Epson Ecotank L3251 Home Ink Tank Printer

Description

The Epson EcoTank L3251 is a compact and versatile all-in-one ink tank printer designed for home and small office users who need affordable, reliable, and high-quality printing. It combines printing, scanning, and copying functions in one sleek device while eliminating the need for traditional ink cartridges. With its built-in, refillable ink tanks, the L3251 offers exceptional cost savings and convenience, making it ideal for everyday printing needs.

This printer features Epson’s Micro Piezo printhead technology, ensuring consistent and detailed prints with a resolution of up to 5,760 × 1,440 dpi. It offers print speeds of up to 10 pages per minute in black and 5 pages per minute in color, making it efficient for both text documents and color photos. The printer also supports borderless photo printing up to 10 × 15 cm.

Equipped with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, the L3251 enables easy wireless printing from smartphones, tablets, and laptops using the Epson Smart Panel app. This app allows users to print, scan, and monitor ink levels directly from their mobile devices without a computer.

The refillable ink system is designed for simplicity and mess-free refilling. Each ink bottle is uniquely keyed to prevent color mix-ups, while the transparent front-facing tanks make it easy to monitor ink levels. With the included ink bottles, users can print up to 8,100 pages in black or 6,500 pages in color, significantly lowering the cost per page compared to cartridge printers.

The flatbed scanner uses a CIS (Contact Image Sensor) to provide sharp scans with an optical resolution of 1,200 × 2,400 dpi, suitable for documents and photos. Copying is straightforward and efficient, making it a convenient option for daily office tasks.

With a paper capacity of 100 sheets, the EcoTank L3251 supports a wide range of media sizes including A4, A5, A6, B5, envelopes, and photo paper. It supports manual duplex printing and delivers consistent performance for text, graphics, and images.

Energy efficiency is another highlight — the printer consumes about 12 watts during operation and drops to less than 1 watt in sleep mode, making it an environmentally conscious choice. Its compact design (approximately 375 × 347 × 179 mm and 3.9 kg) makes it easy to fit into small spaces without cluttering your desk.
