Win a Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer

Mother's Day 2008 - Giveaway Event

Moms do a lot of printing. There is a lot in our lives that requires printing – photos, schedules, kids’ homework assignments, scrapbook pages… the list goes on.

So we need a good printer. Make it an all-in-one printer that saves us money on printing, and we are really good to go!

When I saw the Kodak EasyShare Printers and their low-cost ink refills featured on Celebrity Apprentice, I thought, “Now, that is a product moms can really appreciate!”

At the time, we were working with Kodak on our giveaway of an EasyShare camera. So, I suggested to Kodak that you all would love an All-in-One Printer giveaway for Mother’s Day. They agreed and here we are!

kodak-esp3.jpgWhen I received the Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer to review, I was more than excited. Printing that is less expensive sounds really good to me!

Setting up the Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer is easy and intuitive and the manual quickly walks the user through it. (Although, because my old printer used a parallel port, I didn’t have any USB printer cables on hand. Since it was 10pm, I had to wait until the next day to buy a USB cable before I could set up the ESP 3.)

Once I got it up and running, I was really impressed with the quality of the prints. I chose a shot with vibrant colors to test the quality of the photo printing and I was shocked with how bright and crisp the photo came out. It was worthy of a scrapbook page for sure!

I love the convenience of having an all-in-one printer that can copy, print and scan. I seem to always need to make copies or scan items. The ESP 3 offers one-touch color copying without a PC. That will be a very handy feature – I won’t have to use my fax machine to make copies anymore. And the high definition CIS scanner is capable of scanning several images at once and automatically saving them as separate files – now that is a cool, time saving feature!

The Kodak ESP 3 All-in-One Printer also comes with image enhancement features which can be great for users who don’t use photo programs like Photoshop to enahce their shots. (I am addicted to editing my shots in Photoshop, but for a quick alternative, these features are cool.)

The Kodak Perfect Touch Technology analyzes the color and tone in an image to create fewer dark shadows, more vibrant colors, and richer details with red eye reduction and color restoration.

The Facial Retouch Feature is a quick way to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and enhance facial features. I usually do these kinds of adjustments in Photoshop, but I can see how this technology would be great when a user either doesn’t have a photo editing program or just wants to quickly enhance their shot.

The entire line of Kodak All-in-One Printers is very affordable. The Kodak ESP 3 retails for $129.00 and the EasyShare line ranges from $109.99 to $199.99. The black ink refills are $9.99 and the color are just $14.99. That is a whole lot easier to handle than the $30 I was spending for my old printer’s refills!

If you and your family need to get a new printer, perhaps hinting for a Kodak All-in-One Printer this Mother’s Day might be a good idea. And if you want to try and win one, we have one to give away!

    I sure could use that Kodak all-in-one printer. I find myself going through HP ink jet cartridges like M&M’s – and they’re expensive! I’m sorry I don’t have anything to link your contest to, but I thought I’d enter your contest anyway. You never know…

    I would absolutely love to win this printer for my mom. She is sort of technologically green and I would love to be able to get her caught up with the times. She could get so much use out of this printer. This is a great giveaway and once again I really hope I win. Thanks.

    I needed a new printer since my Lexmark was about 6 years and I had put it through the ringer. So my son bought me a Kodak ESP 3 for mother day. I am ready to throw it out the window. I hate the noise. The quality of the print is so bad. You can not use shiny photo paper at all. Oh, ya and don’t even try saving money by refilling your on cartidges because the program is set up not to let. SO DO NOT BUY ONE!!! IT IS SO NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!

    Whatever you do – do NOT get this printer. It is the BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK EVER! It ccontinually jams, loses memory, does not notify you that the ink is low, does not interface with Vista (my whole purpose of buying it!), and as for the cost of the ink – well the lower cost is certainly not worth the hassle I have had.
