark X7350 until the next Kodak generation arrived. I'm glad I waited and put shortly... Kodak has ARRIVED! So here comes my Kodak printer review. The Kodak ESP-5 prints great looking full frame 4x6 and 5x7 lab quality prints. The sheet feeder is both reliable and accurate. I print a lot of labels and reproducible alignment is important. The ESP-5 does a wonderful job in terms of reproducibility and color quality. The blank paper feed on my Lexmark is unreliable at BEST! The Kodak printer review I have done showed it has been 100% in terms of mechanical reliability. Color rendition is basically "WYSIWYG" when compared to a calibrated monitor. The scanner works reliably and produces great resolution scans with accurate tonal quality. I am also thoroughly impressed with the Kodak Perfect Touch technology software included in the Kodak Home Center. The enhancements such as color restoration and sharpening work fantastic. Please look at the Humming bird picture that I took and enhanced with the included Kodak Home Center. And last but not least is the cost of the refill cartridges. Thank goodness I'll no longer have to run down and buy another expensive Lexmark or HP ink cartridge. Kodak has a great product with a great marketing strategy... i.e. Sell a decent printer with reasonably priced inks, unlike Lexmark and HP who basically give you the printer for $40 and make their $$$$ on overpriced ink that they purposely engineer so that you can't refill and reuse them. (I still can't grasp Lexmark's and HP's "One Use" License concept...) Simply put. As soon as you use up that last expensive Lexmark or HP ink cartridge either recycle your old printer or put it in the nearest dumpster and run and buy yourself the Kodak ESP-5! Footnote 1: I downloaded the latest Kodak Home Center software and ESP-5 firmware upgrade before I printed my first page, so I can't attest to the original software version that came in the box. Seems like all manufacturers always have an upgraded version waiting on their website. This approach worked flawlessly for me, so I'd suggest you do the same. Footnote 2: I'm running Windows XP (latest service pack) and have had no software problems. Footnote 3: I am in no way associated with Kodak, Lexmark or HP. Just trying to provide an honest unbiased review based on my experiences. Footnote 4: The ESP-5 came with an USB cable and bonus Print Artist software. Printing directly from the SD memory card slot works great. I hope you liked my Kodak printer review.
Better than HP Wireless
I recently purchased my first Kodak printer. When asked for a Kodak printer review, I really like to participate, because: Easy setup, flawless wireless use, and prints quickly, etc.
I've used HP wireless...and maybe it was just the model I had, but it would go to sleep and never wake up.
I would have to get up and go into the office and reboot it every day.
The Kodak, so far, is working flawlessly. I would reccommend it to all.
