Test, again five pages, only gave 2.5ppm, just half of the claimedįigure. Our mono print tests, with 7.8ppm for a 20-page document, dropping toħ.3ppm with the more normal 5-page document. The EcoTank L555 is ratedĪt 9ppm for black print and 5ppm for colour and it got quite close in ISO standard for measuring print speed, it speeds can still beĪmbitious when compared with real-world tests. It’s quite tricky not getting ink on yourself when you peel the seals from the necks of the bottles. Open each of the tanks by removing a plug and squeeze the contents of an ink bottle into each one. Unhook the tank module from the side of the printer and turn it on its side. Setting up the printer takes a bit longer than clipping in cartridges, but only has to be done every two years or so. Epson EcoTank L555 – Cartridge Installation Apart from the ink tanks, the machine bears quite a bit of resemblance to the £100 WorkForce WF-2630WF. Connection is either via a single USB socket at the rear or by a Wi-Fi link, which is easy to set up and more versatile. There’s a single paper tray, which can hold up to 100 sheets, angled nearly vertically at the back. This precludes previewing photos for printing, but then this isn’t a photo printer, has no card or USB slots in the front panel and can’t produce borderless prints. The wide control panel is logically laid out, but only sports a 2-line by 16-character LCD screen.

The printers are aimed at the small or home office printing around 150 pages per month, so should last two years or more. The tanks are directly connected to the printer’s heads via flexible tubes and can take up to 70ml of ink at a time, enough for 4000 black pages and 6500 colour ones. As the name suggests, it’s dispensed with cartridges and instead produced two printers, the EcoTank 元55 and the EcoTank L555, reviewed here, which use tanks of ink, in hook-on modules attached to their sides. So Epson has reversed the printer/ink paradigm and introduced the EcoTank range. Epson has been listening to its customers, who’ve been chanting the inkjet owner’s chant: ‘Why does ink cost so much?’ In fact, inkjet ink is generally cheaper per page than laser toner, but the smaller capacity of inkjet cartridges means you run out more often.
