Office Depot to sell new Kodak AIOs

Kodak Announces Agreement with Office Depot to Sell New Kodak All-in-One Inkjet Printers

Office Depot will carry the KODAK EASYSHARE family of All-in-One printers beginning July 1. The all-in-one printing solution claims to save consumers up to 50 percent on everything they print, including text documents and photos.  Savings are based on home printing of documents and photos, using average ink costs of comparable consumer inkjet printers. 

“Kodak is revolutionizing home printing and our printers are receiving resounding support from consumers,” said Michael Korizno, General Manager for the Americas Consumer Digital Group, Vice President of Kodak. “We’re excited to be able to expand product availability with a market leader such as Office Depot.”

Office Depot will sell KODAK EASYSHARE All-in-One printers in all of the company’s more than 1,170 retail stores in the U.S., as well as online at www.officedepot.com.

“The new Kodak printing system is an ideal solution for consumers who are looking for quality and performance at an excellent value,” said Scott Koerner, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Office Depot. “This service provides customers with another choice when it comes to purchasing ink for the home or office.”

The exclusive KODACOLOR technology integrated in KODAK EASYSHARE All-in-One inkjet printers is a combination of several elements: innovative pigment inks and permanent print heads, micro-porous photo paper, and Kodak’s long-standing experience in color and photo technology. This combination ensures excellent results for all printouts, be it text, graphics, or photos with vibrant colors.

Office Depot customers will enjoy the above savings as compared to other consumer inkjet systems for all types of printouts, with manufacturer suggested pricing of $9.99 for black ink cartridges and $14.99 for five-ink color cartridges. These ink prices ensure low cost-of-printing, as recently confirmed by third-party ink yield testing by independent testing lab QualityLogic, and a Kodak cost-of-printing analysis.
