Kodak 4.2 Printer Review

The Kodak Hero 4.2 is an all-in-one inkjet printer designed for affordability, and it shows. Even with its affordable price tag, the unit still offers advanced features like a touchscreen display, duplex printing, and a document feeder. It can even print a 4x6-inch photo in as little as 38 seconds. The savings also extends to inexpensive Kodak 4.2 printer ink supplies.

The design of the 4.2 isn't quite as compact as some similar models, but most buyers probably won't care. It includes a number of great connection options including a USB port, Wi-Fi, and both a front-mounted USB port and memory card slots for PC-free printing. Although the 2.4-inch touchscreen display is small, it does an adequate job at helping users edit and improve their photos before printing.

Integration with web services and mobile devices opens up a lot of options for users, with support for Google Cloud Print and mobile printing via the Kodak Pic Flick HD app. Users can simply flick a photo in the direction of the printer to have it start printing. Of course, users will have to be careful of wasting Hero 4.2 printer ink on any unintentional flicks.

With affordable Kodak 4.2 ink cartridges, the company continues the commitment to inexpensive printing. If the low yield of the standard supplies is too small, high capacity Hero 4.2 ink cartridges are also available, keeping the cost per page lower. Third-party sellers also offer compatible Kodak 4.2 ink at lower prices than OEM supplies.

The 4.2 has an impressive design that includes an impressive array of features given its low price tag. Lack of a few advanced features like AirPrint support aren't likely to reduce this inkjet model's appeal for the average home user, and it make a solid entry point for those looking to print more photos and creative projects at home.
