Kodak is launching a new all-in-one inkjet printer, the ESP Office 2170. Since it is an All-In-One, it will handle all of your printing, scanning, faxing and photocopying needs. The ESP Office 2170 doesn’t boast Extra sensory Perception, but instead uses WiFi to communicate with your computer.

It also supports direct printing from BlackBerry and iOS devices so you are good to go with your iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. The printer delivers up to 670 black text pages or up to 550 for color per Black Ink Cartridge 30XL. The ESP Office 2170 is arriving in June 2011 for $149.99.

Printers have now learned to stand upright. Maybe soon they will learn to beg for paper as well so they can get an ink treat. This is Lexmark’s first all-in-one printer with an upright design. It’s called the Genesis and it sports a 4.3-inch capacitive color touchscreen display for access to the printer controls and menus.

The Lexmark Genesis also sports a 10-megapixel imaging sensor that enables it to transfer a page from “document to digital” in seconds. It takes just .750 milliseconds after you close its front-facing scan bay, for the CMOS sensor to generate a preview on the 4.3-inch color touchscreen, and 2.2 seconds after that, it’s scanned a full 4800 x 1200 image.

The HP Envy 100 All-in-One uses the company’s ePrint technology, allowing users to print any document or picture from the web by using a unique email address which is assigned to it. This printer also has a mechanical retractable input and output tray, which is like a CD tray on a desktop computer.

This All-in-One can print, scan, copy, and connect to the Web, allowing you to do it all. It will print black-and-white and color documents at 30ppm and 25ppm. The HP Envy 100 All-in-One will be launched on October 4th, 2010 for $249.

Epson is one of the biggest printer makers around and when I hear the name I automatically think about expensive ink. I once had a printer from Epson that cost more to fill with ink than I paid for the printer. Epson has unveiled a new printer called the Stylus NX625.

The NX625 is a printer that is aimed at the home user and can print, scan, and copy. The thing can print in black at 15 ppm or in color at 7.2 ppm. It is also capable of printing on two sides of a page automatically at 7.6 ppm in black and 4.6 ppm in color.

Canon has unveiled a new photo printer in the Canon PIXMA iP2702. This printer can print a 4800 x 1200 color resolution picture in less than a minute. This inkjet printer uses Auto Photo Fix II technology to produce high quality prints.

The Canon PIXMA iP2702 also uses the ChromaLife100+ System, which insures that your printed photos survive up to 300 years when using genuine canon ink and paper. The Canon Pixma iP2702 photo printer will cost you $49.99.

Years ago, I worked for a company that had its own marketing department. The people there were always complaining because the colors they saw on the screen of the computer wasn’t what printed out on the printer. This can be a big issue for designers and NEC has a new screen specifically for these users.

The screen is called the PA241W and is 24-inches with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. The big thing about the LCD is the 10-bit IPS panel with 14-bit lookup table that allows for billions of possible colors. NEC says the screen is good for 102% of the NTSC color gamut and 99.3% of the Adobe RGB gamut.

Epson thinks that greeting cards could use a face lift and it thinks it has found the answer in augmented reality greeting cards. On the website they’ve set up for the end of year nengajo cards and they show how easy it is to use one of their Colorio printers to print off a color postcard with a picture of your face over a cute picture of 2010′s year of the tiger character.

When you hold it up to a webcam it brings the augmented reality to life. If you like that sort of thing, a video can be found here.

Kodak has some new all-in-one printers hitting the market in the form of the ESP 3250 and ESP 5250. Both models are equipped with Kodak’s Kodacolor technology, which lets you get away with using very cheap ink.

The two models are similar, but the ESP 3 has the added capability of a multi-function memory card reader and a 1.5″ LCD display for $130. The ESP 5250 will cost you $170 and comes with Wi-fi connectivity, the multi-function memory card reader and a smaller 2.4″ LCD display.

Rihac makes several Continuous Ink Supply Systems (CISS) for inkjet printers. This isn’t just another way to refill inkjet cartridges, it’s a high capacity ink supply system that does away with those expensive cartridges.

You can get systems that fit all the mid to high end printers made by all the big guys like Epson, HP, Canon and Brother. Rihac claims that their ink is made by the same companies that manufacture ink for the printer companies so the quality is identical to what you are already using.

Hot on the heels of their new Workforce printers, Epson has announced the upcoming release of the Artisan 710 and 810 all-in-one printers. Each feature an integrated Wi-Fi connection and Ethernet ports and both can print on both sides of a page. Compatible devices can be charged using the printers’ USB port. You can also print images wirelessly straight from your iPhone.

The Artisan 810 sports a color fax with an automatic document feeder and a 7.8-inch touch screen along with a 3.5-inch color LCD. The 710 uses a touch button control panel with a 2.5-inch LCD.

Epson has released the 610 and the 1100 as part of its WorkForce line. Both new printers feature Wi-Fi, wired networking and PC Fax capabilities and is also recyclable, while meeting ENERGY STAR standards. The all-in-one WorkForce 610 features a 2.5-inch LCD tilt screen and an automatic document feeder that supports maximum print speeds of up to 38 pages per minute in greyscale and color. Laser-quality is 15 ppm for black content or 9.3 ppm for color.

The WorkForce 1100 will provide up to 30 ppm in greyscale and 17 ppm in color, with laser-quality speeds of 13 ppm in greyscale and 5.5 ppm in color. The 1100 is designed to work with both standard-size documents and index cards, brochures and other paper sizes.

Today Canon introduced three new photo printers with some new features that you’ll appreciate. First up is the PIXMA MP560, which is an all-in-one inkjet with duplex printing, photo correction and Wi-Fi. It also features a USB port for printing directly from external storage. It’s capable of printing 4″ x 6″ prints in grayscale at a rate of 9.2 images a minute and 6 images per minute in color. Price should be $150.

Next up is the MP490, which lacks some of the above features like USB printing, duplex and Wi-Fi. It also has a slower printing rate and a 1.8-inch LCD screen. This one will run you $100.

One of the big problems with printers today isn’t that they print too slowly or that they can’t print images. The big problem is the cost of the printer and ink. Often you can replace your whole printer for the price you pay for new ink cartridges alone. I once owned a printer that cost about $50 to replace the ink tanks.

Epson has announced a new line of all-in-one printers called the NX series that offers nice features at low prices. All of the printers will copy, scan, and print. The line all use Epson DURABrite inks as well. The line includes the NX115, NX215, NX415, and NX515 models.

Xerox’s new ColorQube printer promises to revolutionize color-printing using a wax ink. The ink can reduce the cost per page by as much as 62%. This new ink doesn’t sacrifice any printer functions either. Like other multi-function printers, the ColorQube can print, copy, scan and fax and be networked by several people.

So how does it work? The ink is melted and sprayed onto a spinning drum which deposits it on the page. Don’t get too excited. The machine costs $20,000. But as the technology progresses it will get cheaper over time. And even at that price huge companies could see a long term savings in cost.

If you’re getting bored with eating eggs, why not spice things up with this fancy egg printer. Those plain white shells will soon be festive. The Egg Drawer puts pretty pictures on that incredible edible canvas.

With this and the Scan Toaster, your entire breakfast can be a work of art. Sadly, we can’t find any details for this thing, just the Flickr photostream. We need more of these by Easter next year. Looks like you can swap out any color marker for another.
