Kodak ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printer review: Kodak ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printer

 

Kodak ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printer

The ; manages decent output performance on both speed and image quality.

A fixed-angle display limits its usability in tight spaces.

Despite its remote-printing capabilities, the Kodak ESP 3.2's design blunders and inconsistent performance are unacceptable in the face of competing multifunctions in the sub-$100 category.

Kodak Hero 3.1 All-in-One Printer Review: Bargain Price, Cheap Ink, Great Photos

 

The Kodak Hero 3.1 color inkjet multifunction printer offers a lot of bang for the buck. At only $100 (as of April 2, 2012) this copying/printing/scanning device produces exceptionally nice photos, and its inexpensive inks make it cheaper to operate...

Excellent photo quality ; Inexpensive ink

Slow performance ; Printer monitor software can conflict with driver

For a bargain price, this multifunction printer offers great photo quality and low-cost ink--with just a glitch or two.

ESP 3 ALL-IN-ONE Printer

 

The Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One color inkjet multifunction printer offers a little bit of a lot of things, for a low price. Because it's slow and sparsely featured, however, it's best suited for a light-use, home or student setting.

Inexpensive unit and inks

Limited features and paper handling Slow; plain-paper prints look dull

In our tests the ESP 3 struggled on multiple fronts. Plain-text pages crawled out at a rate of 6 pages per minute (ppm), color graphics at 2 ppm. On plain paper, plain text looked charcoal rather than black, finely drawn, and just a little imprecise;...

Kodak ESP 3 All-In-One Printer

 

The Kodak ESP 3 All-In-One Printer pairs reasonably high-quality output with a low cost per page.

Low claimed running costs. Fast photo print speed. Prints, copies, and scans.

Although it lets you copy files from memory cards and USB keys to a computer, it can't print directly from either.

Kodak ESP 3 review: Kodak ESP 3

 

Kodak ESP 3

Kodak's Home Center Software with autoretouch makes photo editing easy; onboard media card bay; compact footprint.

Unacceptable text and graphics prints; awkward mechanical arm; slower-than-average print speeds; buggy Windows Vista drivers.

The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much...

Kodak ESP 3.2 All-in-One Printer

 

Great photo output, nice documents (at best quality), and inexpensive ink more than compensate for this inkjet MFP's slow and slightly loud operation.

Kodak has one of the friendliest and most colorful installation routines in the business. The software bundle handles scanning, OCR, and even 3D photos; and you can control everything from within a single nicely rendered interface. The ESP 3.2 offers...

Kodak esp 3.2

 

The Kodak ESP 3.2 is a fairly mediocre entry-level printer.

Fair color accuracy; Decent detail performance

CMY cartridges are wasteful; Slow print speed

Overall, the Kodak esp 3.2 is a basic, entry-level multifunction printer that is most at home at the dorm or beside a family computer. With color performance that allows you to print off decent-looking photos quickly, and a good level of detail, the...
