Adobe Acrobat Reader is arguably the most widely used PDF reading program, and thus the communication error is a rather serious one. We were able to replicate this problem on multiple Macs and we worked around the problem by printing through the Preview application. What was most troubling, however, was the performance on our four-page PDF test when printing documents from Adobe Acrobat Reader, the ESP 9 will print one page but think it has printed all four. Our ten-page Word test averaged around three and a half minutes, and that’s also three times slower than several high-end ink-jets we’ve tested. It finished the one-page Word test in 38 seconds on average-three times longer than our top performers. On the other hand, when it came to text, the ESP 9 finished our trials with simply awful times.

That’s a full minute faster than the Epson WorkForce 600 ( ). It’s in color printing where the ESP 9 seemed to be fastest, printing our 22MB Photoshop document in 1 minute and 54 seconds. In our timed trials, the ESP 9 produced times that were either sluggish or surprisingly speedy, depending on the difficulty of the task. This is much cheaper than competing printers’ ink cartridges, besting some printers’ ink prices by as much as $50. Replacing the color ink costs only $15, while a black ink cartridge only costs $10. The pricey paper is offset by the cheap ink replacement costs. We also found that printing without Kodak paper led to frequent paper jams, and clearing such jams was frustrating. The image quality difference is noticeable enough that you should use Kodak photo paper to produce the best prints. The downside is that this Kodak paper costs $18 for 25 letter-sized sheets-not exactly a bargain.
Our Photoshop 22MB image test document received only a Good rating when we used standard premium glossy paper, but improved to a Very Good rating when we switched to the Kodak Ultra Premium Photo Paper. The ESP 9 can print on plain paper, but if you use Kodak photo paper, the printer can read the markings on the back of the paper and adjust its settings for optimal image output. Unfortunately, because the ESP 9 is so horribly loud, you won’t want it anywhere near your living room, office, or pets that scare easily. With its stylish design, the ESP 9 looks at home in your entertainment center, much like a DVD player or stereo system would. Kodak offers a one-year warranty on this machine. A jet-black exterior and blue LED panel lights give the impression of refinement, a marked contrast from the shades of gray of many printers. The three-inch LCD screen flips out on an easy-to-read panel that gives you access to copy, fax, and scan features. The ESP 9 has Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB connectivity. The ESP 9 is a versatile device equipped with very good color scanning and printing capabilities but is mediocre in other important areas. Kodak’s ESP 9 is a multifunction ink-jet device that prints, copies, faxes, and scans.
