Epson has launched its new line up of EcoTank printers that offer one of the lowest total cost of ownership in the market.
Known previously as the L and M-series Ink Tank System printers, the newly branded EcoTank printers come with a new streamlined design with an integrated ink tank, in a more compact size and with innovative spill-free ink bottles. With this new line-up, Epson has brought the integrated ink tank design to its entry-level ink tank printers for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and home offices.
Epson has also expanded the line-up of its M-series printers, now known as Ecotank Monochrome series printers, with the new flagship EcoTank M2140 printer. The M2140 printer now incorporates the PrecisionCore printhead, bringing improved nozzle technology with increased print resolutions at 1200 x 2400 dpi, and faster speeds of 20ipm. The multi-function EcoTank Monochrome series comes with auto-duplex printing as well as scan and copy functions.
In terms of offering low total cost of ownership, the EcoTank L-series printers with a set of four ink bottles yields 4,500 black and white pages and 7,500 colour pages, and the EcoTank Monochrome series yields 6,000 black and white pages.
“With the launch of our EcoTank Monochrome series, we aim to expand the market for inkjet printers and shift users from the entry-level laser printer segment to purchase inkjet printers. With the immense advantages it brings in terms of lower overall total cost of ownership and savings in energy consumption and improved impact to the environment, the EcoTank printers can offer a better alternative to laser printers for SMEs and home office segment,” said Eduardo Bonoan, marketing director for Epson Philippines.
Epson launched the first ink tank printer model in Indonesia and subsequently in Southeast Asia in 2010. The EcoTank L3110 printer is the replacement model for L360 and L380 printers, and the L3150 printer is the replacement model for L405. The M1100 and M1120 models are replacement models for M100.
