Epson EcoTank L5290 Inktank Printer is a highly-capable multifunction ink-tank printer designed to meet heavy-duty home or small-office requirements with minimal running costs. It performs printing, copying, scanning and faxing—all in one compact unit—allowing users to handle large-volume jobs without constantly replacing cartridges.
One of the standout features of the EcoTank L5290 is its ultra-low cost per page, enabled by the refillable tank system with high-yield ink bottles. For example, it supports yields of up to ~4,500 black pages and ~7,500 colour pages per set of inks. The printer connects easily to mobile and cloud via Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and Ethernet, and supports mobile apps like Epson Smart Panel for remote control and monitoring.
In terms of performance, the Epson EcoTank L5290 Inktank Printer offers print resolutions up to 5,760 × 1,440 dpi, with speeds up to about 33 pages per minute (monochrome) and 15 ppm colour in draft/plain mode. It features a 30-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF) for efficient multi-page scanning, copying or faxing, along with flatbed scanning at an optical resolution of 1200 × 2400 dpi.
Design-wise, it maintains a modest footprint (approx. 375 × 347 × 237 mm) and weighs around 5 kg—making it suitable for desk space in a modern home office. The ink tank system is user-friendly: front-facing tanks, key-lock refill bottles to prevent mis-colour filling, and spill-free operation are all emphasised
