Kodak Hero 5.1 Printer Description

Easy Wi-Fi set up, Google Cloud Print and auto duplexing are just three benefits users will be able to enjoy once they’ve bought the Kodak Hero 5.1.

Setting up the Wi-Fi connectivity for this printer can be carried out using the device’s 6.1cm LCD screen. This display is in keeping with the design of various ‘Hero’ models and this printer also has a 100-sheet paper capacity.

There are printing speeds of 8ppm for mono and 6ppm for colour offered by the Hero 5.1.

Kodak Hero 5.1 Expert Review

The Kodak Hero 5.1 is an all-in-one that can provide printing with convenience for the home backed by the fact Kodak’s printers are notoriously cheap.

The Wi-Fi connectivity on offer will be a plus point for families where access to the printer may be needed from various rooms in the house. Print speeds, whilst not blisteringly quick, certainly do the job for a moderate user and the 100-sheet capacity is boosted by the auto duplexing option.

This means you can print double-sided and potentially halve your paper costs in the process.

A lack of PictBridge compatibility is a drawback as is no CD or DVD printing tray but this is still a multifunctional machine that will please home printer users.

Pros

• Ability to auto duplex
• Cheap consumables
