QUALITY – Kodak’s Proprietary Ink System
The KODAK AiO Inkjet portfolio produces KODAK Lab Quality photos,2 documents that last a lifetime,3 and low total
running costs. Whether displayed on a wall or simply tacked on a refrigerator, KODAK Prints are designed not to
fade.
The KODAK ESP 9250 Printer features Kodak’s proprietary pigmented inks for brilliant colors and permanence
to last a lifetime.3 Only Kodak offers proprietary pigmented inks to the average customer, which are designed
to deliver richer, more vibrant colors that bond more effectively with paper to provide a significant fade
resistance advantage over other ink systems, particularly the dye-based ink systems used by the majority of
consumer inkjet manufacturers.
Using KODAK Ink and Photo Papers, prints dry instantly, don’t smear or smudge and are water resistant4,
even when using a highlighter on documents. Kodak’s propriety ink system has achieved Wilhelm Imaging
Research (WIR) Display Permanence and album / dart storage ratings of greater than 120 years and WIR
Unprotected Ozone Resistance ratings of more than 100 years.5
INTELLIGENCE – Kodak’s ‘You Push the Button, We Do the Rest’ Performance
Kodak has always been about delivering smart design to consumers, combining one-touch simplicity with high-end
performance and features. The new KODAK ESP 9250 Printer brings this promise to the inkjet printer market.
Like others in Kodak’s full line of home inkjet printers, the KODAK ESP 9250 Printer features an intelligent bar
code system that optimizes settings for superior printing performance using Kodak’s versatile proprietary
pigmented ink system. KODAK Printers automatically detect and adjust for printing documents or photos
and feature a bar code reader that works seamlessly with KODAK Photo Paper to customize the printer’s ink
output to produce the ideal result for the selected paper. This intelligent design ensures customers receive
exceptional image quality time after time.
Kodak AiO Printers are the only consumer printers on the market that actively monitor and display how
much ink and paper are available both on the printer LCD screen and remotely on the computer screen, so
consumers can simply hit print and walk away. Kodak’s intelligent paper tray also features an auto-engaging
photo tray that holds three sizes of paper.
With the latest Wi-Fi and networking capability, consumers can effortlessly print with Kodak printers including
the KODAK ESP 9250 Printer, from anywhere in their home or even from an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad
device.6 An intuitive control panel and built-in templates make it easy and convenient to print a variety of
forms, including graph paper, line paper, wide-ruled paper, tic-tac-toe, to do lists, grocery lists and even sheet
music.
To reduce paper use, the KODAK ESP 9250 Printer seamlessly handles double-sided, duplex printing.
With other printers, consumers waste time thinking about settings and modes, but the Kodak ESP 9250 Printer
ensures a high-quality print every time without the guesswork.
