Kodak getting out of consumer inkjet printer business

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 30 Sep 2012 12:59 User comments (3)

Kodak confirmed today that it will discontinue all sales of consumer inkjet printers, cutting 1200 jobs.

The bankrupt former giant had previously announced 1000 layoffs.

Kodak is working to restructure its business, ceasing losing operations on focusing on higher margin divisions.

Eventually, the company would like to emerge from bankruptcy focused on just commercial, packaging and functional printing solutions and enterprise services.

After declaring bankruptcy earlier this year the company hopes to emerge next year.

Well I own TWO kodak devices! a digital camera, which they have gotten out of the market...and now an ink jet printer and it turns out they are also giving THAT up!

I wish I had of picked some other company than Kodak when I was making those purchases. I will NEVER buy anything Kodak again though.

Just got done replacing an office printer from the Kodak line once the print head belched up its balls. What was once great in practice fell flat of its ass in practice.

They should have made the print heads as easily accessible as the ink cartridges. I would have continued to use their products & they might have gotten a little more life out of the company on that side of the house.

Being a professional photographer, I can only shake my head as time & technology has turned it back on the film aspects.

	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag.

	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
