The real split between the Epson EcoTank L5290 and Epson EcoTank L18050 is role, not a single “faster” score: an A4 office 4‑in‑1 (print/scan/copy/fax) versus a 6‑color photo printer up to A3+ with no copy, scan, or fax.
Choose the L5290 for everyday documents: A4 with copy, scan, fax, ADF, and Ethernet. ISO black is higher in the table (~10 vs 8 ppm), while color is lower (~5 vs 8). Do not compare copy speed to the L18050—it does not copy.
Choose the L18050 for photo and large‑format prints: six inks including Light Cyan/Light Magenta, borderless up to A3+, CD/DVD printing, and an OEM‑published ~13s 10×15 time versus ~27s on the L5290 under comparable quality/frame conditions—not an independent lab test.
The current price gap is large (~\$240 vs ~\$515). That premium buys a wide photo printer, not an office document workflow; fax/ADF/Ethernet buyers should not pay it for those jobs.
Verdict: document/fax office → L5290. photo / A3+ focus → L18050.
Duplex Printing: Manual, Ink Technology: Dye Ink, Tkny Altbaaa: Epson Micro Piezo print head, Wi Fi Direct: 1, Wireless Connectivity: 1
For document work that needs copy, scan, fax, ADF, and Ethernet on A4, pick the L5290. For photo‑focused printing with six inks up to A3+ and disc printing, pick the L18050—it is print‑only.
Based on current prices, EcoTank L5290 Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 240 USD versus 530 USD for EcoTank L18050 Printer. The price difference is 290 USD, about 54.7% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
No per the functions table: Print only. Comparing “copy speed” or scanning against the L5290 is invalid because those jobs are not listed for the L18050.
The L18050 adds Light Cyan and Light Magenta in a six‑color photo setup, with borderless up to A3+ and CD/DVD printing. The L5290 is a four‑color A4 office model with fax and ADF.
Epson‑published figures are about 13 s for the L18050 versus about 27 s for the L5290 under comparable quality/frame conditions—not an independent lab result, and not a substitute for choosing the right device role.
No as one number. In the table, black is higher on the L5290 (10 vs 8 ppm) while color is higher on the L18050 (8 vs 5). Choose by your dominant job type, not a generic “faster” claim.
Only if you need a wide six‑color photo printer with A3+/disc capability. If you need fax, ADF, or Ethernet, that premium does not buy those features—the L18050 does not list them.
