Kodak launches new printers that have long lasting ink and cheaper ink cartridges

Kodak has announced a new line of printers that will certainly save many folks lots of money. Kodak claims that a 4x6 picture will only cost you about 10 cents. That's cheaper then what I pay at Sams Club. The ink that these printers use also lasts for 100 years (now how did they figure that one out?!). Black cartridges will sell for $10 and color cartridges for about $15. That could mean big savings for home users.

"Eastman Kodak Co. (EK.N: Quote, Profile , Research) is introducing a line of desktop printers and low cost replacement inks on Tuesday, as the photography company takes on a market dominated by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ.N: Quote, Profile , Research).

For the camera maker, the long awaited launch of inkjet printing products kicks off a year in which it hopes to end the tough and expensive three year transformation that has seen the company shed tens of thousands of workers.

Kodak said it will in March start sales of 3 EasyShare All-in-One printers, ranging from $150 to $300, which will print, scan and copy document and photos. Black replacement ink cartridges will sell for about $10, and a color one for about $15, about 50 percent less than its rivals, Kodak said, adding that it will profit on sales of both printers and ink."
