Epson EcoTank L3351 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 26,000, available at our Nairobi CBD store on Kimathi Street. The L3351 is a brand new and sealed 3-in-1 A4 machine that prints, scans, and copies from refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges. It prints at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi, moves 11 pages per minute in black and 6 pages per minute in colour under ISO testing, and reaches 33 ppm in draft mode. Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and USB are all built in. Every Epson EcoTank L3351 arrives with four 65ml ink bottles already in the box.
Mascom International sells the Epson EcoTank L3351 to retail shop owners issuing invoices and delivery notes, private clinics printing patient records and referral letters, church and SACCO administrators producing weekly bulletins, and real estate agents copying tenancy agreements across Nairobi, Nakuru, and Kisumu. The problem most Kenyan buyers describe is cartridge cost: a cheap printer that swallows thousands of shillings in replacement cartridges every few hundred pages. The Epson EcoTank L3351 answers that directly. A single replacement black bottle carries up to 4,700 pages, so the purchase price spreads across thousands of documents rather than a few reams of paper.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that list ink tank printers without explaining running costs, Mascom International shows you the yield figures before you pay. Users consistently report that the L3351 sits quietly on a desk at 361 x 317 x 162 mm and 4.2 kg, which suits shared office space and hostel rooms. Walk into Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD to run a test page and a test scan on the L3351 before buying, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank L3351
Is the Epson EcoTank L3351 worth KSh 26,000 for a small Kenyan office?
Yes, for anyone printing more than 100 pages a month. The Epson EcoTank L3351 costs KSh 26,000 at Mascom International and arrives with four 65ml ink bottles already included. Those starter bottles cover roughly 3,600 black pages and 6,500 colour pages before the first refill is due. A cartridge printer at half the purchase price typically needs new cartridges after 200 to 300 pages. Across one year of steady invoice and assignment printing, the L3351 normally costs far less in total.
How much does printing cost once the included ink runs out?
Replacement ink for the L3351 comes from the Epson 103 series, sold as 65ml bottles in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. A replacement black bottle prints up to 4,700 pages and a colour set up to 7,500 pages under ISO/IEC 24712 testing. That works out to a fraction of a shilling per text page. Refilling takes about two minutes: lift the tank cover, match the keyed bottle to its colour port, and let it drain. Mascom International stocks 103 bottles alongside the printer.
Does the L3351 print in colour and scan documents too?
The Epson EcoTank L3351 handles all three jobs. It prints in full colour at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi, scans through a 1200 x 2400 dpi A4 flatbed using a contact image sensor, and copies standalone with no computer connected. Standalone copying runs at 8.7 images per minute in black and 4 in colour, at 600 x 600 dpi, up to 20 copies per job. That covers ID copies, title deeds, exam papers, and receipt books without a separate copier.
How do I connect the L3351 to my phone and laptop?
The L3351 offers three connection routes: USB cable to a computer, Wi-Fi through your home or office router, and Wi-Fi Direct straight from a phone with no router involved. Wi-Fi Direct matters during Kenyan internet outages because the printer creates its own private link. Android phones print through Mopria Print Service, iPhones and iPads use Apple AirPrint, and the Epson Smart Panel app runs setup and ink checks on both. Windows 7 through Windows 11 and macOS 10.9 upward are supported.
Can the L3351 print on both sides of a page?
Two-sided printing on the L3351 is manual, not automatic. The printer runs the odd pages first, then prompts you to flip the stack and reload it for the even pages. There is no internal duplex unit at this price point. For students printing 40-page assignments this adds one step per batch, which most buyers accept given the ink savings. If your office needs automatic duplex, Mascom International can point you to higher EcoTank models that include it.
Will the L3351 run on a UPS during Kenya Power outages?
Heat-Free Technology is the reason the L3351 works well with Kenyan mains supply. Because the print head fires ink without heating it, the printer draws roughly 17W while printing and 12W while copying, against hundreds of watts for a laser unit warming up. A modest 650VA UPS therefore carries it through short interruptions. It also starts printing almost immediately after switch-on, with the first black page out in about 9.7 seconds and no warm-up wait.
What ink does the L3351 use and is it sold in Kenya?
The Epson 103 series is the only ink the L3351 accepts, and it is widely stocked across Nairobi including at Mascom International on Kimathi Street. Bottles are keyed, meaning each nozzle shape fits only its matching tank, so you cannot accidentally pour cyan into the magenta reservoir. The ink is dye-based, which produces strong photo colour and clean text on plain paper. Third-party refills void the Epson warranty, so we supply genuine 103 bottles only.
How does the L3351 compare with a laser printer for a small office?
A mono laser prints faster in long bursts, but the L3351 wins on colour and on cost per page. Toner for a budget office laser typically covers around 1,500 pages, while one 103 black bottle covers up to 4,700. The L3351 also prints borderless photos up to 10 x 15 cm, which no cheap laser can do. Choose laser if you print 2,000 identical black pages monthly. Choose the L3351 for mixed colour and text work.
