Which should you buy: Epson EcoTank L3166 or L3250? The Epson L3250 is the practical choice if you need a currently available multifunction printer. It supports printing, copying, scanning, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct and is offered for sale by the store. The Epson L3166 provides the same core functions and features a 1.44-inch colour LCD for convenient on-device operation, but it is not currently available from the store.
Performance: Both printers offer published ISO speeds of 10 ppm monochrome and 5 ppm colour, a maximum print resolution of 5760 × 1440 dpi, a 100-sheet input capacity and a 30-sheet output capacity. Both support manual duplex printing and Wi-Fi Direct. Neither has a verified advantage in standard document printing speed.
Ink and operating costs: The Chinese L3166 uses Epson 004 ink and has published test yields of approximately 4500 black and 7500 colour pages, with potentially lower actual bundled yields due to initial ink charging. The European L3250 SKU C11CJ67405 uses Epson 103 ink, with published bundled yields of 8100 black and 6500 colour pages. These figures alone cannot establish the lower running cost; local replacement ink prices and availability must also be considered.
Final recommendation: Choose the L3250 for a currently available all-in-one printer. Consider the L3166 if its colour LCD matters to you and you can obtain a unit in good condition at a suitable price. Do not use the published photo printing times alone to select a winner because the displayed measurement conditions are not equivalent.
1. Functions: Both printers support printing, copying and scanning. Neither offers more core functions than the other.
2. Control panel: The L3166 has a 1.44-inch colour LCD. The current table provides no display value for the L3250; missing information does not establish the absence of a display.
3. Connectivity: Both support USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct and compatible Epson mobile printing services. Discontinued Google Cloud Print must not be counted as a current feature.
4. Document speed: Both list ISO speeds of 10 ppm black and 5 ppm colour and published economy speeds of 33 ppm black and 15 ppm colour.
5. Photo printing: The table lists 69 seconds for the L3166 and 27 seconds for the L3250 for a 10 × 15 cm photo. Epson China specifies that the L3166's 69-second result uses standard quality with borders, while Epson Europe's L3250 figure is published under different specifications. The displayed figures do not establish an equivalent-condition speed advantage.
6. Bundled ink: The L3166 uses Epson 004 ink with published test yields of 4500 black and 7500 colour pages. The L3250 uses Epson 103 ink with published bundled yields of 8100 black and 6500 colour pages. Replacement ink pricing and yields are necessary for a meaningful operating-cost comparison.
7. Scanning: Both use CIS scanning technology. Epson China specifies 1200 dpi optical and 1200 × 2400 dpi maximum physical resolution for the L3166, while Epson Europe lists 1200 × 2400 dpi optical resolution for the L3250. Measurement definitions must remain explicit.
8. Paper handling: Both support paper sizes up to Legal, a 100-sheet input capacity, a 30-sheet output capacity, manual duplex printing and borderless printing up to 10 × 15 cm according to the current table.
9. Dimensions and weight: Both measure 375 × 347 × 179 mm. The L3166 weighs approximately 4 kg and the L3250 weighs 3.9 kg, a minor difference with little practical impact.
10. Availability: The current page offers the L3250 for $150, while the L3166 is unavailable. Availability affects purchasing convenience but does not establish technical superiority.
The L3250 is the practical current purchase because it is available and provides printing, copying, scanning and wireless connectivity. The L3166 is currently unavailable but offers the same core functions and a colour LCD.
It has a 1.44-inch colour LCD for on-device control, confirmed by Epson China. Missing L3250 display information in the comparison table must not be interpreted as proof that it lacks a display.
No verified advantage exists in the published ISO document speeds. Both models list 10 ppm black and 5 ppm colour.
The Chinese L3166 has published test yields of 4500 black and 7500 colour pages. The European L3250 lists bundled yields of 8100 black and 6500 colour pages. Neither is automatically cheaper to operate without comparing local replacement ink costs.
Yes. Both support Wi-Fi Direct for compatible devices without requiring a wireless router.
A reliable winner cannot be established from the displayed values because the published test conditions differ. An equivalent comparison requires matching print quality, paper type and border settings.
Both support Legal paper, but duplex printing is manual rather than automatic. Each has a 100-sheet paper input capacity.
