When we chose high-resolution sample pictures taken from top-notch cameras, the images printed out beautifully. Of course, this all depended on the test and image. Once we switched to Kodak’s own Ultra photo paper, however, the same images were on par with or better than the output of other printers we’ve tested. Samples we printed on plain paper were adequate: text came out charcoal rather than black, and images sometimes seemed grainy.

A four-page PDF file, which included text and colored images, took about a minute and a half to finish printing.
Printing out a one-page text document took about 35 seconds, and printing a ten-page document took about two minutes and 58 seconds on average.

While it would fit nicely into a light-duty environment, other models in this price range are faster or better performers on plain paper.Duplexing is manual on the PC, with help from the driver and the front-panel display-but on the Mac, you get zero help aside from Kodak’s support site, where an awkward workaround is documented in detail.ĭuring our performance tests, the ESP 3250 performed slowly for the most part, outputting just 4.4 pages per minute printing text, and 2.5 ppm printing graphics. Though 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. Offsetting those low ink costs somewhat, however, is the need to buy special paper to get the best results. A page with all four colours costs a mere 9.1 cents.
The colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta, yellow, and photo-black inks, as well as a clear protective coating. Included in the box are standard-size supplies: a 442-page black cartridge that costs $10 to replace (2.3 cents per page) and a 219-page, unified, five-colour cartridge that costs $15 to replace (6.8 cents per page). The ESP 5250’s ink costs are the lowest in the industry.
The ESP 5250’s scan and copy results were good overall, too. However, using Kodak’s own photo paper, the same images dazzled–rivaling or surpassing output from the Canon Pixma MP560 and the HP (Nasdaq: HPQ) Photosmart Plus, depending on the test. Plain-paper prints were adequate: Text seemed charcoal rather than black, and images appeared slightly grainy. In PCWorld Labs tests, the ESP 5250 was only slightly faster than the ESP 3250, generating 4.7 pages per minute printing text, and 2.7 ppm printing graphics. The documentation accompanying the ESP 5250 is top-notch, and setting up the Wi-Fi connection is quite easy: The unit presents you with a list of available networks, and you just select one and enter the password. Setting the scan area got tricky when the borders were close to the unit’s maximum 11.5-by-8.5-inch area, requiring more zooming and scrolling. The scanner lid hinges are not double-jointed, so thicker media is harder to scan. The prop arm for the scanner unit seemed wiggly at the joint.

The driver and the LCD walk you through manual duplexing on the PC but for the Mac, you’ll find just a klunky workaround documented on Kodak’s support site. A single media slot takes MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, and SD Card.
Its single, 100-sheet front input tray also catches up to 50 sheets of output, right on top of unused sheets–a common, but clumsy, design among low-cost models. Other than that, the ESP 5250 is a sparsely featured machine. And in the back of the machine is a roller insert that helps you clear paper jams (though we experienced none). It’s best for light-duty school or home use.Īside from the Wi-Fi, one highlight from the ESP 5250’s feature set is the 2.4-inch, tilt-able colour LCD, whose menus are as intuitive as the navigation buttons that work with it. Otherwise, it’s essentially the same average-quality, slightly slothful machine as its $20-cheaper cousin, the Kodak ESP 3250 all-in-one. 5, 2010) and includes Wi-Fi connectivity–a nice feature to have at this price point. The Kodak ESP 5250 all-in-one colour inkjet multi-function printer costs only $150 (as of Feb.
