We can’t fault the print quality, though, as the L555 produces text that is close to laser-quality, and good graphics output. We actually got 8.5 and 4 pages per minute respectively, which is fairly modest for a printer in this price range. It’s a clever idea, but filling the L555 up with ink for the first time is a bit nerve-wracking, as you have to unhook the tanks from the side of the machine and then squirt the ink in using four separate bottles for the cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks.Įpson quotes speeds of 9 pages per minute for mono printing and 4.5 pages for colour.
Rather than inserting a set of small ink cartridges into the print mechanism, the L555 has a set of large ink tanks bolted onto the right-hand side of the printer. There’s also a less expensive model called the 元55, which has essentially the same specification but omits the fax machine and document feeder, bringing the price down to £250. The 100-sheet paper tray also seems a little small for a printer that needs to run at high volumes in order to maximize savings. It provides USB and wifi connectivity, but there’s no Ethernet, which seems like an oversight in a printer that will primarily appeal to business users. The L555 reviewed here is a four-in-one multifunction device that costs £330 and includes a 5760x1440dpi printer, 1200dpi scanner and copier, along with a fax machine and 30-page document feeder.
There are currently two printers available in the Ecotank range.

Epson Ecotank L555 review: exploring the Ecotank range And, instead of using small ink cartridges that can only print a few hundred pages at a time, the Ecotank printers have large built-in ink tanks that can hold enough ink to print several thousand pages. The Ecotank printers genuinely turn the traditional printer business on its head, with a higher initial purchase price for the printer itself but much lower costs for ink supplies.
