Kodak ESP-3 Reviews

After very much research and reading reviews, I bought the Kodak ESP-3 printer because it was a little less expensive than the other printers and the ink was very inexpensive.  I have only heard good things about Kodak products so I figured I would take a shot at this printer.  After only having it 6 months, the printer will work - it will not print at all!  I put brand new ink cartridges in it thinking it was the ink that had gone bad.  However, even after the new ink was put in, the black ink will not work. It seems like the ink compartment on the printer dried out or something. The color...

I purchased a Kodak ESP-3 All-In-One printer.  The reason I purchased it was because of the cost of my ink for my previous printer ($75).  I decided to purchase the Kodak because of the ink replacement cost ($25).  I have not had any trouble out of this printer.  The quality is great, including pictures.

I recently bought this printer because my old one was completely out of ink.  Since Kodak advertises how cheap their ink is, I looked at the store to compare.  The price to replace my ink for the old printer was almost as much to buy a new Kodak printer.  It was $89.99.  Figuring cost savings in the future with ink, I purchased it.  It is the absolute worse printer I've ever owned.  It takes nearly a minute to print a simple page.  If you have anything that requires a lot of printing be prepared to sit there for a very long time waiting for it.  The qualiy of the ink isn't any better. ...

  I started dealing with home printers from the curios corner of the confused, my first encounter, it is out of kindness that I leave the name of that money pit unprinted, left me nearly printer-phobic. I have loved taking pictures and entering them in our local fair, just as a lark, not really expecting any great reviews of my eye of the world, I have humbly found that the judges really like my photos. I have about a 90% blue ribbon reputation going now and am really loving the whole thought of someday becoming a famous photographer, come on now, it is O.K. to dream!

  I spent about two years...

I was sucked in by a great ad online.  In the ad they showed a pile of pages that you could expect some other brand of printer to print on average with their ink cartridges.  Then they showed a much, much larger pile that the Kodak Esp3 printer would print with their ink cartridges.  Now, this pile looked to be atleast three times larger.  To further impress consumers they offer their ink at a much reduced price compared to other brands.  However, what they advertised and what I got were two different things.  I can't believe they got away with that.  Yes, the ink's cheaper.  NO!  It does...

The Kodak ESP-3 printer is an awesome printer. The cost is a fraction of a regular printer. Prints beautiful pictures.

The Kodak ESP-3 printer

  Kodak has done a fantastic job in building a user friendly printer for home use. This printer is easy to use and it does a fantastic job

 I've had my printer for about a year now and I have  had no problems at all with it. like all printers priodically it will have a paper jam (not very often at all). All you have to do is remove the feed roller assembly from the back of the unit and the paper comes right out.

picture quality is very good, but always use the premium paper. You can get a package of 120 4x6 sheets and a color ink cartridge for about $15.00

The Kodak ESP-3 printer is a great printer to have for someone that wants a all in one printer that also does pictures.  This printer allows you to use your camera cards directly in the printer to print pictures or to upload to your computer.  It was easy to install and instructions were easy to follow.  It is alittle more nosier when printing than some I have had, but that is the only thing that I can say that I have found while using the printer.  This is really such a small thing I don't really consider it a problem.  The ink is so much cheaper than any other printer I have had or even...

The Kodak ESP-3 printer is a good bet if you just need cheap printing and aren't looking to impress anyone with it.  I use it at college because the black ink cartridges are only $10, and obviously my professors aren't too concerned with the quality of the print job.  They just want a legible paper to read.

The printer itself tends to be a tad slow.  The Kodak software that comes with it is awful.  The other main problem with this printer is that it will misfeed if there are only a few sheets of paper left in the tray.

This printer is not supported for Linux users.  Mac & Windows only, unfortunately....
