EcoTank Cartridge-Free System:
The EcoTank L3251 uses Epson's integrated refillable ink tank system, where high-capacity ink tanks are filled directly from affordable Epson 103 series ink bottles instead of replacing expensive cartridges. A single black ink bottle set yields up to 4,500 pages and a colour ink set yields up to 7,500 pages, delivering savings of up to 90% on printing costs compared to cartridge-based printers. For households, students, small businesses, and home offices in Kenya that print regularly, one set of replacement ink bottles at Jumbo Mart covers a very high volume of printing at an extremely low cost per page.
MicroPiezo Heat-Free Technology:
The L3251 uses Epson's MicroPiezo Heat-Free inkjet technology, which uses piezoelectric pressure rather than heat to push ink through the printhead nozzles. This makes the printer more durable, longer-lasting, and more energy-efficient than heat-based inkjet printers, and significantly less power-hungry than laser printers. The low power consumption means the L3251 can run comfortably on a UPS during load shedding, which is a practical and important advantage for homes and offices across Kenya where power interruptions are a daily consideration.
5760 x 1440 dpi Resolution and Borderless Photo Printing:
The L3251 prints at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi, delivering crisp, sharp text on everyday documents and vivid, accurate colour in photos and graphics. Borderless printing is supported up to 4R (10 x 15cm) on compatible Epson photo paper, allowing edge-to-edge photos without white borders. Print speeds reach up to 33 ppm in black and 15 ppm in colour in draft mode, covering everyday home and small office printing volumes with comfortable throughput.
Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and the Epson Smart Panel App:
The L3251 connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) for printing over a home or office network, and Wi-Fi Direct for printing directly from a device without a router. The Epson Smart Panel app for iOS and Android makes wireless setup, printing, scanning, and ink level monitoring straightforward from a smartphone. AirPrint allows iPhone and iPad users to print without installing any additional app, and Mopria support covers Android devices for driver-free wireless printing.
CIS Flatbed Scanner and Copy Function:
The L3251 includes a CIS flatbed scanner with 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution for digitising documents, photos, certificates, and other flat originals up to A4 size. The copy function handles everyday document copying at up to 7.7 cpm in black and 3.8 cpm in colour, covering standard office and household copying needs efficiently.
What Is the Difference Between the Epson L3251 and L3250?
The Epson EcoTank L3251 and Epson L3250 are functionally identical, sharing the same Heat-Free technology, ink yields, print resolution, Wi-Fi connectivity, and Epson 103 ink bottle compatibility. The L3251 was introduced as a region-specific variant for certain markets. Both printers deliver the same print quality and the same EcoTank ink savings, and both are compatible with the Epson 103 series ink bottles available at Jumbo Mart Kenya.
