Kodak ESP 9250 Ink Cartridges

Kodak 9250 Printer Review

Finding a versatile machine that will look stylish in the house but handle the varying needs of a work day is hard to find, but look no further than the Kodak ESP 9250. It is easy on the eyes and the budget whilst combining a scanner, printer, copier, and fax machine into one compact, 20-pound device. Mac and Windows users will be able to connect to the 9250, but a computer is not even necessary for most tasks, as this inkjet unit offers mobile printing, memory card slots, and a PictBridge connection for digital cameras.

All three alternative functions can be accessed right on the 9250's control panel. The fax function operates with a 33.6 Kbps transmission speed, allowing faxes to be received in less than 3 seconds. It also has a fax memory of 100 pages, so it can store incoming faxes when the machine is already in use or turned off. The scanner includes a flatbed platen, or users have the option of an automatic document feeder to scan documents. This is also how copies are made. Up to 99 duplicates can be made at a time, with zoom options ranging from 25%-500% of the original size and at a rate of 26-27 copies per minute. When printing, the speed increases to 30-32 pages per minute.

Cyan, magenta, and yellow printer ink is held in the tricolor Kodak 9250 ink cartridge, which can yield up to 420 pages. As many as 425 pages can be produced per black ESP 9250 ink cartridge. Though these yields are on the lower side, some online vendors offer compatible ESP 9250 ink to reduce operational costs.

Two paper trays are present, one that holds up to 100 sheets of plain paper and one that can hold as many as 40 pieces of 4x6-inch photo paper. Kodak's EasyShare feature provides users with simple templates to aid in creative projects, and the 2.4-inch color LCD allows them to preview images loaded from cards, cameras, or mobile devices. This display also alerts users when the ESP 9250 printer ink is running low.

Equipped to handle photo and document printing in the home, the 9250 inkjet printer is one the most versatile units in its price range. Offices will be limited by its paper capacity, but home users will find the machine to be a great fit. The Kodak 9250 ink provides amazing quality and previous users have referred to this unit as very reliable.
