The Kodak HERO 5.1 All-in-One Printer provides lab-quality photo printing, document printing, scanning, and copying in a compact size that fits almost anywhere. The printer has a fast output speed of 8 ipm in black and 6 ipm in color. Additionally, the printer offers low cost per page printing with its affordable ink cartridges. For an even lower cost per page, Kodak offers high-capacity cartridges. Additionally, the printer comes with full standard size ink cartridges, not the starter cartridges commonly found in other printer boxes.
This step-up version of the HERO 3.1 includes automatic duplex printing so you can reduce your paper consumption by up to 50%. Additionally, the HERO 5.1 offers faster print speeds, Smart Sensor Technology, and a front USB port for easy printing from an external hard drive or USB key. The printer's 2 ink cartridge system (1 color & 1 black) makes it easy to maintain and replace the print cartridges. The printer offers numerous connectivity options so you can print from almost anywhere. The built-in Wi-Fi capability means that you can print from anywhere on your home wireless network and you can put the printer in a more convenient location, not necessarily next to the computer. You can also print from most mobile devices including an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android device, or Blackberry. Additionally, print directly from the most commonly used memory cards right from the printer without a computer. You can even use the 2.4" LCD to find, view, organize, and print photos on a memory card. The printer is also compatible with Kodak Email Print Service which lets you print by simply sending an email with a file attachment to your printer's dedicated email address.
KODAK All-in-One Printer Home Center Software which comes with the printer lets you print individual frames from a video and even create a 3D picture viewable with 3D glasses (included) by following the included instructions. The software also lets you edit photos, select from a wide range of templates from notebook paper to calendars, see your printer's status (especially useful for Wi-Fi users), order supplies, and print images from Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, Picasa, and Google Docs.

Comments about Kodak HERO 5.1 All-in-One Printer:
I bought a Kodak ESP-5250 printer about a year ago and loved it. However, I prefer a printer that has a duplex feature, and my new Kodak Hero 5.1 has that feature. Over the years, I've owned several HP and two Epson printers. Both of my Kodak printers beat all of those in their performance. A huge plus is the low cost of Kodak inks.
