"It's hard to make business decisions when you're thinking about the cost of ink. Stop overpaying and make the smart investment with the KODAK ESP Office 2170 All-in-One Printer. Kodak offers the lowest total ink replacement cost[1]. And a suite of features that will keep you productive in your home office. Features like the 25-page automatic document feeder, easy wireless functionality, easy-to-use controls, low ink alerts, and direct printing from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or BLACKBERRY device. It's an affordable 4-in-1 bundle of business efficiency that makes the most of every dollar, and every minute. So you'll never worry about hitting print again."

If you're looking for an all-in-one printer, scanner, fax, and copying machine, this $149 wireless wonder (802.11 b/g/n) should do the trick nicely. The fact that you can also print from iOS devices, and Blackberry devices, is a nice touch - though I'd be curious to know how often someone needs to do that? I suppose with the proliferation of tablets replacing laptops, printing might become more common. Add Kodak's low ink costs into the mix - black ink is $9.99 and the colour cartridge is $17.99 - and I'd say you have a winning combination here.

I've never owned a Kodak printer before though, so I'm unsure about the print quality. Any owners care to weigh in?
