Summary: which fits better?
Epson EcoTank L3260 Printer vs Epson EcoTank L5290 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 L3260 Printer if you need: the simpler footprint shown in the table.
Pick Epson EcoTank L5290 Printer if you need: fax or a fuller print/scan/copy set in the table, network / wireless printing (including 5 GHz when present), faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L5290 about 27 seconds and EcoTank L3260 about 69 seconds in published figures (~42 second gap). That edge is conditional on matching quality mode, bordered printing, and test conditions — paper type alone is not enough.
