Kodak ESP5: ink jet printer
The Kodak ESP5 printer has the same simple black design as the ESP3, its cheaper cousin that lacks the LCD screen. The perforated scanner cover adds an elegant touch to the printer. This ink jet printer measures 6.9 inches tall by 16.6 inches wide by 11.8 inches deep. The majority of the printer is made of a light plastic that gives the device a flimsy and delicate feel. A thin plastic arm pops up and braces the cover, similar to the hood of a car. The printer industry has slowly started to steer more toward photo printers with five individual color ink cartridges for less waste, but the ESP5 still retains the standard-size ink cartridge bay: one for black and one for five different colors. The Kodak website reports 10 cents per color photo, a relatively decent price for the average inkjet printer. …continue reading Kodak ESP5: ink jet printer

Should you go with laser cartridge printer or inkjet printer?
Laser printers have a number of advantages over the rival inkjet technology. They produce much better quality black text documents than inkjets, and they tend to be designed more for the long haul – that is, they turn out more pages per month at a lower cost per page than inkjets. So, if it’s an office workhorse that’s required, the laser printer may be the best option. Another factor of importance to both the home and business user is the handling of envelopes, card and other non-regular media, where lasers once again have the edge over inkjets. …continue reading Should you go with laser cartridge printer or inkjet printer?
