Ok, maybe not my sanity – there might not be much help for that…
You might remember a few weeks ago I was invited to participate in a conference with Laura Rowley and Kodakabout saving money around the house. I learned SO much about little ways I could save, including using power strips to turn off “vampire appliances” and making more meals at home. I was also invited to try one of Kodak’s new printers at home to help save money on printer ink. A no-brainer, right? I checked the Kodak Print and Prosperwebsite to see how much I could save on ink, and it was almost $200/year! Total no-brainer!
The Kodak ESP-7 Printer really does do just about everything (except dishes *sigh*). I can pop in my camera’s memory card and print right from the card! I used it to scan fabrics for a clients blog design, and printed out some pictures from my trip to Cincinnati – all in a matter of minutes. The best part is that I can connect the printer via my wireless router, and print from another room (*swoon*)! No more switching computers JUST to print!
Ok, so that’s all well and good, but what about YOU?? Well, Kodak has generously offered all of us who participated in this promotion a printer to give to one of our readers!! To top that off, out of all 25 winners, one of them will be chosen to recieve a scholarship to BlogHer! Meet fabulous women, listen to the best collected advice from seasoned bloggers, and see the sights in Chicago!
So – how do you enter?? Well, I thought I would make it fun and offer a couple different ways:
1. Go to Print & Prosper and find out how much you would save using a Kodak Printer. Come back here and comment with your #.
for another entry:
2. Tell me in the comments what YOU would do with a new printer – print out all your kids photos? Scan old photos to show on YOUR blog? I have some projects in mind to share here!
and one more:
3. Tweet this giveaway with the hashtag #chickyprint – I will add these entries to the pool!
Good luck! This giveaway will run til Friday May 1st at 9pm PST. Winner will be drawn at random and posted Monday May 4th.
These are the other blogs also giving away printers this week:
I can think of so many things I would do! I would scan old pictures, I would make my own invitiations and announcements and use it to send thank you notes to Kodak, Domestic Chicky and Blogher if I win!
Looks Like I would save $310 a year, wow. Anything helps in a tough year like this one.
What I would do with the printer…well I just started working from home, so this printer would do everything from print presentations to begin the process of organizing the scattered photos that need to be scanned in to the computer. Great giveaway.
I would save $135.81 This would be a great way for me to get my photos off CD’s and into some photo albums. We have our very first grandchild 18 1/2 months old, and we also still have twin 13 year old daughters still at home. So this would help doing school projects, papers, homework, etc., Many times I have to tell the girls no that they can’t print something because of the very reason this is all about – ink cost. It’s like liquid gold at our house. We were doing two science projects last night and something needed to be printed out and our color was gone, so it came out funny and it prints horrible pictures…so anyway I hope we get picked. We actually went without a printer at all because of ink costs for about 5 years, but with the girls in jr high about to start high school, we got a great deal on the printer we have and gave it to them for a Christmas present. It already needs ink and we conserve it like crazy.
it says $234, but I couldn’t get it to work right for me – mostly print in black and white but….i’d probably start doing more pictures if I had this cool kodak printer!
entry 2 – I’d actually print pictures instead of storing them on cute little flash drives

I would use the kodak printer mostly to print out pictures of my daughter… I had over 1200 pictures of her before she was 7 months old. That scares me…
