Is the print head of the Epson EcoTank L6290 permanent, or does it need replacing?
The PrecisionCore head is permanent and built into the printer (400 nozzles for black, 128 per colour). You never buy a new head: only Epson 101 ink bottles to refill the four front-facing tanks.
Does the Epson L6290 offer automatic duplex printing?
Yes, duplex printing is automatic. It also has a 30-page automatic document feeder (ADF) for copying, scanning or faxing stacks of sheets without turning them over by hand.
How many pages can you print with the ink supplied in the box?
The supplied ink set prints up to 14,000 pages in black and 5,200 in colour (estimated yields based on Epson's method). The box contains 1 black bottle of 127 ml plus an extra black bottle, and 3 colour bottles of 70 ml.
Is the L6290's black ink water-resistant?
Yes. The black uses a pigment ink that produces sharp, durable, water-resistant text, ideal for business documents. The colours (cyan, yellow, magenta) are dye-based.
Is a USB cable supplied with the printer?
No, the USB cable is not included and must be bought separately. You can, however, connect the printer without a cable via Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct or Ethernet.
Does the Epson L6290 connect to a wired (Ethernet) network, or over Wi-Fi only?
It offers every option: USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. That is a real asset for stable sharing in the office, wired or wireless.
