Kodak Office HERO 6.1 All-in-One Printer

Although Kodak's numbering system suggests that the Kodak Office HERO 6.1 All-in-One Printer ($199.99 direct) is the next step down in Kodak's line from the Kodak HERO 7.1 All-in-One Printer ($179.99 direct, 3.5 stars) that I recently reviewed, it's...

Kodak Office Hero 6.1

The Office Hero 6.1 is Kodak's latest SOHO all-in-one, and includes a duplex scanner. Is this the advantage it appears?

Very low consumable costs, Good quality photo prints, 61cm LCD

Poor quality copies, Maintain layout option doesn’t, No scan/print interleave on collated copies

Kodak Office Hero 6.1 review

Kodak's Hero range of printers give good quality printing, copying and scanning at a low cost per page. The Office Hero 6.1 is no exception.

It’s inexpensive to replace the ink cartridges in the Hero 6.1 and the cost per page is low for a printer in this class. In times like these, when it’s still essential to cut the bottom line, it’s good to find a device that’s economical without...

Kodak Office Hero 6.1 : Kodak Office Hero 6 1

I wondered when I saw a range of MFU items recently why ‘ Hero 6.1' was not in the range. They were all designated "home" products. Here is the exception the ' office ' offering, scan, print, copy and fax all in the one package.

Kodak office hero 6.1 review

A square-cut, wireless, full duplex all-in-one with ADF and low running costs. What's not to like? . Kodak has risen from a latecomer at the all-in-one ball, to...

Full duplex copying as well as print

Duplex pages reduce in size, by around 10-percent

The office hero 6.1 produces good plain paper and photo prints. Remote print is handy, if you need to print from a phone or tablet, but the printer’s main advantage is still low ink costs. The slow print speeds and annoying reduction in duplex page...

Kodak Office Hero 6.1 review

Kodak's Office Hero combines copying, scanning, faxing and printing in an all round package.

Very low running costs; good text print quality and bright, clear photo prints; includes fax machine

Big, bulky and slow

Still, the printer does partly compensate for those slow print speeds by offering very low running costs. Kodak quotes cost-per-page figures of just under 2p for black and white, and 5.5p for colour. Those figures are very competitive – and, in fact,...

Kodak Office Hero 6.1 review

Like the other all-in-one printers in this range, the Office Hero 6.1 looks the business. Styled in moody black with a red trim, it's clear this is the office model from the dedicated matrix of buttons on the front. You can print, scan and copy with a...

Automatic sheet feeder, high quality print results

Physical buttons, small LCD screen

Time will tell if this second printer doesn't die like the first one.

Died within 20 days. Contacted Kodak Support and within 2 days had a new one on my doorstep no charge without any hassle. This printer CANNOT be installed on Windows XP 64. Have it installed on a Win7 and just print via email, etc. from Win XP
