The Epson EcoTank L4150 prints, scans, and copies at up to 5760 x 1440 dpi from refillable tanks, and it is now available at Mascom International for KSh 82,000. This A4 three-in-one machine draws from four front-mounted tanks instead of cartridges, so a single fill covers thousands of documents. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct let up to four devices send jobs, with or without a router. The Epson EcoTank L4150 weighs 5 kilograms and takes up 375 by 347 millimetres of desk space. Mascom International stocks the Epson EcoTank L4150 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Small businesses across Kenya lose money to cartridge refills that cost more than the paper they print on. A law firm in Upper Hill running 800 court bundles a month, a school in Nakuru printing exam papers, and a cyber cafe off Moi Avenue all face the same bill. The Epson EcoTank L4150 attacks that cost directly. Each black bottle holds roughly 65 to 70 millilitres of ink and covers about 4,500 A4 pages. Accountants filing KRA returns, real estate agents printing lease packs, and university students at Kenyatta University and Strathmore get the same saving.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who quote a low sticker price and stay quiet about consumables, Mascom International states the running cost up front. Users consistently report that one set of Epson 103 bottles lasts several months in a small office. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady movement away from cartridge machines as businesses count their page costs. The Epson EcoTank L4150 arrives brand new and sealed, backed by a 12-month warranty. Visit our Kimathi Street store to run a test page, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank L4150
What makes the Epson EcoTank L4150 cheaper to run than a cartridge printer?
Ink cost per page drops sharply because the L4150 refills from bottles rather than cartridges. One genuine Epson 103 black bottle covers roughly 4,500 A4 pages, and each colour bottle reaches about 7,500 pages. A full four-bottle set costs a fraction of what four cartridge sets cost in Nairobi. An office printing 500 pages weekly typically refills two or three times a year. That gap pays back the purchase price over a normal working life.
How fast does the Epson EcoTank L4150 print?
Draft mode reaches 33 pages per minute in black and 15 pages per minute in colour. Under the ISO 24734 standard, which uses a realistic mixed document, output settles at 10.5 images per minute black and 5.0 colour. Copying runs at 7.7 images per minute in black. A 20-page contract in draft black finishes in under a minute. Photo prints on 10 by 15 centimetre glossy paper take about 69 seconds each.
Can I print from my phone with the Epson EcoTank L4150?
Yes. The machine carries Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n plus Wi-Fi Direct, so Android and iPhone users print over the office network or straight to the printer. Wi-Fi Direct links up to four devices without any router, which matters when the internet drops. The Epson iPrint app handles both printing and scanning from a phone. Mopria Print Service covers Android 4.4 and later. Google Cloud Print appeared on the original spec sheet, but Google retired that service in 2021.
Does the Epson EcoTank L4150 print on both sides automatically?
No. The L4150 has no automatic duplex unit, so double-sided printing means flipping the stack by hand. Most drivers walk you through it with an on-screen prompt. For an office printing long double-sided reports daily, that manual step adds real time. Buyers who need automatic duplex should look at higher L-series models. Anyone printing single-sided invoices, receipts, class notes, or KRA documents will not notice the gap.
Which ink bottles does the Epson EcoTank L4150 use in Kenya?
Kenyan units normally take the Epson 103 series: black C13T00S14A plus matching cyan, magenta, and yellow bottles. Asian-market machines use the 003 series instead, and the two are not interchangeable. Check the label on your tank cover before buying refills. Black ink is pigment-based, so text resists water and smudging on plain paper. Colour inks are dye-based for photo work. Mascom International stocks genuine Epson bottles alongside the printer.
Who should buy the Epson EcoTank L4150?
Small offices, schools, cyber cafes, and homes printing 200 to 2,000 pages a month get the clearest benefit. Accountants working through KRA filing season, lawyers preparing court bundles, and shopkeepers printing delivery notes all sit in that range. Students at University of Nairobi, JKUAT, and Daystar use it for coursework and project reports. Households printing photos and school assignments also do well. Very high-volume print bureaus should consider a laser instead.
Can the Epson EcoTank L4150 scan and copy without a computer?
Copying works standalone from the control panel, up to 20 copies per run at 360 by 360 dpi. Scanning needs either a connected computer or the Epson iPrint app on a phone, since the machine has no memory card slot or USB host port. The flatbed scans at 1200 by 2400 dpi optical resolution across a 216 by 297 millimetre area. That covers ID copies, title deeds, and receipts.
How does the Epson EcoTank L4150 cope with Kenyan power supply?
The printer draws 12 watts while running and 3.9 watts on standby, so a small 650VA UPS carries it through short Kenya Power interruptions. Rated voltage is 220 to 240 volts at 50 to 60 hertz, matching Kenyan mains with no converter needed. A sudden cut mid-job leaves a partial page, not a damaged head. Mascom International stocks matching UPS units for buyers in areas with frequent outages.
Is the Epson EcoTank L4150 worth KSh 82,000 in Kenya's market?
The value sits in the consumables rather than the box. An office printing 1,000 pages monthly spends far less on Epson 103 bottles than on cartridges for a comparable machine. Across three years that difference usually passes the purchase price. Buyers printing under 50 pages a month will not recover it as quickly. Mascom International lists the price openly and includes a 12-month warranty on every unit.
