Although multiple connectivity options (including cloud printing), is a tough competitor who offers the Epson Stylus NX430 features.
Design and Features
Printer Kodak ESP 3.2 has a size of 16.5 x 12.4 x 7 inc. This printer has a function to print, scan, and copy documents, but you will not find an automatic document feeder so you have to scan each page of the document.
Unlike ESP 5, the paper trays in and out are on the opposite side. Enter the paper tray can hold 100 sheets of paper can be folded on top of the scanner cover when not in use. Out the paper tray is in the device and can be folded when not in use. Overall, this printer is made of lightweight plastic that gives the feel of the device is thin and delicate.
If you want to replace the ink, you can lift the thin plastic cover, which is similar to the hood of the car. This mechanism requires two hands to close it and it is a terrible design choice.
Printer Kodak ESP 3.2 maintains the size standard of ink cartridges, one slot for the black ink and one for color. This setting is common to printers in the low-end price range, and the site Kodak reported a price equal to the average inkjet printer. In addition, the company also sells cartridges with extra large capacity that cost a bit more expensive, but will save you money in the long run.
The top of the device meminliki 2.4-inch LCD display that guides you through the process of installing a printer on a wireless network, and the light that lights on the front indicate the status of your network in relation to the host computer network. Unfortunately, the screen is in a fixed position, which may not be visible if you put it on the shelf a little higher.
Kodak put a virtual button to turn on, cancel, navigate, and start printing. Remained below you will find a button multimedia card reader for Memory Stick, SD, and MMC, but it lacks a USB port printer to print directly from a digital camera.
Kodak offers several ways to print in addition to the standard of USB connection - you can relate it to the office network using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly distribute using server Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n. This printer is set to Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), if you have a compatible wireless router. Actually easier to connect without WPS, but you have to make an ad-hoc connection using a USB cable first. Unfortunately Kodak did not include this cable in the box.

Kodak provides addresses for devices that you use during the wireless setup process, and the virtual instructions that walk you through step by step.
Performance
Printer Kodak ESP 3.2 works more slowly than the average printer at a price of $ 100. This difference can usually be ignored unless you print a long document. For comparison, the Epson NX430 prints plain black text with a Word document pages per minute speed 14:11 (PPM), which is three times faster than that just 4:56 ESP 3.2 PPM.
Unfortunately, the image quality printers bit disappointing, because it looks stained, transparent colors and realistic skin tones slightly damaged, and the graphics are lost segment color gradation. Skin color also looks rough and unrealistic, even on the best Kodak glossy photo paper measuring 8.5 x 11 inches.
Photographic prints are the best, but still has some shortcomings with yellow ink too much. Scan quality is also better, but also remains problematic for dark compression. Color scanning produces accurate results, and overall impressed sharp and clear.
Conclusion
Kodak ESP 3.2 offers a cloud-based printing functions the same as the Office Hero, but users may be a little trouble with the weak performance of this printer.
