Epson EcoTank L5196 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 L5196 Printer if you need: higher ink yield.
Pick Epson EcoTank L5290 Printer if you need: higher ink yield, faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L5290 about 27 seconds and EcoTank L5196 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.
Key differences:
Based on the specs table, Epson EcoTank L5290 Printer fits most office needs better thanks to: Included Black Ink Yield: 4500 vs 8100; 1015 Cm Photo Print Speed: 69 vs 27; Mobile Printing Services: Apple AirPrint vs Apple AirPrint, Epson Connect (iPrint, Email Print, Remote Print Driver), Epson Smart Panel App.
Maximum dpi and ink bottle series numbers alone do not settle the buy.
Adf Colour Scan Speed: 4.5, Adf Monochrome Scan Speed: 4.5, Adf Supported Paper Weight: 64-95, Duplex Printing: Manual, Ethernet Connectivity: 1
Pick Epson EcoTank L5196 Printer if you need: higher ink yield.
Pick Epson EcoTank L5290 Printer if you need: higher ink yield, faster 10×15 cm photos (lower seconds).
Paper Size: Legal vs A4
10×15 cm photos: EcoTank L5290 about 27 seconds and EcoTank L5196 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.
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.
