Turn it on its side to get the printer out. Two-sided printing is a manual operation, only.īut they are Energy Star certified, unlike the 5000 series, using less than one watt in sleep mode (which displays ink levels and signal strength) and just 4.6 watts in standby. Nor do the ESP printers print on both sides of the sheet. So no film scanning.Īnd while you might expect to, you can't scan to a memory card in the card reader. Oddly enough for a company that is responsible for so many color negatives in the world, the 5250 also does not include a transparency unit. Also missing is a USB port in front (for, say, a PictBridge connection or a Bluetooth adapter). Kodak claims only one percent of the market uses CompactFlash cards so there isn't a CompactFlash slot. Like the $1 (with a smaller LCD and no WiFi), it includes an SD card reader. What's special about the ESP 5250 model is its wireless connectivity and large 2.4-inch LCD, especially appreciated in stand-alone mode. The ink savings are impressive but so are the permanence ratings. Using Kodak's three grades of coded paper and its pigmented four-color inking system, you can make inexpensive but long lasting prints.

The main reason to consider a Kodak device continues to be the ink system. Is the third time the charm? Let's find out. We've been using it to print everything for a couple of weeks now. We didn't get our hands on the second generation Kodak devices, but after a briefing with Kodak's Tom Bentz, the third has arrived at the bunker in the form of the $1. We actually tested two of the 5000 series printers and found both to be seriously flawed, suffering immature firmware that crippled the devices for anything but straight printing and scanning.
