Save a fortune on printer ink

On the 27th August I posted a buying guide on buying a new printer.  To see the post click here.

The report shows that the new all-in-one printers from Kodak will save you a fortune on ink compared to rivals such as Epson, HP and Lexmark.  A full set of cartridges for the Kodak machines are less than £19.  Furthermore, the Kodaks use a pigment ink system which will give excellent photographic quality prints.  This technology is usually only found on more expensive models.

The two main models are the ESP 3250 (£80) and ESP 5250 (£100).   The main difference between the two is that the ESP 5250 features WiFi which enables multiple PCs to share the printer wirelessly.

Both printers are available at your local independent photographic retailer.  The ESP 3250 can be viewed here and the ESP 5250 here.
