The L365, L455 and L565 are wireless all-in-one devices and come with up to two years’ worth of ink.
Integrated high-capacity ink tanks ensure “ink is supplied continuously to the printer”, avoiding cartridge replacement, Mass Retailer reported.
The ink tank can print up to 4,000 pages in black and 6,500 in colour, and replacement bottles with drip-free nozzles and resealable cap are available, holding the same print capacity. The EcoTank L365 range has Wi-Fi with auto-setup, allowing the device to link up with computers and laptops. Users can also print from Android and iOS phones and tablets via Epson’s free iPrint app.
The L455 is “the next step up”, offering wireless connectivity to facilitate multiple device connection (up to four at once) and printing from any location. It has a plug-and-play function, with users able to choose from an existing network with 802.11n or Wi-Fi Direct, enabling peer-to-peer printing, without a wireless network. It also uses Apple AirPrint, allowing the printing of photos, emails and documents from an iPad or iPhone, with no setup or download required.
Google Cloud Print is also compatible with the L455, enabling “printing on the go” from a smartphone or tablet through Gmail, Google Drive, Chromebook and Google Chrome.
The L565 MFP is at the “top of the range”, with the OEM saying it “allows any home office or small office to do more in one small package”. It has a 100-sheet paper capacity and can scan, copy and fax several documents, via its 30-page automatic document feeder. It also has simple wireless connectivity, but with a larger 2.2 inch monochrome LCD on its control panel. The device prints from smartphones and tablets via Epson Connect and supports Android, Apple iPad and iPhone, Chromebook, Kindle Fire, Mac and Windows devices.
All three devices are covered by Epson’s one year Return-to-Base warranty.
Epson said: “EcoTank printers have revolutionised household and small office printing by making them incredibly convenient as a result of the two years’ worth of included ink, the elimination of regular trips or orders to buy ink and the knowledge that, paper aside, most costs associated with printing are already paid for.”
It continued: “The use of ink bottles means there are no cartridges to change, ever. If required one simply tops up the tanks and continues printing without worry.”
