The Epson EcoTank L15150 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 146,000, bringing A3 Plus printing, scanning, copying, and faxing into one machine. The Epson EcoTank L15150 uses a PrecisionCore printhead rated at 4800 x 2400 dpi, prints up to 25 ipm in black, and refills from four bottles rather than cartridges. A single bottle set covers roughly 7,500 black pages or 6,000 colour pages. Three paper sources hold 550 sheets in total, and a 50-sheet A3 document feeder handles stacks without babysitting. Mascom International stocks the unit at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Architects, quantity surveyors, print bureaus, school administrators, and county offices across Kenya share the same problem: A3 work forces them outside, to a commercial printer, at KSh 50 to KSh 150 per sheet. The Epson EcoTank L15150 moves that work in-house. Drawings, exam papers, valuation reports, tender documents, and marketing posters print at your own desk, on your own schedule, at a per-page cost measured in shillings rather than tens of shillings. The 50-sheet feeder scans and copies whole contract files unattended, while automatic two-sided output up to A3 halves the paper bill on long documents.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who sell A3 machines without explaining the running cost, Mascom International quotes the honest arithmetic before you buy. Users consistently report that the first bottle set outlasts several months of steady office volume, which is where the Epson EcoTank L15150 earns back its purchase price against a cartridge A3 model. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand from Nairobi print shops and upcountry schools that were previously outsourcing every A3 job. Visit our Kimathi Street store to see the Epson EcoTank L15150 print a test A3 sheet before you commit, or order for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank L15150
What makes the Epson EcoTank L15150 different from cartridge printers?
The tank system is the difference. Instead of sealed cartridges, four front-mounted tanks are filled from 008 series ink bottles that you can see through the printer body. One bottle set produces roughly 7,500 black pages or 6,000 colour pages, against a few hundred pages from a typical A3 cartridge. Refilling uses keyed bottle nozzles that only fit the matching tank, so cross-colour mistakes are difficult. The printhead is designed to last the life of the machine.
How much does each page cost to print on the Epson EcoTank L15150?
Cost per page lands in the low single-shilling range for black text and roughly two to four shillings for mixed colour, depending on coverage and local ink pricing. Compare that with KSh 50 to KSh 150 per A3 sheet at a commercial bureau in Nairobi CBD. An office printing 500 A3 sheets monthly recovers a meaningful share of the KSh 146,000 within the first year. Ask our team for a coverage-based estimate on your actual document mix.
How fast does the Epson EcoTank L15150 print in a busy office?
Rated speeds are 25 ipm black and 12 ipm colour on A4 single-sided, dropping to 16 ipm and 9 ipm in duplex. A3 output runs 13.5 ipm black and 6 ipm colour. Draft mode reaches 32 ppm for internal copies where quality matters less. First page leaves the tray in about 5.5 seconds from ready state. Heat-Free Technology means no warm-up delay, so the first job of the morning starts immediately.
Can the Epson EcoTank L15150 handle full A3 and A3 Plus jobs?
Yes. Single-sided printing goes up to A3 Plus, also called Super B at 13 x 19 inches, which covers full-bleed A3 posters with trim margins. Automatic two-sided printing works up to standard A3. Banner printing supports lengths to 6,000mm through the rear feed. Copying tops out at A3, and the flatbed scans a 297 x 431.8mm area. Architects printing at 1:100 and schools running A3 exam booklets both stay inside these limits comfortably.
How does the Epson EcoTank L15150 handle scanning copying and fax?
The flatbed scanner uses a CIS sensor at 1200 x 2400 dpi optical resolution with 48-bit colour input. The 50-sheet automatic document feeder scans two-sided originals at up to 11.5 ipm and single-sided at 26 ipm in monochrome. Standalone copying runs to 999 copies with 25 to 400 percent scaling. Fax transmits at 33.6 kbps, about three seconds per page, and stores up to 550 received pages in memory when paper runs out.
Does the Epson EcoTank L15150 print from phones and over Wi-Fi?
The machine carries Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct for up to eight devices without a router, Gigabit-free wired Ethernet, and USB 2.0. Epson iPrint handles printing and scanning from Android and iPhone. Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service work natively, so most Kenyan office phones print without installing anything. Epson Connect adds email printing and scan-to-cloud, useful when a director in Mombasa needs a document waiting at the Nairobi office.
Who should buy the Epson EcoTank L15150 in Kenya?
Architecture and surveying practices, civil design consultancies, secondary schools and colleges, county government offices, small print bureaus, real estate agencies producing property boards, and NGOs generating field reports. The common thread is regular A3 volume plus scanning and copying needs that currently sit with two or three separate machines. Businesses printing fewer than 100 A3 sheets a month may find an A4 tank model cheaper. Our Kimathi Street team helps you work out which side you fall on.
Is the Epson EcoTank L15150 worth KSh 146,000 for a small business?
It depends on your A3 volume. At bureau rates of KSh 80 per A3 colour sheet, 200 sheets monthly costs KSh 16,000, so the machine pays for itself in roughly nine months of printing alone. Add the saved travel time to town and the scanning and fax functions it replaces. Businesses with occasional A3 needs are better served by a cheaper A4 unit and outsourcing the rare oversized job.
Where do I get genuine 008 ink refills for the Epson EcoTank L15150 in Kenya?
Mascom International stocks Epson 008 series pigment ink bottles in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow, plus the C12C934591 maintenance box. Buying genuine bottles matters more on tank printers than cartridge models because third-party ink can clog the PrecisionCore printhead and void your warranty. We deliver refill bottles countrywide on the same pay-on-arrival terms as the machine. Call or WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 to check current bottle pricing and stock.
