Epson has expanded their InkTank printer portfolio with the launch of a new series of A4 Wi-Fi printers with integrated InkTanks. The newly integrated InkTank printers consist of five models - L4150, L4160 L6160, L6170 and L6190. Of all the five new Wi-Fi printers launched, the L4150 will offer duplex printing. The latest L-series InkTank Printers continue to offer low printing costs, at 12 paise for B&W and 20 paise for Colour composite.
With a new design, the new L-series printers integrate the InkTank into the printer, which seems to be an improvement on previous models. These printers lower the total cost of ownership of businesses with the page yields of 7,500 B&W pages and 6,000 colour pages for each complete set of 4 ink bottles. The new models also offer the smallest footprint amongst all brands of InkTank printers.
The company claims that these printers are made with inputs of customer feedback. And, the printer’s easy-to-use spill-free ink bottles offer users ease and convenience when refilling the InkTank. The ink bottles are designed to prevent re-filling errors with each ink bottle nozzle customised to fit its matching colour tank.

The integrated InkTank printers deliver black prints with the use of black pigment ink that produces water and smudge-resistant printouts. For photo printing, the printers offer lab-quality photos when printing on photo media. Large-sized photo printing is made possible as the printers support borderless printing of up to A4 size. Additional features include a 30-page Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for unattended scanning and copying of multi-sheet documents.
The new L-series InkTank printers come with auto-duplex print function, which provides users up to 50% savings on paper cost, reducing running costs even further. Epson seems to be the only brand offering InkTank printers with auto-duplex function in the market. The price range for the new L-series printers starts from Rs 15,000 onwards. The L4150 and L4160 have a warranty of 1 Year or 30,000 pages, whichever is earlier. The L6160, L6170 and L6190 have a warranty of 1 Year or 50,000 pages, whichever is earlier.
