What Reviews say about 'Kodak 5250' ?

Excellent quality

Kodak ESP 5250:CNet

The bottom line: Kodak's ESP 5250 multifunction printer isn't marred by the errors of its predecessors, but it still needs improvement before it can keep up with the competition. Right now, its pleasing photo quality and satisfactory output speed don't justify the $170 price tag and lack of features.

Superlow ink costs.

Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One Printer Printer Review - PCWorld:PCWorld

The 5250's wireless functionality is a nice touch, but the MFP itself is slow and minimally featured otherwise.

fast speed

Kodak ESP 5250 All-In-One Printer:PCMAG

Graphics were easily good enough for any internal business need, including PowerPoint handouts. By today's standards the 5250's speed is best described as tolerable. *

The ESP 5250's scan and copy results were good overall, too.

Kodak ESP 5250 review:pcadvisor

The documentation accompanying the Kodak ESP 5250 is top-notch, and setting up the Wi-Fi connection is quite easy. The ESP 5250's scan and copy results were good overall, too. *

Improved print quality and speed

Kodak ESP 5250:ProductWiki

No fax functionality. *

stylish all-black, all-plastic device

:Computershopper.com

Photo print quality is very good. Images are sharp and contrasty, with good details in both the highlights and shadow areas. Text quality is good, legible down to 3 points. The ESP 5250's single adjustable paper tray folds open and out from the front, and from it the paper-receiver tray and backstop pulls out. Scanning and copying times are slow. *

The ESP 5250 comes with built-in WiFi networking that is easy to configure.

Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One Printer:About.com

For 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 printers like the 255 CW . Photo quality is very good, print quality decent, but it's slow, takes a while to warm up, and had a number of photo-paper-related paper jams. Wireless was a nice option to have, but otherwise I liked the cheaper Kodak 3250 ...

very good image

Epson Artisan 810 All-in-One Printer:About.com

The Epson Artisan 810 is at the high end of all-in-one line; but for the price, it delivers a great value. It prints very quickly and photos in particular come out with startling quality and richness. It's got all the handy bells and whistles you could hope for, from built-in wireless (very easily configured) to automatic duplexing. And the printer's enormous (7.8-inch) and tiltable touchscreen makes it a snap to use. For a little extra money, this printer is truly a best buy.

Good photo prints

Epson Artisan 810 Review:consumersearch.com

Dubious build quality. Built-in fax and duplex printing. *

The printer is very compact.

Review: Epson Artisan 810 All-In-One Photo Printer:Justechn.com

It is especially nice that the printer comes with a full set of standard color ink cartridges and two high capacity black cartridges, this is about $90 (MSRP) worth of ink. The printer is very compact. The Artisan 810 makes the process really easy because it is all built-in. The controls for the Artisan 810 are very unique. I was very happy to see that the fax did not actually dial until all the pages had been scanned into memory. The scanning was quick, taking about 5 seconds per page. *

high quality

Review on Epson Artisan 810:blog.itechtalk.com

What Reviews say about 'Canon MX7600 ' ?

excellent quality prints

Canon Pixma MX7600:CNet

The bottom line: The Canon Pixma MX7600 multifunction is a huge improvement over the previous model. With additional features such as an autoduplexer, increased faxing options, and an upgraded control cockpit, we have no problem recommending the MX7600.

speedy, capable Pixma MX7600

Canon Pixma MX7600 Printer Review - PC World:PCWorld

The quality was consistently high regardless of the kind of paper we used (although on plain paper, color images had a slight orange cast). Scans of text and photos looked slightly fuzzy but otherwise accurate. *

extremely capable multifunction colour inkjet printer

Canon Pixma MX7600 review:pcadvisor

Text output in the middle mode is available at a fast 8.1ppm, and the resulting output here is both clean (especially for an inkjet) and dark. *

poor button layout

Canon PIXMA MX7600:GOODGEARGUIDE

The PIXMA MX7600 has a focus on connectivity and good print quality. Unfortunately, some of the ease of the use that Canon is renowned for has been lost.

clear, good-looking color graphics

Canon Pixma MX7600 All-in-One Printer:About.com

Like other Canon all-in-one printers, this all-in-one printer is a useful and hardworking tool. Print quality is exceptional and it's a real convenience to be able to use plain paper and still get good results. It's a big and heavy piece of machinery and it's certainly priced at the high-end of the all-in-one inkjet market, and I don't think the boost in print quality is enough to make it a much better choice than other Pixmas; but if you want the top-of-the-line quality and don't mind payin...

What Reviews say about 'Brother HL-3070CW' ?

its toner costs are exorbitant.

Brother HL-3070CW Printer Review - PCWorld:PCWorld

Getting wireless connectivity at this price point is a nice bonus, but the HL-3070cw color printer is otherwise slow and sparsely featured.

Print speeds aren't fantastic, but the Brother HL-3070CW colour LED printer produces decent output.

Brother HL-3070CW review:pcadvisor

The reduced height makes it easy to replace consumables; just lift the printer's top cover and slide the toners out. Text quality is very accurate at all font sizes but the printer's fine line quality option makes for better results at 7pt. Print speeds aren't fantastic, but the Brother HL-3070CW colour LED printer produces decent output. *

the tiny, one-line LCD is unreadable from most angles other than near dead-on.

Brother's HL-3070CW color LED printer:macworld

Inserting and removing the toner supplies is very easy, but they don't lock into their bays, which is a bit disconcerting. *

Print speeds aren't fantastic, but the Brother HL-3070CW colour LED printer produces decent output.

Brother HL-3070CW colour LED printer:GOODGEARGUIDE

Extensive connectivity and simple configuration make Brother's HL-3070CW colour LED printer easy to setup and use in a networked environment.

Brother HL-3070CW colour LED printer:PCWorld Australia

The reduced height makes it easy to replace consumables; just lift the printer's top cover and slide the toners out. LED printers like the Brother HL-3070CW are allegedly smaller, cheaper, quieter and more durable than their laser counterparts. Text quality is very accurate at all font sizes but the printer's fine line quality option makes for better results at 7pt.

Brother HL-3070CW Color Digital Printer:About.com

Brother's HL-3070CW is a very good deal--for about $250 it can compete easily with color laser printers. (An LED printer uses LEDs rather than a single laser as a light source.) I found it fast, relatively easy to set up (though wireless could've been a tad simpler), and the output (color and black) excellent. Replacement toner isn't cheap (around $70 per cartridge), but the black cartridges are estimated for 2,200 pages and the color ones for about 1,400 pages, so they should last a long ti...

the colour quality was excellent on plain paper.

Brother Colour Laser HL-3070CW:Gadgetspeak.com

It is 41x47x25cm out of the box and the initial weight without toners installed is around 18 kilos so easy to move into position. *

functional, easy-to-use interactive LCD.

Lexmark Interact S605:CNet

The bottom line: The Lexmark Interact S605 multifunction device prints, scans, copies, and connects wirelessly with a streamlined user experience facilitated by an easy-to-use touch screen and customizable widgets called "SmartSolutions." Built for small businesses and home usage, the Interact S605 stands out in its price range and is well-deserving of our recommendation.

quality was very good, with colors accurately represented and plenty of contrast evident.

Setup is easy: Just insert the setup CD into your PC, and it walks you through everything, from inserting ink to connecting the printer via Wi-Fi. *

otherwise decent image

Lexmark Interact S605 inkjet multifunction:GOODGEARGUIDE

The Lexmark Interact S605 provides plenty of high-tech features like a touch-sensitive control panel, 802.11n Wi-Fi and Web-enabled widgets. However, expensive consumables and poor colour print quality dampen this printer’s appeal.

otherwise decent image

Lexmark Interact S605 inkjet multifunction:PCWorld Australia

The Lexmark Interact S605 is reasonably quick to produce monochrome text documents, and the results are quite accurate. *

decent three-in-one printer

Lexmark S605:About.com

Photo prints looked very good indeed, with sharp, clear colors and images. Print speeds are decent across a wireless network, with a four-page, color-dense PDF taking about 40 seconds, and a four-page Word document averaging 15 seconds per page. Wireless printing was easy to configure thanks to the large touchscreen. *

printscan.about.com

it a genuinely intuitive printer

Lexmark Interact S605:zdnet.com.au

At AU$399, the S605 isn't an entry-level MFP, and it doesn't carry the kind of print or photo speeds we'd expect from a premium unit. On the other hand, the LCD panel works beautifully, and the flexibility of Smart Solutions do give it an edge over a more locked down multifunction device.

capable printer

Lexmark S605 all-in-one printer:Macnn.com

Overall the print quality was good and the print speeds were very fast -- something you can't always say for inkjets. It's hard to ignore: it has Wi-Fi for network sharing, a very bright 4.3-inch touchscreen LCD , PictBridge straight-from-the-camera printing, and a memory card reader. *
