Epson has extended its range of ultra-low-cost Ink Tank System (ITS) printers with six new models that deliver ultra-low-cost printing without the need for ink cartridges. Including models that come with enough ink to print up to 12,000 pages in black and 6,500 pages in colour[1], Epson is offering a new way of printing that delivers hassle-free results for home and office users. The range includes models with scanning, copying and faxing (L565), and a large LCD screen and SD card slot for easy PC-free printing (L455).

 

Our new printers for the home come with two years’ worth of ink included[2]. The L130 and L220 can print an incredible 6,500 pages in colour and 4,000 pages in black using only the ink included in the box. Also for the home, the L310, L365 and L455 include two extra black ink bottles increasing their combined black print output to 12,000 pages.

 

Completing the range, and designed for the small office environment, the L565’s ultra-low-cost printing can save users up to 90% on the cost of everyday printing[3]. It features copying and 1200dpi scanning functionality, Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless printing, and fax functionality with a 30-page automatic document feeder.

 

Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, says: “Complimenting our line-up of existing products, these models feature Epson’s Micro Piezo technology and offer unrivalled durability, quality and reliability. Over 10 million end users worldwide made their choice in favour of Epson Ink Tank System printers in less than four years. They are ideal for home and small office customers who want to print high volumes of everyday documents and for whom price and convenience are key factors. With around two years’ worth of ink included, users know where they stand.”

 

The L455 meets the needs of homes for a fast solution for printing, scanning and copying – and occasional photo printing – without requiring a PC. Its large LCD screen and SD card slot makes it even easier print out a range of A4 colour office documents, including graphics, advertising materials and presentations.

 

The L365 features both copying and 1200dpi scanning functionality, Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless printing, and, like the L565, and L310, offers print speeds of up to 9.2pp. All three models benefit from hassle-free set up, reliable and ultra-low-cost printing, and a one-year warranty (or 30,000 pages) for added peace of mind, should you need it. For the home, the L130 and L220 deliver the same ultra-low-cost printing with print speeds of up to 7ppm1 and a one-year warranty (or 15,000 pages) for peace of mind.

 

All new models with Wi-Fi allow users to utilise Epson Connect, which allows printing from anywhere in the world just by emailing photos and documents to the printer, or via a remote print driver. Epson Connect also includes the Epson iPrint app[5] for easy printing over Wi-Fi from smartphones and tablets. Documents and photos can also be printed with L455 and L565 direct from mobile devices thanks to compatibility with Apple AirPrint[6]  and Google Cloud Print. Easy Wi-Fi set-up helps to connect these printers to a wireless network[7].
