Kodak ESP 5
Improved photo quality over previous model ; attractive design ; large 3-inch LCD screen ; easy-to-use Home Center software
Poor quality build with several mechanical errors ; average print speed ; graphics quality still lacks definition
The Kodak ESP5 is an attractive full color all-in-one printer, scanner, and copier, and casual photo enthusiasts will be happy with the watered-down editing software, but hard-core users should look elsewhere for a multifunction printer. The ESP5 is ...

ESP 5
Kodak's ESP 5 All-in-One Printer stands out from other color inkjet multifunction printers because of its significantly cheaper inks. Unfortunately, that's not reason enough to buy this midpriced ($170 as of August 4, 2008) machine, given its slowness ...
Cheap inks; useful software; Nicely designed control panel
Slow; photos have yellowish cast Scans and copies are mediocre quality
The Kodak ESP 5 is a decent machine with very affordable inks, but it is slow. If you print a lot and are patient, the cheaper ink might be a reasonable trade-off
In our tests, the ESP 5 printed at desultory speeds: 6.1 pages per minute for...

Kodak ESP5 multifunction printer
The Kodak ESP5 is the latest multi-function printer from Kodak that offers print, copy and scanning capabilities. The multi-function devices are fast replacing the dedicated photo printers at this price range, and it is easy to see why. These all in ...
So is the print quality acceptable? To the average consumer, me included, the prints output by the ESP 5 are indistinguishable from a four or even a six color printer that employs separate ink cartridges. Sure the experts with their loupes who will ...

"loud , flimsey and disappointing picture quality"
I bought this to replace my old Canon with th...
nice looking , big easy to see display , easy setup , light in weight , small footprint
very loud , single multicolor ink tank , when you run out of one color you throw the whole tank away. Kind of dispels the cheap ink theory. Flimsy plastic case and attachments.
"Super ink. Super jams! It wants to be a paper shredder."
I wish that I had bought another brand.
The cost of operation is far below my former HP printer, if it can survive. Print speed is good too.
This machine can jam more paper than any machine that I've ever seen. It can jam it coming and going. There isn't any feature that makes it easy to access the jam for quick removal. Also the print image isn't square with the paper.
"The printer guzzles ink-so much for cheap ink."
Do yourself a favor go buy another brand name...
Don't bother.
Guzzles ink. Scanner not so great either.
