Despite its name, the Kodak ESP Office 2170 All-In-One Printer is less suited for the office than for the home office or for the dual role of home and home office MFP. Buy it...

If the Kodak ESP Office 2170 All-in-One was being marketed at homes as a budget friendly photo all-in-one printer, I'd consider giving it an Editor's Choice Award. The photo and text quality was excellent, it offers creative features and easy to...
