For consumers who are looking for a multifunction printer for home use, the Kodak ESP 7250 is one of the most ideal units with its relatively affordable price (around $200) and low-cost inks.
The good thing about this printer is that it’s easy to use because of its practical control panel which includes a 2.4-inch colored-LCD and a four-way rocker button to navigate the screen. In addition, the buttons in the panel are clearly labeled that makes it easy even for tech-dummy to use.
Another notable feature is the driver’s photo enhancement features that allow users to improve the image colors. The photo printing technology also includes Kodak’s Pic Flick application for printing photos from iPhone and iPod Touch. However, the photo input tray can only hold 40 sheets of paper—a deal breaker if this printer will be used for a business.
Meanwhile, the printer’s photo speed is relatively faster: about 1.8 print per minute. And when it comes to quality, the result is great but only if a person uses Kodak’s own special paper—but on plain paper, the same image would look yellowish and grainy.
One of the most notable features of this device is its ability to print on both sides of the paper (except photo paper) that will save a lot of time. Despite this impressive feature, there are two drawbacks which must be mentioned: the main paper tray can only hold 100 sheets and the printing speed is slower compared to most multifunction printers in the market today.
When tested, the ESP 7250 can print text with a speed of 4.6 pages per minute on PC and 3.6 on Mac. And regarding its quality, the text looks more like dark gray rather than plain black.
The scan of this printer is good when the image has a monochromatic color. However, this is not the case if the image has vivid colors since the result usually ends up appearing blotty.
Overall, the features of ESP 7250 are quite acceptable for home use, but not for professional and business purpose.
