ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 27 -- Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) today announced the newest addition to its innovative line of All-in-One (AiO) Inkjet Printers, that are intelligently designed to deliver superior performance while maintaining Kodak's Best-In-Class overall print permanence(1), low-cost ink system. With the introduction of the KODAK ESP 9250 AiO Printer, Kodak delivers an advanced printing system to consumers seeking professional-quality photos and documents without compromise.

"Consumers demand printing excellence and Kodak delivers with this new, advanced system."
QUALITY - Kodak's Proprietary Ink System
The KODAK AiO Inkjet portfolio produces KODAK Lab Quality photos,(2) documents that last a lifetime,(3) and low total running costs. Whether displayed on a wall or simply tacked on a refrigerator, KODAK Prints are designed not to fade.
-- The KODAK ESP 9250 Printer features Kodak's proprietary pigmented inks
for brilliant colors and permanence to last a lifetime.(3) Only Kodak
offers proprietary pigmented inks to the average customer, which are
designed to deliver richer, more vibrant colors that bond more
effectively with paper to provide a significant fade resistance
advantage over other ink systems, particularly the dye-based ink
systems used by the majority of consumer inkjet manufacturers.
-- Using KODAK Ink and Photo Papers, prints dry instantly, don't smear or
smudge and are water resistant(4), even when using a highlighter on
documents. Kodak's propriety ink system has achieved Wilhelm Imaging
Research (WIR) Display Permanence and album / dart storage ratings of
greater than 120 years and WIR Unprotected Ozone Resistance ratings of
more than 100 years.(5)
INTELLIGENCE - Kodak's 'You Push the Button, We Do the Rest' Performance
Kodak has always been about delivering smart design to consumers, combining one-touch simplicity with high-end performance and features. The new KODAK ESP 9250 Printer brings this promise to the inkjet printer market.
-- Like others in Kodak's full line of home inkjet printers, the KODAK
ESP 9250 Printer features an intelligent bar code system that

the selected paper. This intelligent design ensures customers receive
exceptional image quality time after time.
-- Kodak AiO Printers are the only consumer printers on the market that
actively monitor and display how much ink and paper are available both
on the printer LCD screen and remotely on the computer screen, so
consumers can simply hit print and walk away. Kodak's intelligent
paper tray also features an auto-engaging photo tray that holds three
sizes of paper.
-- With the latest Wi-Fi and networking capability, consumers can
effortlessly print with Kodak printers including the KODAK ESP 9250
Printer, from anywhere in their home or even from an iPhone, iPod
Touch or iPad device.(6) An intuitive control panel and built-in
templates make it easy and convenient to print a variety of forms,
including graph paper, line paper, wide-ruled paper, tic-tac-toe, to
do lists, grocery lists and even sheet music.
-- To reduce paper use, the KODAK ESP 9250 Printer seamlessly handles
double-sided, duplex printing.
With other printers, consumers waste time thinking about settings and modes, but the Kodak ESP 9250 Printer ensures a high-quality print every time without the guesswork.
