Kodak, with its ESP series of printers, has aimed to make a reputation in the market of all-in-one printers. The ESP series of Kodak printers are an amalgamation of versatility, speed, and high quality output. The Kodak ESP 7 can be called the baby brother of the ESP 9 printer of the same series. The printer has a jet black finish and an excellent overall design. This device is extremely well suited for typical home or office setups. You get access to on-board controls through the mighty 3-inch colour LCD display. You can configure the printer to work in the wired mode as well as wireless mode. The process of setting up the printer is extremely easy and you will be able to do the same in a few minutes.
Kodak provides its AIO software along with the device to provide you direct access to scanning, copying, printing and configuration settings. You can do all this without the software as well via accessing the controls on the device. The main control on the device consists of a directional pad, and main buttons like start, cancel and menu buttons. A zoom control option on the device lets you scan images displayed on the screen when you insert a memory card into the multi-format slot. You can also insert a camera via the USB port and print directly without using a computer. The enhanced efficiency feature of the ESP 7 makes its cartridges last 50 percent longer. A dedicated ‘intelligent paper tray system’, in addition to monitoring the number of sheets in the try, automatically detects the type of paper used by you and adjusts its settings accordingly for optimal performance.
The performance of the device is up to 32ppm for black and white prints. The same is 30ppm for colour prints. The print quality is excellent with sharp, crisp colors without the presence of any type of color bleed. The ESP 7 is also capable of printing 6×4-inch images. The replacement cartridges of the device cost only £6.99/£9.99 for mono/colour respectively. The ESP 7 is available at a price of £244.67 inclusive of VAT. All in all, the Kodak ESP 7 is an all-rounder that mixes style with performance in a wonderful way.
