Pros:
Kodak printers are box-like in structure and designed to sit on a desk or tabletop. Kodak printers vary in structure depending on their included features, but they all have a few key components: a paper tray, control panel, and paper storage bin. Kodak printers are commonly white, black, or silver, but they do come in a variety of other colors. The ESP 7250 is near the top end of the price range for home MFPs, but Kodak clearly hopes to make up for this with the printer's low ink costs of just 4.3p per mixed-colour page. I did not get a printer-setup option (i.e. Turn off double-sided printing.) The solution was to change the default printer setup (Start – Devices & Printers – Kodak 7250 – Printing Preferences right-click to access.) 4×6 photo prints are FAST Overall – pleased at this point.
