Kodak 1.2 Printer Review

The Kodak ESP 1.2 is a basic all-in-one inkjet printer that can tackle scanning, copying, and printing at a very low price. Its touchscreen display makes it very easy to use, and it can output up to 8 images per minute in black and 4.5 images per minute in color. Multiple quality settings can help save on Kodak 1.2 printer ink as well.

The 1.2 lacks the automatic document feeder of the similar 2.2 model, but most home users probably won't miss it. It still includes a flatbed scanning surface that can handle media up to 8.5x11 inches in size. The unit can make up to 99 copies from an original, and users can make standalone copies without the need for a computer. A 1.5-inch touchscreen display makes to easy to use, and also helps users preview images before printing.

The 1.2 is generally quite compact. It measures 6.7x16.9x12.6 inches when folded up, so it easy to store. It also weighs only 12.7 pounds, including the ESP 1.2 printer ink, the printhead, and the power supply. In addition to the USB port for connecting it to a computer, the device also supports Wi-Fi for easy sharing among multiple computers.

The inkjet system uses both a combined color supply and a single black Kodak 1.2 ink cartridge. Those who find the standard supplies to have disappointing yields will appreciate the high-capacity ESP 1.2 ink cartridges, which can last for around 670 pages in black and 550 pages for color. By using compatible Kodak 1.2 ink instead of OEM supplies, users can trim their costs even lower.

For buyers who don't mind the lack of an automatic document feeder, the Kodak 1.2 is a solid choice for basic home use. The addition of wireless support is surprising for such a low price, which makes it an excellent buy for budget shoppers.
