The Epson EcoTank L3260 all-in-one ink tank printer is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 29,000, with printing, scanning and copying in one 4.1 kg unit. The Epson EcoTank L3260 carries Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct, a 3.7 cm colour LCD screen, and front-facing refillable tanks instead of cartridges. Epson rates it at 33 pages per minute in draft black and 15 pages per minute in colour, with output resolution reaching 5,760 x 1,440 dpi. Buy the Epson EcoTank L3260 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Kenya's small business owners, school administrators, cyber café operators, accountants, church secretaries and university students face the same problem: cartridge printers cost little upfront, then drain money every few hundred pages. A single black cartridge refill can cost KSh 1,500 and last two reams at best. The Epson EcoTank L3260 solves that arithmetic differently. The ink already in the box covers up to 8,100 black pages and 6,500 colour pages, which is roughly 16 reams of A4 before you spend another shilling. For a shop printing 70 pages a month, that is close to three years of supply.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who stock printers without stocking the matching ink, Mascom International keeps genuine Epson 103 series bottles on the same shelf, so refill day never becomes a hunting trip through Luthuli Avenue. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from Nairobi CBD offices replacing tired laser units with tank models. Users consistently report that the biggest change is psychological: they stop rationing prints.

Common Questions About the Epson EcoTank L3260
Is the Epson EcoTank L3260 worth KSh 29,000 for a Kenyan small business?
Yes, if you print more than about 200 pages a month. Kenyan retailers commonly list the L3260 between KSh 32,000 and KSh 38,500, so KSh 29,000 sits below the usual band. The included ink alone covers 8,100 black pages. A cartridge printer costing KSh 12,000 would need roughly KSh 20,000 in cartridges to reach that page count. For invoices, receipts, class notes and lease agreements, the tank design pays back within the first year of normal shop use.
How much does each page actually cost to print?
A full replacement set of Epson 103 bottles yields about 4,500 black pages and 7,500 colour pages per bottle, which works out to well under one shilling per black page at current Kenyan ink prices. Epson states the tank format saves up to 90 percent against cartridge printing. The bottles hold 65 ml each and use keyed nozzles, so magenta cannot go into the cyan tank. That matters when a shop attendant, not the owner, handles the refill.
Can I print from my phone if the office Wi-Fi router is down?
Yes. Wi-Fi Direct lets the Epson EcoTank L3260 create its own connection for up to eight phones, tablets or laptops with no router involved. This is useful during Safaricom or Zuku outages, and in shops that never installed a router. For normal use, the printer joins your existing 2.4 GHz network. Epson Smart Panel handles setup, printing, scanning and ink monitoring from Android or iOS, and AirPrint plus Mopria work without any extra app.
How fast does the Epson EcoTank L3260 print and scan?
Draft mode reaches 33 pages per minute in black and 15 in colour. Under the stricter ISO 24734 standard, which measures normal-quality output, the figures are 10 pages per minute black and 5 colour. A flatbed scan at 200 dpi takes about 11 seconds in black and white and 28 seconds in colour. A borderless 10 x 15 cm photo takes roughly 69 seconds. Those numbers suit invoice runs and ID copying rather than high-volume classroom printing.
Does the Epson EcoTank L3260 print on both sides of the paper automatically?
No. Duplex printing on this model is manual, meaning you flip the stack yourself and the driver guides you through it. Some Kenyan listings incorrectly claim automatic duplex on the L3260 — Epson's own specification sheet lists manual duplex only. If automatic two-sided printing is essential for exam papers or reports, ask our Kimathi Street team about the higher L series models instead. We will tell you plainly which unit fits the job.
Which ink does it use and can I get it in Nairobi?
The Epson EcoTank L3260 sold in Kenya uses Epson 103 series bottles: black, cyan, magenta and yellow, 65 ml each. Mascom International stocks genuine 103 bottles, so you are not stuck buying refill syringes of unknown ink that clog the print head. Third-party ink voids Epson coverage and is the single most common cause of dead tank printers we see brought into the shop. One set of four bottles handles most home users for a full year.
Will it run on a UPS during Kenya Power outages?
Yes. The Epson EcoTank L3260 uses Epson Heat-Free Technology, which fires ink without warming the print head. Draw is about 12 watts while copying and 4.5 watts on standby, so a modest 650 VA UPS keeps it running through a short blackout. Laser printers pull several hundred watts and trip most small UPS units instantly. For cyber cafés in Kisumu, Nakuru or Eldoret dealing with frequent supply dips, that difference decides whether a job finishes or restarts.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi with payment on arrival?

Nairobi and its environs receive same-day delivery. Every other major city and town, including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisii and Garissa, receives delivery within 1 business day.
