Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose EcoTank L5290 if you need:

  • Printing, scanning, copying and faxing in one device.
  • Multi-page scanning or copying through a 30-sheet ADF.
  • Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and Ethernet, plus AirPrint, Mopria and Epson Connect services.
  • Faster 10 × 15 cm photo printing at 27 seconds instead of 69 seconds.

Choose EcoTank L3210 if you need:

  • Print, scan and copy functions without fax or an ADF.
  • A lighter device weighing 3.9 kg instead of 5 kg and measuring 58 mm less in height.
  • Lower ready and sleep consumption at 4 W and 0.4 W respectively.

The EcoTank L5290 is the best overall because of its broader functions, network connectivity, ADF and faster photo output. The L3210 may suit users who prefer a simpler, lighter printer and do not require fax or network connections.

What Is the Difference Between Epson EcoTank L5290 Printer and Epson EcoTank L3210 Printer?

Both printers use a four-colour CMYK ink system and offer the same maximum print resolution of 5760 × 1440 dpi. Their ISO speeds are also identical at 10 ppm in black and 5 ppm in colour. Both provide 1200 × 2400 dpi scanning, a 100-sheet input capacity, manual duplex printing and included ink yields of 8,100 black and 6,500 colour pages.

The main difference is that the L5290 prints, scans, copies and faxes, whereas the L3210 only prints, scans and copies. The former also includes a 30-sheet ADF, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet and mobile printing services, while the supplied data explicitly lists no wireless or Ethernet connectivity for the latter. It also prints a 10 × 15 cm photo in 27 seconds rather than 69 seconds and supports direct USB printing.

The L5290 benefits users who process multiple documents or require fax and network sharing. The L3210 may suit simpler, computer-connected use and is lighter at 3.9 kg, with a lower overall height.
