High-tech features without the high costs.

Creating a printing revolution takes some innovative thinking. And with over 100 years of Kodak’s Image Science on our side, we’ve created an entire system that finally gives you remarkable quality at an unbeatable price.

 

 
Exclusive Pigmented Inks

Most other guys use dyes, kinda like your clothes. So just like your favorite shirt, your pictures will fade2. Kodak uses proprietary pigment-based inks—so the vivid colors of your pictures and documents will last a lifetime3.

Instant Dry Porous Papers

When you combine our pigmented inks with our porous paper technologies, what you get are KODAK lab-quality photos that dry instantly. Some manufacturers suggest you wait up to 7 days for your prints to dry4. 7 days? That’s a lot of time to reconsider your choice in printers.


 
Fade-Free Freedom

Wilhelm Imaging Research concluded that our unique pigment based inks and photo papers work together to give you photos that last a lifetime2, with no catches. Our competitors suggest you keep your photos under glass and out of the light to prevent fading5. Hope you have good night vision.

Precision Ink Placement

Our thermal inkjet printhead has 3,840 nozzles. Together, they deliver fast, precise, high-density printing. And unlike some of our competitors, the printhead is a part of the printer, not part of the ink cartridge—so you only have to pay for it once.


 
Incredible Ease-of Use

The intuitive design of our printers puts every innovative feature right at your fingertips. And many of our features function automatically—so you can print, copy, and scan with total ease and without worry. It’s highly complex made incredibly simple.


 
Smart Paper Sensing

Our smart paper sensor automatically adjusts the printer settings based on the paper type used. Even better if you use KODAK Paper, the sensor reads the backprint and optimizes settings to deliver the right print time after time. And with the wireless ESP 7 and ESP 9, if you don't have enough paper in the tray for the job, the printer will let you know. Pretty smart alright.


 
Wireless Wonder

You don’t need to be attached to your printer to print anymore. Our ESP 7, ESP 9 and ESP 5250 wireless printers allow you to print KODAK lab-quality photos6 and documents from anywhere in the home or office.

4 When utilizing dye-based inks on swellable photo paper. Based on an independent third party evaluation conducted by SpencerLab March 2007 and Kodak internal comparison studies 2006–2008. Competitive dye-based inks printed on swellable photo papers dry slower in comparison to microporous paper applications.
