Epson EcoTank L15168 Printer vs Epson EcoTank L18050 Printer — choose by the use case in the table (role/paper, document features, connectivity, speed).
research reference (not for sale) vs store product.
When to pick which:
Pick Epson EcoTank L15168 Printer if you need: fax or a fuller print/scan/copy set in the table, network / wireless printing (including 5 GHz when present), automatic duplex.
Pick Epson EcoTank L18050 Printer if you need: faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L18050 about 13 seconds and EcoTank L15168 about 26 seconds in published figures (~13 second gap). That edge is conditional on matching quality mode, bordered printing, and test conditions — paper type alone is not enough.
Key differences:
Based on the specs table, Epson EcoTank L15168 Printer fits most office needs better thanks to: Printer Functions: Print, Scan, Copy, Fax vs Print; Interfaces: USB, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet vs Hi-Speed USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct; Duplex Printing: Yes (A4/A3, plain paper) vs Manual.
Maximum dpi and ink bottle series numbers alone do not settle the buy.

Not by themselves. Dpi alone does not prove higher quality, and bottle series is a consumables difference. Decide by role, duplex/ADF, speed, connectivity, and price.
