Printing text documents or graphics is excellent though, text looking very "laser-like" and graphics packing a colour punch.Ĭopy quality left something to be desired as copied images are copied with blocky looking darker areas, such as shadows. However, print quality on other, lesser, photo papers drops quickly and even the Premium Photo paper prints with distracting visible dots, akin to blotchy white coloured noise, within the plain paper prints. At this point it would alert you to the incorrect paper selection and abort the print process spitting the paper out untouched. One frustration of that Dot Replacement mode is where I could select to use the Dot Replacement technology, even with the incorrect paper setting (borderless) and it is only as the paper was fed into the printer that the error was picked up by the machine’s paper sensors and print driver. However, print quality on the better quality papers is superb, Dot Replacement or not, but it’s a shame you cannot access this setting for borderless prints. Kodak’s Ultra Premium Photo Paper being the best quality paper for best photo prints but you can “force” the printer to use the higher quality settings, though more ink will be used and it may not provide the best result depending on the exact media types.Īs with other ESPs in the range, Kodak’s Dot Replacement print mode allows for better quality output on specific paper types, that is providing you don’t want to print borderless, as disappointingly and like the other ESPs, Dot Replacement does not support borderless printing.

This makes the machine undoubtedly easy to use for the less technical minded users out there, but you do have manual controls over print quality too, within the printer’s advanced driver options.

The ESP 5250’s supplied software drivers are simple enough to follow, the print dialogues for the printer are easy to understand and the 5250 can automatically select the print quality depending on the paper type used. The direct print control panel is simply laid out and the menus are clear and easy to follow on the colour screen allowing copying, printing and scanning as a standalone device, or you can control the device from your computer. Almost as easy as connecting via the USB connection, and like the other ESPs I’ve tested in the range, this makes for a refreshing change.

The software’s easy to install (I tested the printer on my G5 Intel Mac laptop) and once up and running, connecting to my Wi-Fi network proved a simple case of selecting the connection method on the 5250’s colour screen, entering the password and that was it.
Once in place, the 5250 primes the ink and will print an automatic head alignment sheet. The print head and dual, single black and combined five-colour pigment based inks slot home easily into a removable print head carriage, which sits beneath the scanner/copier platen. Paper guides can be moved to adjust for paper of varying sizes easily, though if you put photo paper on top of plain paper, the 5250 had a tendency to drag in the plain paper along with the photo paper, which is very frustrating indeed, so only one type of paper at a time. The 100-sheet paper feed tray sits in the front of the device, so paper must be loaded upside down it is fed into and back out on top of the unprinted, waiting paper. The 5250 is a neat and compact, black liveried device featuring a nice 2.4-inch LCD screen and a large, clearly buttoned control panel graces the top. It also continues Kodak’s policy of charging that little bit more for the machine and less for the ink, with Kodak claiming the overall cost of ownership, over a year, can enable a saving on ink of around £75. The ESP 5250 sits between Kodak’s ESP 5 and ESP 7 all-in-one models, in the range. (Pocket-lint) - Kodak’s latest all in one printer, copier and scanner is a compact, attractive looking, machine that combines a scanner, copier and photo quality printer combining low ink costs with good photo output and nice scans if you just need relatively small sized scans of your flat originals.
