Epson EcoTank L3166 Printer vs Epson EcoTank L8050 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 L3166 Printer if you need: fax or a fuller print/scan/copy set in the table, higher ISO print/copy speed.
Pick Epson EcoTank L8050 Printer if you need: faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds), higher ISO print/copy speed.
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L8050 about 12 seconds and EcoTank L3166 about 69 seconds in published figures (~57 second gap). That edge is conditional on matching quality mode, bordered printing, and test conditions — paper type alone is not enough.
Key differences:
No single overall winner — choose by priority. Top table gaps: Printer Functions: Print, Scan, Copy vs Print; Paper Size: Legal vs A4; Printer Category: A4 color wireless multifunction ink tank printer vs Photo.
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.
