Pull this Kodak all in one printer out of its box and you might be surprised by the hefty foot print it leaves. Housing a scanner and copier bed on top of the unit, and a printer at the bottom, the reason for the large scale of the printer is clear.

Setting up the unit takes just a few printers. Plug the 7250 in, power it up, place the print head and two cartridges (one black and one colour) and you’re ready to go. You can connect the printer to a network via the Ethernet cable port, USB port or Wi-Fi, or you can run it without a computer, simply by popping your memory card directly into the dedicated slots at the front of the printer.

Setting it up may be quick and easy, but printing does seem to take some time. We loaded a memory card with 19 images into the front of the Kodak and selected to print them full colour at 6x4 size. The LCD screen on the front showed that the Kodak was ‘Printing…’ but after 5 minutes we were still waiting for the first image to arrive. Cancelling the print and starting again revealed the necessity to ‘Ok’ each image – there is a small box in the lower right of the screen that needs to be checked. Once this has happened the 6x4” arrived in about two minutes.

Quality wise the images were good, were faithful colour reproduction to the original digital file, and a good finish. Colour and black and white images were pleasing and both highlights and shadow details were coped with well. Blues and greens were particularly well produced in landscapes, and reds and oranges on one macro were picture postcard perfect.

As a all in one, the scanning performance was also good, with quick access via the menu to achieve some pretty instant and high quality results.

Final Verdict For photographers who want quick prints of their images, plus the added functionality of a photo copier and scanner, this Kodak performs well OVERALL
