Kodak EasyShare 3250 All In One Printer

By Anon. (argos.co.uk) Read the full review

I already owned one of these printers so when I needed a printer for my second computer I purchased the same. Argos proved to be the most convenient for purchasing it.

Best Printer by far

By sandy (argos.co.uk) Read the full review

I found this printer very easy to connect to the computer and use, the disk is straight forward as is the printer itself, and tells you exactly what to do.

Kodak ESP 3250 review

By Jon L Jacobi, (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Kodak ESP 3250 All-in-One colour inkjet multifunction printer is very inexpensive, and it prints superior images on photo paper. Otherwise, it is an average-quality, rather slow machine, appropriate for light-duty school or home use.

The Kodak ESP 3250 will work nicely for anyone who averages perhaps 10 to 25 text pages a day and values photo quality over other printing tasks. Its ink costs can't be beat, but other printers do a better job on a wider variety of media.

Kodak ESP 3250

By Simon Williams (trustedreviews.com)

Kodak gives its entry-level all-in-one printer a light refresh.

It's more of the same, really, with the ESP 3250. There are good and bad elements to this machine, as with the other Kodak ESPs. Print quality is fair, without being spectacular, print speeds are average, though with unrealistic claims and running...

The colour LCD monitor is worth the extra £10 over the cost of the ESP 3, because of the extra convenience when selecting photos to print.

Entry-Level All-in-One : Kodak ESP3250

By mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)

Do you opt for a cheaper inkjet and pay extra for ink cartridges or select a more expensive printer with reduced running costs? Kodak believes the latter is the way to go with kit such as the ESP3250.

Originally released with a £89.99 but now available for £69.99, the ESP 3250 may not be the fastest AiO around but is does produce reasonably output. Replacement cartridges for this AiO are available at £6.99 for black and £11.99 for colour with an...

A bundle of both is priced at £18.98

Kodak ESP 3250

By (fwd.five.tv)

The Kodak ESP 3250 is an all-in-one printer that lets you scan, copy and print. Combined with Kodak's own low-cost pigment ink cartridges it lets you print at a fraction of the cost of many other printers.

Kodak ESP 3250 review

By Martyn Clayden (electricpig.co.uk)

Kodak's been trumpeting the cheap cost of the ink in its all-in-one printers, especially the natty Kodak ESP 3250 . But is that the only reason to buy one? Or is it just marketing guff to get you spending. Check out our Kodak ESP 3250 review and we'll...

Addition of LCD based menu, improved print quality, low ink usage

Removal of USB port and two memory card inputs

For the price this is a well-above average quality all-in-one

Kodak ESP 3250

By Jon L. Jacobi (pcworld.com)

The Kodak ESP 3250 All-in-One color inkjet multifunction printer is very inexpensive ($130 as of January 25, 2010), and it prints superior images on photo paper. Otherwise, it is an average-quality, rather slow machine, appropriate for light-duty...

Excellent photo-paper prints ; Superlow ink costs ; Low purchase price

Slow at printing and copying ; Grainy-looking prints on plain paper ; Meager manual-duplexing help for Mac users

This inexpensive, light-duty MFP excels at printing on photo paper and is easy to use, but its print quality and performance are otherwise unremarkable.

Review: Kodak ESP 3250 multifunction printer

By Jon L. Jacobi, Lynn La (macworld.com)

This inexpensive, light-duty multifunction printer excels at printing on photo paper and is easy to use, but its print quality and performance are otherwise unremarkable.

The ESP 3250’s configuration is modest. The 1.5-inch LCD screen on the top panel is small but legible. Its menus and control buttons are intuitive, as is Kodak’s Home Center printing/copying/scanning software. With many printers popping up with...

KODAK ESP3250 All in One Printer Review

By Bill Kuch (the-gadgeteer.com)

I've never been a fan of the All-in-One concept, believing that it was at best a compromise between flexibility and footprint. I've also been increasingly frustrated with the money I've spent on ink cartridges for my Canon printer. The Kodak ESP3250...

Kodak ESP 3250

By David English (computershopper.com)

Bargain shoppers will be wowed by this model's photo quality, low price, and cheap ink, but they'll face slow performance and subpar prints on plain paper.

Low per-page ink costs; excellent photo quality, longevity; auto-detects paper type

Slow print, copy performance; subpar plain-paper print quality; small LCD screen; no Wi-Fi; single paper-intake slot

If you're on a tight budget and the cost of your inkjet's consumables is a major concern, the Kodak ESP 3250 is well-worth considering, as long you can tolerate its slower speeds and lack of high-end features. The ESP 3250's print and copy quality...

On the other hand, the photo print quality is excellent, and when matched with the inexpensive, long-lasting Kodak inks, this printer is a decent choice for homes where photo quality and cost savings are both important
