Kodak ESP C315 Ink Cartridges

Kodak C315 Printer Review

The Kodak ESP C315 is designed to fit the photo printing needs of home users who also need the versatility of multifunction scanning and copying capabilities. Speed is not one of this inkjet printer's strong points, printing a maximum of only 6 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 4 pages per minute for color. A number of features make up for its slow speeds, however, from its flexible connectivity to cost-efficient ESP C315 printer ink.

A compact size of 12x6x16 inches and light weight of approximately 11 pounds make this device small enough to share a desktop with a PC. The unit's build is comprised of primarily photo-centric features, including its pop-up LCD for previewing images and slots for supported flash memory like Memory Stick PRO and SD Memory Card that provide direct photo printing. Connectivity expands further to include an ethernet interface for networking and Wi-Fi for wireless printing.

The unit accepts both plain and photo paper, handling a maximum media size of 8.5x11 inches. Due to its media support of only 100 pages at once, the C315 is best used in light-duty homes. The device prints its best output for photos, printing an optimized resolution of 9600 dpi using color Kodak C315 printer ink. Monochrome text documents have an average output with a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using black ESP C315 ink.

The unit uses one tricolor and one black Kodak C315 ink cartridge that have standard yields of 275 pages and 335 pages, respectively. Optional high-capacity replacements offer yields of up to 670 pages for black Kodak C315 ink cartridges and 550 pages for color.

The C315 is an excellent photo printer that doesn't limit itself to images, but goes further to provide users with the ability to scan and copy documents. In addition, this inkjet device offers the convenience of wireless connectivity and high-capacity supplies, but its small capacity will only be suitable for light-duty use.
