CNET Editors' review - Kodak ESP 3
Hide

Good

6.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 6.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Justin Yu
Review date: 5/8/08
Release date: 1/8/08

The good: Kodak's Home Center Software with autoretouch makes photo editing easy; onboard media card bay; compact footprint.

The bad: Unacceptable text and graphics prints; awkward mechanical arm; slower-than-average print speeds; buggy Windows Vista drivers.

The bottom line: The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers.
