Kodak Releases New Multifunction Inkjet Machines

Kodak are returning to the full-size printer market with three photo-oriented all-in-ones and competitively priced ink.

The three new printers are as listed:

  • $150 EasyShare 5100 All-in-One (Due March)
  • $200 EasyShare 5300 All-in-One (Due March)
  • $300 EasyShare 5500 All-in-One (Due May)

One great thing about these new printers is the price of ink. The cartridges are super affordable, meaning you can print more for less. A full-capacity color cartridge (which will retail for $15) and full-capacity black cartridge ($10 at retail) will be included with each printer.

These look very interesting, it’s great to see Kodak trying to compete once again, and compete is what they will do. These printers with super cheap ink are sure to create a storm when they are released.
