The Epson EcoTank M2140 is now available at Mascom International for KSh 36,000, a three-in-one monochrome ink tank machine that prints, scans, and copies at up to 39 pages per minute in draft mode. Two black ink bottles ship inside the box, together covering roughly 11,000 pages before you buy replacement ink. The Epson EcoTank M2140 pushes 20 ISO pages per minute on standard settings, handles automatic two-sided output, and holds 250 sheets in its main tray. Mascom International stocks it at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Schools printing termly exams, SACCOs producing member statements, law firms preparing court bundles for Milimani, and clinics filing patient records all share one problem: toner costs more than the machine itself. A mono laser cartridge runs dry after a few hundred pages, and the replacement bill lands every month. The Epson EcoTank M2140 breaks that cycle with refillable front tanks, where a single 005 bottle covers 6,000 pages. For a Nairobi office printing 300 pages monthly, the in-box ink alone lasts close to three years before the first refill purchase.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who shelve the M2140 as a generic office box, Mascom International walks buyers through the real running-cost math before purchase. Users consistently report that the pigment ink resists smudging when paperwork is handled with damp hands, which matters for receipts and delivery notes that travel. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand from cyber cafés and small accounting practices moving off cartridge machines.

Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank M2140
What does the Epson EcoTank M2140 cost in Kenya and what can it do?
Mascom International sells the Epson EcoTank M2140 at KSh 36,000. It is a three-in-one monochrome device: it prints, it scans on a flatbed glass, and it copies as a standalone unit without a computer attached. Print speed reaches 39 pages per minute in draft mode and 20 ISO pages per minute in normal mode. Automatic two-sided printing is built in. The unit prints black only, so colour graphics come out in grey tones.
What does one page actually cost to print on this machine?
Running cost is the reason most Kenyan offices buy this model. One 005 high-capacity bottle prints up to 6,000 pages. Compare that to a typical mono laser cartridge covering 1,500 to 2,000 pages for a similar price, and the gap becomes obvious over a year. The two bottles supplied in the box cover about 11,000 pages combined. A branch printing 500 pages weekly gets roughly eight months of output before touching a shop for ink.
Does the Epson EcoTank M2140 have Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
No. The Epson EcoTank M2140 connects through Hi-Speed USB 2.0 only. There is no Wi-Fi, no Ethernet port, and no mobile printing app support. One computer drives it at a time, which suits a reception desk, an accounts office, or a single workstation. Offices needing wireless printing across several laptops should look at the M2170 instead. Our Kimathi Street team explains this difference before every sale, because it is the most common point of confusion.
Is the Epson EcoTank M2140 fast enough for a busy office?
For document work, yes. First page leaves the tray in about 6 seconds from ready in simplex mode, and 13 seconds when printing both sides. Continuous output runs at 20 ISO pages per minute simplex and 9 pages per minute duplex. A 40-page tender document finishes in roughly two minutes. Epson rates the machine at 20,000 pages per month as its ceiling, so it copes with school exam runs and month-end statement batches.
Can the Epson EcoTank M2140 print in colour?
No, the M2140 is a monochrome machine with black pigment ink only. Colour documents print as greyscale. That limitation is deliberate: black-only pigment ink is what pushes the cost per page so low and keeps text sharp and water-resistant. Kenyan businesses printing invoices, contracts, exam papers, receipts, and reports rarely need colour. If your work needs colour output, ask our team about the Epson L-series tank printers we also stock.
How does this compare to a mono laser printer?
Output quality on plain paper is close, and the M2140 uses pigment ink rather than toner, so text resists water and smudging. The differences show elsewhere. Laser machines warm up and draw far more power; this printer runs at about 13 watts while working, which matters when a generator or inverter carries the office through an outage. Refilling from a bottle also costs a fraction of buying replacement toner cartridges in Nairobi.
Does the Epson EcoTank M2140 come with ink included?
Yes. Two black ink bottles ship in the box, covering approximately 11,000 pages combined between them. That is unusual at this price point, since most printers include only starter ink. Replacements are sold as 005 high-capacity bottles at 6,000 pages, or 005S standard bottles at 2,000 pages. Mascom International stocks both. A USB cable is not supplied in the box, so budget for one if your setup does not already have a spare.
Who should buy the Epson EcoTank M2140 in Kenya?
Schools printing exams and report forms, SACCOs and microfinance branches producing member statements, law firms assembling case bundles, accountants handling KRA and eTIMS paperwork, cyber cafés serving walk-in customers, clinics printing patient notes, and NGO field offices in Nakuru, Eldoret, or Kisumu that print heavily but rarely need colour. Anyone currently spending more on toner each quarter than the printer originally cost will see the difference within the first few months.
What paper sizes and volumes does it handle?
The main cassette takes 250 sheets of 80 gsm paper, half a standard ream. A single-sheet rear slot handles thicker stock or a one-off envelope without unloading the main tray. Supported sizes include A4, Legal, Letter, B5, A5, A6, and DL or C6 envelopes, with a top length of 1,200 mm for banner work. The output tray catches 100 printed sheets before it needs clearing.
