KUALA LUMPUR: Epson has launched its new line up of EcoTank printers. Previously known 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.
Epson offers one of the lowest total costs of ownerships in the market by bringing the integrated ink tank design to its entry-level ink tank printers for SMEs and home offices.
The company also expanded the line-up of its M-series printers, now known as EcoTank Monochrome series 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.
The EcoTank Monochrome series are able to rival laser printers in terms of overall total cost of ownership and energy consumption. Based on a comparison chart, the printers show a whooping 24 times lower power consumption, and bringing 28 times lower overall cost per print compared to other laser printers.
In terms of offering low total cost of ownership, the EcoTank L-series printers with a set of four ink bottles - black, margenta, cyan and yellow - can yield up to 4,500 black and white pages and 7,500 colour pages, and the EcoTank Monochrome series yield 6,000 black and white pages.
