Kodak has just announced their new line of printers dubbed the “EASYSHARE AiO” which will be launching in March. Normally an announcement like this is something most people would pass by, but what caught my eye is the printers KODACOLOR technology. Apparently Kodak agreed with the general public that ink prices are way to high and created KODACOLOR as a solution to this issue.

According to Kodak, their inkjet cartridges will cost only “$9.99 for a cartridge of black ink and $14.99 for a five-ink color cartridge (US MSRP).” In comparison, their inkjet cartridges “can print the same number of pages at half the cost of other consumer inkjet printers.” This isn’t just in reference to simple text pages or images printed onto regular paper. These figures translate into photo quality printing as well!

The Kodak EASYSHARE All-in-One Printer comes in three different models:

• The KODAK EASYSHARE 5100 All-in-One Printer ($149.99 US MSRP), featuring print, scan and copy capabilities, delivers high-quality documents and photos for users who enjoy printing without limitations. The device can print and copy up to 32 pages per minute in black and 22 pages per minute in color, and print photos from PICTBRIDGE-enabled cameras without involving a PC.
• The KODAK EASYSHARE 5300 All-in-One Printer ($199.99 US MSRP) builds on the 5100’s features by offering a 3-inch color LCD display that enables photo viewing and cropping directly from the printer. Memory card slots provide an additional quick and simple way to print digital pictures without a PC.
• The KODAK EASYSHARE 5500 All-in-One Printer ($299.99 US MSRP) is the perfect solution for home-office users and connected families who want to do it all with no constraints. In addition to sharing the features of the 5100 and 5300 printers, the 5500 has fax functionality and includes a 2.4-inch color LCD display, an automatic document feeder and a duplexer attachment.
