Kodak ESP C315 Expert Review

The Kodak ESP C315 can print, copy and scan images. This budget all-in-one inkjet prints colour photos at a maximum resolution of 9600 by 9600dpi.

It can print 4 pages per minute in full colour or 6 pages per minute in black and white, as well as being able to print borderless pictures.

The input tray holds up to 100 pages at once, is located on the rear of the device and can hold a number of different types of media.

The flatbed scanner can scan standard paper size documents or photos at a resolution of 1200dpi with a colour depth of 48 bits. The device can wirelessly connect to tablets, smartphones and laptop PCs to allow users to print from these devices or even scan documents straight to them.

The C315 can be used without a PC attached to copy and print from memory cards. A small colour screen makes it easy to adjust the size of the image or change the number of copies to be made. Images can be reduced down to 20 per cent of the original size or blown up to 500 per cent.
