The Bottom LineFor the price (over $150), the Kodak ESP 5250 didn't perform as well as I hoped. In that price range it competes with some excellent Epson all-in-ones (including the WorkForce 610 and the cheaper NX 515) and even some entry-level Brother...

Unusually high-quality text for an inkjet. Fast photo printing. WiFi. Low claimed cost per page.
Relatively slow for business applications. Only a 100-sheet paper capacity. Photos tend to lose details in light areas.

Otherwise, the Kodak ESP 5250 is in essence the same average quality, slightly slothful machine as its cheaper cousin, the Kodak ESP 3250 All-in-One. It's best for light duty school or home use.Aside from the Wi-Fi, one highlight from the Kodak ESP 52...
Although the Wi-Fi in the Kodak ESP 5250 is tempting, other than that this MFP is an unremarkable device that happens to have very inexpensive inks. While it would fit nicely into a light-duty environment, other models in this price range are faster o...

With the proliferation of online and local photomats that make it easy to print your digital photos, buying a photo printer isn’t the no-brainer it used to be. It’s not always about the lowest cost per print anymore, it’s about convenience, control, an...

Review Date: December 2009 We first reviewed Kodak's pigment-based all-in-one devices in December 2007 after touring the Canal Pond facility in Rochester, N.Y. where the ink and cartridge system was developed. We found the ink system revolutionary, de...
